My heart just bursts with joy at times, and I holler out "Oh, God! I love your Word! Oh, God! I love your Word!" - like I just can't get over it. And as it turns out, I never do get over it, thank God! Does this happen to you?
Here's one I have been bawling over for two days... See, I copy and paste Scripture and things like this below, add graphics sometimes, make bookmarks or just what I call "plaques," to frame and hang, or bind up a collection in one of those what they call plastic comb binders; we bought a little Ibico just for that purpose... Anyway, here's the latest that "got" to me, and I thought someone else mignt enjoy it, too. And I was pleasantly surprised at who wrote it:

The prayers I make will then be sweet indeed,
If Thou the spirit give by which I pray:
My unassisted heart is barren clay,
Which of its native self can nothing feed:
Of good and pious works Thou art the seed,
Which quickens only where Thou say'st it may;
Unless Thou show to us Thine own true way,
No man can find it: Father! Thou must lead.
Do Thou, then, breathe those thoughts into my mind
By which such virtue may in me be bred
That in Thy holy footsteps I may tread;
The fetters of my tongue do Thou unbind,
That I may have the power to sing of Thee,
And sound Thy praises everlastingly.
