This little poem expresses my motivation in presenting these gifts from God,

for you, the reader. To Him alone be given all honor, glory, and praise!

PRAISE

Should praise be given for a gift,

That God alone can give?

Yes, but to God be all the praise,

As long as we shall live,

For He is worthy of our praise,

Our God, and Him alone.

So friend direct your praise to Him,

For of it I'll have none.

He made my mind and heart to see,

When they were blind by sin.

He gave the love that teaches me

To have deep peace within,

So if what's written here can bless

Your life when things look dim.

Just lift a thankful heart above

And give the praise to Him.
