I have Come To Offer Thanks and Praise

I have come to offer

Thanks and Praise.

A song springs from the silent place

Here, in my heart.

I come bowing 

To Thy Majesty and Beauty.

I fall on my face

In surrender to Thy love.

Oh Holy One,

Let me dwell here a while longer.

Your answer Beloved:

"Those who wait on the Lord

Shall renew their strength;

They shall mount up on wings as Eagles.

They shall run and not be weary;

They shall walk and not faint."

You have blessed us with your Holy Spirit,

Oh Great Mystery.

You dwell fully in our Heart.

In the presence of chaos,

You fill us with Peace 

Beyond our understanding.

You are the desire within me.

You are the home I seek.

I bow in silent reverence

Before Thee.

You are a cool glass of water

In the deserts of life.

You are a warm cup of coffee 

On a cold winter's day.

Truly, The Joy of The Lord

Is my strength.

Your Word is my food;

I am hungry.

"Create in me a  clean heart, O God, 

And  renew a right spirit within me.  

Cast me not away from your presence, 

And take not  your Holy Spirit from me. 

Restore to me the joy of your salvation, 

And uphold me with a willing spirit.  

Then I will teach transgressors your ways, 

And sinners will return to You."

Shams says, "Send me, Oh Lord."
