Through this storm I want to learn
How to be like You
I cry out to You and yearn
See me through this storm
Give me strength to continue on
And know that You will perform
A work within my soul and mind
To make me more like you
As I go through this storm I will find
And hear your words,
“Peace, be still”.
Jesus, I want to be like You
He sharpens his tongue like a sword
And bends his bow
And shoots his arrows at my heart
Help me to know Your love will always flow
Like a river and heal this broken vessel
I give it all to You, my anger ,my hurts, my pain
I will not continue to wrestle
But be thankful, for you are My defender
Do what You need to do within me
Because You are my God that is so tender
Working to make me more like You
More patient, more gentle, more loving
More forgiving, more merciful, and more gracious
My God, I will rejoice and trust in You
I want to be like you
But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You.
Psalm 5:11

Your faith that God will take care of you is an encouragement to see. You say, "Jesus, I want to be like you." I hear lots of people say that in a number of different ways. I truly believe that is the honest desire of your heart; to be like Jesus.
I love your poetry. Keep on writing you are touching lives.
Your friend,
