Overflow

In my life, I have learned the great value of suffering. This poem is an ode of thanksgiving for that grace.

Overflow

By Lisa Hoffman

2008

Sometimes I feel my heart shall overflow.

The depths of love for me,

Only You know.

I will take every cross

That You bring.

We shall be united

In our suffering.

Tell me where You

Want me to go.

Lead me, Lord.

Let me know.

If I stumble,

Pick me up.

Please allow me

To drink of Your bitter cup.

In faith and love,

Lord, help me grow.

Together, our hearts will overflow.

These lines....just blew me away.....

"I will take every cross ..That You bring."

and....

"If I stumble,
Pick me up.
Please allow me
To drink of Your bitter cup."

( the choir at my church sings a song... " more like him '
everytime they sing it....I can't help but think..." do they really want to take and bear what he did and does ?

Excellent write
