I stand in awe amidst God’s blessings,
For I don’t know the reason behind it.
I try to go away from Him, still He blesses me,
I try to deny His presence, still He takes care of me.
In your divine mercy forgive this sinner,
What a fool I am, not to be aware of your blessings.
You bless me through every breath I take,
But I am unaware of it, as I am of my breathing.
One thing I asked my Lord,
“Lord erase my past memories.
But do not erase the times You have blessed me”,
For I, as everyone, wanted to preserve good memories.
Then God took me back in time,
From the moment of my conception to this day,
At all stages of my life, I saw two hands above my head,
Not mine, but His mighty hands protecting me at all times.
We compare good friends to ones own shadow,
But when darkness appears the shadow disappears.
You are not a shadow O Lord but You are the light,
The light that accompanies us, even through our darkest nights.
Then God asked me which area to erase from my memory,
I was dumbfounded as the answer was none, for such were His blessings,
In our weakest moments, God is at His best,
Using all His resources just to prevent our downfall.
In spite of all this we still fall to sin,
We misuse the freedom You have given us, through Christ Jesus.
We know You are waiting for our come back,
By your grace lift us up from this pit of guilt and save us.
