Take Time To Stand Amazed

Take time to stand amazed

And wonder at the Touch

That fills the spreadsheet of our days

With miracles and such

The Hand that cups the sky

Above dusk’s dimming earth

And draws blue shadows on the sigh

Of summer’s waning girth

Does not seal heaven’s bar

Nor hold man’s hope at bay

But pours upon the way we are

The light of a new day

Forbid that dumbly we

Should dash, wide-eyed and blind

Across the graves of What We See

Without one thought in mind

Of He who tends our need

Where seasons bleed and fall

As blooming plume burgeons with seed

Of morrow’s miracle

Take time to bow awestruck

Before the God of grace

Who grants us more than Chance or Luck

With which to run life’s race

The LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.
 Ps.147:11

 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. Ps.107:1

Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, 

For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

Give thanks to the God of gods, 

For His lovingkindness is everlasting.…Ps.136:1-2

 Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; 

make known among the nations what he has done.

1 Chron.16:8
