“Why did you choose me?” a poem by my daughter, Meredith Ann Collins

When I witness the sunrise, I think of your mercy

And remember the story of your great sacrifice.

I then think of my Savior and how he humbled himself.

Laying down his own life to pay the price that our sin demanded.

When I look at the heavens, I think of my true home,

Of singing and dancing, praising your glorious name.

I think of your splendor and greatness, your wonder and beauty.

I ponder your power and awesomeness and I meditate on your word.

I rely on your wisdom and I seek your guidance.

You are my strong tower and I know that you will keep me safe.

Then I praise you and praise you with all my heart.

I lay down everything that I have and give it to you.

Then I think of myself of my sin and shame.

I think of your overflowing love and wonder why you chose me.
