God and I

Beat That Drum

My heart stood wondering
Within me.
For what shall I do for God
Who has loved me so?
Who took me broken as I am
Mended the parts I could not fix
Till I became whole
Who cherished me ugly in
The inside as I am
Beautified my soul till
His radiance was seen by all
Till they asked , ' Why the glow?
Why the joy ? How beautiful you are?'
I replied , ' It is God! '
You feel it I live it.
What a life I live !
So my heart asks
Whatever shall I do for Him?
Do I parade Him in the streets
Shouting, ' This is Jesus , see how
He saved me from sin!'
Do I take Him to the top of a mountain
' This is God, see what the Lord has
Done for me !'
How do I contain His majesty
In such small a space.
If I love a man
I cook his favourite food
I go to his house to see how he fares
Just to make him smile.
But what does one do for the Creator
Of all ?
I dress in modesty
Clean with a willing heart
To His house I will head
Among His brethren I will pray
I will tell my church , ' Beat that drum.'
For I have come far with the Lord
Who held my dying spirit
When noone else did
Who loved me still
Despite my shortcomings
So I will dance as David dance
When God entered his city.
Like a fool I will shout in joy
For joy is all I have.
' Beat that drum.'
For with God by my side
The best is yet to come.
