Keeper of Time's Clock

 Image is a page from Psalms: chapters 138 &139

Ah, Keeper of Time’s sun and sorrow clock

You plan and tend to each, our numbered days

The wise man trusts You, Keeper, as he walks

With prayer-shod feet into Vast Unknown’s haze

We cannot clench within our keep the hour

Vainly we grasp to resurrect its dead

But Thou, oh hand of loving, holy power

Will not forsake us in its mile of dread

Ah, Keeper of Time’s fear and faith-wrought fight

Its filigree falls beyond our control

Yet nothing befalls man beyond Your sight

And with this promise we our fear console

Into Your hands, oh Keeper of Time’s clock

We commit all that we can never know

And as we yield to Thee each step we walk  

We cling to peace that only You bestow

As I write this my dad is having by-pass surgery so I am in an attitude of continuous prayer that God will guide the surgeon’s hands…

There are ten kids in my family so we set up a visiting schedule just so we don’t all come at once; yet, I know we are all there with him in prayer!
