Dear God

Dear God
I just wanted to thank you Lord
for all that you've done for me.
You have given me great things
to see, hear and do.
Lord you have made me so blessed.
You have gifted me
with understanding friends,
a loving family
and a bright future.
What more could I want?

Yet you went further Lord.
You had me born
in a country where
I have so much freedom,
beautiful landscapes,
unique animals.
What more could I want?

Yet you went still further Lord.
You placed me in a supportive church,
in small groups that fulfil my needs.
You gifted me friends who stretch me and keep me accountable.

And you still gave me more,
Yourself,
Eternal life
and the promise of a place with you in Heaven forevermore.
What more could i want?

I want...

I want it all,
All of it,
All that a person could hope and dream for.

Now I know what you're thinking
but all's not as it seems.
My dreams are not those of the world.

I want hope
I want love
I want dreams
I want friends

I want happiness
I want forgiveness
I want mercy
I want peace

Now I know what you're thinking
but this is my wish.
My dreams are not those of the world.

It wants money
It wants things
It wants power

It wants glory
It wants fame
It wants success

The worlds wishes differ to mine,
They are selfish, greedy and cruel.
I only hope they will see my way
Then all my wishes will come truth.
