What can I say about a God who loves me?
How can I prove His sweetness for me?
Which words would do Him justice?
I’m scared to even try.
I know I’ll fall short.
But He meets my shabby effort with the mighty force of His glory.
I reach out my insignificant hand, and He grabs it with His majesty.
He pulls me into His constant joy, and I dance! – I dance! – I dance!
I’m surrounded by physical prison; my flesh locks me into ordinary.
But with God I run in a ray of beauty and lie down in a bed of peace.
My love is multiplied in my emptiness and I find safety in my fear.
God lifts high my brokenness and His light shines through my life.
I know I’ll fall short.
I’m scared to even try.
Which words would do Him justice?
How can I prove His sweetness for me?
What can I say about a God who loves me?
*Author's note: I was doing my God-time, and God told me to write Him a poem. I didn't know what I was going to write, except to share how much I am loved by my Creator. When I was finished writing, I centered the poem and a cross appeared. Isn't God so wonderful? He reminds me all the time that I am loved. When I am obedient to His urging, He leads me right into His arms.

Beautiful poem and how cool that God shaped it like a cross!!!
How Beautiful! And what a gift to God and then back to you.
Very cool! I am constantly amazed by God and his interactions with me. Thanks for your support. It means a lot. I just have to tell you I keep coming back over and over again to your comment about being God's flashlight in the dark corners of the Internet for your guest post on Midday Escapades. I loved the title "Blogger's Hell."

What can we say about a God who loves us? "Thank you, Father!" Good poem.
He is so sweet ... that is so beautiful. I love it when He gives me "little" surprises like that!:0)
God is like that, but sure hope he does not get too upset when we are a little disobedient. :D
The Lord knows how to speak to you and how to direct you. This is incredible how this beautiful poem turned out visually.
I like seeing your passion for God.
That was beautiful! I loved the cross that was revealed after you were done!
Jen Keller says, " wow, thank you Jesus for using Alisa as a vessel to show me who I am in You." great poem Alisa, thank you for being obedient, those blessings of obedience are overflowing to all us girls.
That was a beautiful poem about our amazing God, and the fact that He made a cross...perfect.
