Thanks to Baby Jesus for all you've given me

I was in church on Sunday, January 13, 2013, and the choir sang the following song. The lyrics touched me so much that I couldn't continue to sing. I teared up and had to stop singing because my voice cracked. It says perfectly what I feel when I talk to God.

"These Alone Are Enough"

1. Take my heart, O Lord, take my hopes and dreams.

Take my mind with all its plans and schemes.

2. Take my thoughts, O Lord, and my memory.

Take my tears, my joys, my liberty

3. I surrender, Lord, all I have and hold.

I return to you your gifts untold.

4. When the darkness falls on my final days,

take the very breath that sang your praise.

Chorus: Give me nothing more than your love and grace. These alone, O God, are enough for me.

Church isn't for everyone but for me I find the hour and change that I spend in mass feels like some sort of therapy or meditation.  I've always gotten emotional during mass. I'm not exactly sure why but I'm often moved to tears of joy. It's probably God's love touching me. In any case, it is relaxing and gives me a clean slate to start the new week after giving up all my worry, concerns, anxiety and thanking God for all the blessings in my life.
