From Psalm 100:4-5: “Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.”
Master of creation’s universe
Father’s love, boundless and enduring
Defying mankind’s understanding
Endless waterfall, reassuring
God’s lasting presence covers this earth
Filled with unending mercy and care
Sharing His love, bringing us gladness
Hearing concerns, answering prayers
Our world rotates between night and day
Yet, God never ceases His labors
Cherishing us, sheep in His pasture
Caring and loving us—as neighbors
God’s eternal and lasting love flows
Filling every second with love
His steadfast love shall always prevail
Sharing His love from heaven above
From the words of Christian writer, Corrie ten Boom: “There is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper still.”

Beautifully expressed, Richard. The waterfall is a particularly fitting companion to your words—powerful, ceaseless, and seemingly without end. Then the quiet of that final image feels almost like an exhale. A lovely meditation on a love that, like the waters in your poem, simply keeps flowing.

Your poems always strike a chord with me, Richard! Blessed Assurance we have every single day with our Savior! The scripture you shared (Psalm 100) is one I learned from my 5th grade elementary teacher. She had us memorize several for the year, as well as, poems and songs. That was back when we still prayed prayers over our meals and recited the pledge of allegiance at the beginning of the day. Precious memories!
