Psalm of Gifts

Heavenly Father
Who gave my life a body
A gift within a gift 
One gift to honor your truth
One gift to show my willingness is sincere

I was raised to believe life and body were one
I acted on my own will, and called it yours
I did not understand life was your authority
I did not understand the body falsely claimed it
An existence empty of your truth, meaningless 

Almighty God
You showed yourself through the Spirit
Then you showed yourself through power 
Then you showed yourself to witnesses of both Then you sent your Holy One, Salvation
Now your Son lives in me, and I in Him 
Amighty God
In Life and Spirit we are bound forever

Faith is a gift of the Spirit
My faith in my Lord, his faith in me
In the Spirit faith is a bond in your Love
A bond that guides my acts here through faith 
Life in me is free from the desires of the body
I walk in the Spirit, hunger for moments in it. 

You gave me everything I need to know you 
And you gave me the choice to seek you out 
You called and I came,
Your light burns ahead of me as I go forward 
My faith is met with council and guidance

And love sets the pace
You set the pace

You give me purpose
You give me hope
You gave me everything

Freely
I give you the love I choose to have for you 
Freely and forever

Amen
