for every mountain

for every mountain You brought me over
for every trial You've seen me through
for every blessing--hallelujah!
for this i give You praise

for every minute i walk this earth
for every breath i've ever drawn
for every blessing--hallelujah!
for this i give You praise

for every late night and every morning
for every friend that's helped me stand
for every blessing--hallelujah!
for this i give You praise

for every cloud and every blade of green, green grass
for every string on my old, out of tune guitar
for every smile that's crossed my face
for every tear that's slid down my cheek
for every time i've called my mother
for every meaningful 'i love you'
for everything everything everything
every blessing
hallelujah!
for this i give You praise

Glad to see you are still writing, my blogger friend! I still remember the poem you write a couple years ago, about seeing in black and white. I think about it often--it moved me so. It's almost been a year since your last poem--where did you go?

*the poem you wrote, not write. Wow, grammar is not my strength today.
