My Earthly Treasure

I wrote this for my sweet man in honor of February 13th...the day we met! He is more than I deserve!

My Earthly Treasure

There is a man the Lord gave to me,
he saw my wounds, my shame and defeat.
He made a vow in his heart to God,
to lay down his life and help carry my cross.
My sins had been many, my forgiveness was great,
he knew by the power of Love I would break,
only to be put back together a new,
by the pure love of God through this man who was True.
No matter how hard I pushed him away,
his love grew stronger day after day.
He never gave up after nights of tears,
or storms of emotions of anger and fear.
He sat at my feet confessing Christ’s love,
whispering where I was going despite where I was.
The years have passed by and healing has come.
peace settled in as I’ve been undone.
When I look at this man, my lover, my friend,
I know by my side he’ll be till the end.
He worships the Lord in undignified ways,
pointing our children to the One worthy of praise.
He acts justly, loves mercy and walks humbly with God,
putting us first no matter the cost.
He’s a mighty warrior defending the weak,
with his entire life, the Lord he seeks.
With integrity of heart and skillful hands,
he leads those around him like a noble man.
I could search the world over and I’d never find,
A more valuable treasure than this man of mine.
