"I"

"I" 

I am, God created, self-contained 

As a free will being, 

A moral being, 

In His image, when He placed His spirit of life within. 

I have all within that is necessary 

To be self-sufficient, 

To live with others in a world 

That He created, 

With all the necessary resources,

Provided by Him,

To supply all the daily needs. 

I knowing within 

That I am related to every human birth 

Here on Earth, 

For all are self-contained just like me. 

But, today I am more than self-contained, 

For I believed and I have received, 

As my Lord and Savior, 

Jesus Christ. 

Knowing, He will bring me through the darkest night, 

By building and following daily His Word, the Light of Christ, to guide my life. 

Daily, He changes and replaces the I in me, 

With I belong to Him. 

I am self-contained in and by His strength, 

By living and walking in His Purity of  Thought within the Light of His Love. 

Lord, guide my thoughts, for I believe in You,
