As We Look Up...

Do you ever visualize, when you pray before you start your day; 
as from our feeble grasp to His all-encompassing arms 
we relinquish our cares, both of the known and the unknown,
do you ever visualize as we look up 
God, so rich in mercy reaches down?!
Oh, how I LOVE Him! 


From the barely breathed beginnings on the threshold of new day
How sweet to rest our head upon God’s shoulder as we pray
What tender comfort buoys us toward the great unknown
As we look up and sense love’s immense mercy reaching down

How sweet to picture Jesus, with hands disfigured with scars
Brushing away the tears that wash our cheeks like falling stars
And visualize, as we look up, God’s everlasting love
Is reaching down to remind us that His grace is enough

 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, 
but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!
Romans 8:15
