Witnesses of God's Faithfulness


A gorgeous autumn Monday morning!


When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, 
“Never again will I curse the ground because of man, 
even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. 
And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done. 
"As long as the earth endures, 
seedtime and harvest, 
cold and heat, 
summer and winter, 
day and night 
will never cease." 
Gen.8:21-22




God’s mercy melts night’s crepuscule, 
His glory rends the raven tulle 
Where push and pull of Duty’s Plow 
Resumes its charge of Here and Now 

Our hands were made to work, it seems 
Our hearts are weighed with hopes and dreams 
Our days are numbered, none can sway 
The will of He who grants each day 

Our lives are cupped in Perfect Love 
God’s grace supplies more than enough 
To author joy no matter what 
May vex the barriers of thought 

God’s power is in full control 
In spite of time’s tumultuous toll 
To prove the intent of the heart 
So selfish from the very start 

God’s Son died to birth Living Hope 
Salvation is man’s means to cope 
With suffering; humility 
Does not dispute God’s deity  

His faithfulness fuels dawn’s gold 
That we, altogether behold 
Whether we believe or deny 
The Creator of earth and sky 

God’s mercy metes another day 
Ah, will we seize it yet not pray? 
Where we are all partakers of 
His kindness, compassion and love
