my psalm of 151- a thanksgiving psalm

My Psalm 151- Thanksgiving Psalm

The hope in me was almost nil

The beats of my heart were very still

In my life I have lost a lot

There was no way to move ahead.

                I searched for love and peace

                Someone to set my heart in peace

                Someone to hold me tight and

                To say that I am there to support you

I searched for someone

To share my sorrows

To shake me and cheer me

And console me in my trouble.

                I thank you lord for your arms that held me tight

                When my soul was in the darkest night

                For in you now my life starts and begins

                And in you my life will end.

You have taught me to walk and speak

You have given me knowledge and wisdom through my teachers

You have put the seed of vocation to follow you

You have helped through them to be what I am today.

                You cared for me in my school days

I have been a bud yet to bloom – but

You have cheered me up to bloom on this earth

Accept my heart-felt thanks.

You have been kind and merciful to me

You have been with me in my joys and sorrows

You turned my sorrows into joy and

You died on the cross to save me.

                You have protected me from all dangers and evil clutches

You have kept me as the apple of your eye

You have been with me as my faithful friend

And guide me all through my life.

You have called me here

And guide in each steps that I take

Mould me to be better instrument- and

 I know you will be with me forever.

              I shall sing and praise you, dear lord- for

Of you my life is more wonderful

I will proclaim your wonders among people

For you have saved my life.

I don’t know how to thank you more than this

There is no words in my heart- but 

I say again and again thank you

O God of my life and my only good forever.
