A Prayer-Poem of Hope and Praise



The magnitude of this morning's sunrise 
was impossible to capture in the lens of a camera...

A little like God's goodness and love 
are impossible to capture in
the lines of a poem!

Dear Heavenly Father,
A prayer-poem of hope and praise!

From strength to strength in You
Sweet consolation this
Whatever valley we pass through
Whatever grief afflicts
Whatever tries joy’s cup
Whatever storm we face
From strength to strength, You bear us up
By your sufficient grace
Where nothing in this world
Transcends Your love so true
Like a majestic Light unfurled
To guide us home to You

Psalm 84:5-7
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
    whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
    they make it a place of springs;
    the autumn rains also cover it with pools.[d]
They go from strength to strength,
    till each appears before God in Zion.
