Low and Behold

In the early morning hours I come to meet the Lord. Yearning for a touch, I press my face upon the floor. I confess my sins and faults, I weep and break before Him. He takes my great contrition, And a wondrous grace flows in. I find no greater entrance To the Father’s throne of grace Then when I come and bow so low, I am stretched out, on my face. He knows true repentance, Whether real or feigned. He yearns for earnest prayers Where blessings start to reign. Be laid out before the Lord And He will surely take His cup And pour upon you blessed hope That will revive and fill you up.

Such an inspiring poem. dear Tom. We are all sinners. But God will absolve our sins if we bow before him in humility with contrition. He sees our mind and can easily discern who is genuine and who is spurious. God waits to pour His blessings on all who call out His name in sincerity.

Thank you for your kind comments. God has me in a place where I have to rely completely on Him daily. Aren't you glad we can find grace and mercy every time we bow before Him? I say often that God pours upon me grace upon grace and mercy on mercy. He never fails to raise me up, though I a sinner be. All praise to God who loves like this, for all eternity.
