Worthy of Worship

Still, new each morning, mercy pours
until its seas immerse Infinity...
(different days, different colours,
Same Giver, same mercies)




For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father pities his children,
So the Lord pities those who fear Him.
Ps.103: 11-13

The above scripture is part of today's Daily Bread Devotion

The song below helps me to start the day off on the right note...
(the scripture and this song helped inspire today's poem)
We are so broken, our best so flawed, but we serve a great God..
compassionate and gracious,
    slow to anger, abounding in love.
He is worthy of all our praise!




He does not hold a grudge or keep account of sins confessed

About the stutters we entrust to Him in wordless prayers


He keeps His promises no matter what appears to be

Infinity, and sweep hope’s shores groaning with Eden’s curse

Where, by the sweat of our brow, we work our bread to win

Bore for our redemption, the punishment that brought us peace

Pray we forgive and forget in the name of Him, amen

Is patient with the way we are; sinners needing His grace



He sets us free, if we believe, from death and hell unfurled

Where we will see Him face to face, moved by love’s scars engraved

Look at the birds of the air; 
they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,
 and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. 
Are you not much more valuable than they?
Matt.6:26
