You need nothing
and yet
let me offer this to You
Creator of my soul
Provider of my consciousness
Giver of a promise to all
i cannot even fathom what lays hidden
but what i have heard and seen and felt
is already so beyond words
so let my gratitude flow through these words
using what You have given me for Your sake
to glorify You to the extent that You have opened my heart
to understand You
only You know Yourself truly
for us the approach has no end
so bless my works in this short life
for how can i claim anything
when i did not create my hands or my mouth or my mind
You
forever You
always You
never me
have mercy on David
for he is who You chose me to be
and were i to thank You
with every breath remaining in my time on earth
it would not even approximate
the reality of Your Generosity
A Mercy Case
