Sweeter Each Day

Jesus, wonderful Shepherd and Guide,
You've been with me all the way.
You've lived in my heart since I was a child,
and You are more precious today.

You sought me out - a little lost lamb,
and gathered me into the fold,
and are still leading me on at a gentler pace,
now that I am growing old.

And I thank You, Dear Lord, for the rivers we crossed,
that You never left me alone,
that Your beautiful presence grows sweater each day
on our way to my heavenly home!

This poem / prayer was in one of the many booklets that Anne left for me, knowing that I would need them. It is the story of my life, for God was with me even at the times when I didn't think I needed him. He is with me now that I need him most.
