NaPoWriMo 2012 – 30 Poems in 30 Days – Day 15
Happy Sunday! Fifteen down and fifteen more to go! I’m jazzed that I am at the mid-point of this poetry challenge. Do you ever look at your life and see that it’s not where you want it to be, but you are amazed at how far you’ve come and even though you may be having a setback, you still have great optimism for your future because you know you are a child of God? Well, that’s how I’m feeling, so today’s piece was written in the vein of a gospel song and I’m giving God all of the praise! I hope this coming week brings you all closer to your dreams! I will be coming at you with more poetry for the next two weeks, but for now, please enjoy this poem and feel free to sing, clap your hands and stomp your feet while reading. He is worthy to be praised!

Thank you Jesus for my he(ART)!
Thank you Jesus for my soul!
Thank you Jesus for my feet!
Thank you Jesus for my nose!
I’m walking in your light! (Clap, clap, clap!)
I’m walking in your light! (Clap, clap, clap!)
The only reason that I’m awake
Is because you created day
I just crossed the finish line
But that’s because you created time
I’m walking in your light! (Clap, clap, clap!)
I’m walking in your light! (Clap, clap, clap!)
I’m so blessed to have pretty hair
But I know my God put it there
They also say that I can write
But I hold the pen by his grace of might
I’m walking in his light! (Clap, clap, clap!)
I’m walking in his light! (Clap, clap, clap!)
Sure as day I get tired
But only God can bring me through the fire
By his side I escape unscathed
Walking tall on the path he laid
I’m walking in his light! (Clap, clap, clap!)
I’m walking in his light! (Clap, clap, clap!)
So, so glad to give up this fight
God’s got it handled, so there is no fright
I can breathe and live in peace
Knowing God’s love will never cease
God please continue to be my light!

Thanks Jessica. I was in a very musical mood this morning. Going to check out your post now. 🙂
I am singing and clapping with delight! What a great testimony to all God has blessed us with – just so uplifting!
On another note, I just responded to a comment you made a few days ago, Tameka, which somehow slipped under the radar. Please accept my apology and know how much I appreciate your visits and thoughtful comments on my blog.
Blessings to you!
Thanks Martha! I woke up with this ditty on my brain! No worries about the comments. I appreciate your presence on my blog as well. Have a great week!
Amen and amen! I haven’t been to church in a long time, but this brought me right back, all the way to when I was a girl. I feel your spirit in this beautiful hymn. Thanks, Tameka, and God bless! <3
Hi, Tameka! ~
This is EXACTLY how I’m feeling about my health issues TODAY: “Do you ever look at your life and see that it’s not where you want it to be, but you are amazed at how far you’ve come and even though you may be having a setback, you still have great optimism for your future because you know you are a child of God?”
Praise the Lord!!!
I’m walking in his light! (Clap, clap, clap!)
I’m walking in his light! (Clap, clap, clap!)

I can see this being sung in Church…great song of praise. Keep walking in the light, Tameka ♥
I hope you feel better soon Linda. I like the enthusiasm in your clap. Get it sister!
Amen and amen indeed! Sometimes when I feel the need to be down or complain it makes it better if I sing a gospel song. It always helps so I made up my own. Glad you feel the spirit Sweepy. Thanks! 🙂
