It’s all I have,
There should be more
For all You say and do
But all that I can think of,
Lord,
Is simply this;
“Thank You”
The same word that I give to those
Who hold a door or lend a hand
Is the word that I use
For You
and Your shed blood
But oh,
You understand
"Thank-you"

I actually have this Jim Reeves album, passed down from my parents. His voice is one of the purest I've ever heard, and such meaningful songs. I enjoyed your poem.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have this album. i have a few of his but not his one. He was surely a treasure gone too soon, yet never really gone. His voice lives on and I am glad because there is no other quite like it!
DeleteThank-you Gayle!
Just saw this and saw twin sis had beat me to it. One of our favorite albums growing up.
ReplyDeletewow! I've 'met' Gayle on your blog but I did not connect this. thank-you for telling me. Jim Reeves will always be one of my favorites!
