Our Father’s handiwork

Bringing glory to His name

Designs of every shape

Lighting eternity’s flame

 

Awesome are Father’s deeds

Turning darkness into light

Wonders of creation

Shining from nightly moonlight

 

Goodness from Father’s hands

Detailing His divine ways

Deliverance descends

Beholding sky without gray

 

Bigness of Father’s heart

Promising grace from His love

Filled with benevolence

Working always from above

From Psalm 66:3-4:  “Say to God, ‘How awesome are Your deeds!  Because of Your great power, Your enemies cringe before You.  All the earth worships You; they sing praises to You, sing praises to Your name.'”

The night is long, and dark, and strong, but the morning must come; and how what a sunrise will it be.

From Psalm 30:4-5:  “Sing praises to the Lord, O you His faithful ones, and give thanks to His holy name.  For His anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a lifetime.  Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”

John Angell James (1785-1859) was an English pastor and Christian writer.

Accepting life’s ongoing gifts

Filling wonder, never adrift

 

Marveling at heavens above

Inspiring vastness of God’s love

 

Walking in righteousness with God

Comforted by His love, unflawed

 

Looking ahead, with peace and hope

Holding tightly to God’s firm rope

 

Treating others with words which say

Sharing compassion’s rich bouquet

 

Gathering strength for life’s travels

Trusting God, nothing unravels

 

Listening to deepest feelings

Surveying each moment’s healing

 

Receiving mid-course corrections

Hearing God’s faithful directions

 

Sailing in darkness, never cursed

Navigating by God, headfirst

 

Achieving goals, each passing day

Tasting our Lord’s hope-filled buffet

 

Tackling challenges without fear

Taking risks, with God set to steer

 

Stepping forward beyond life’s dreams

Following each path as God deems

Embracing Savior’s peace

Heart replenished with grace

Encouraging boldness

Every word be heartfelt
