On this wild and wooly Canadian winter morning...
a love song!
Sweet and sobering Psalm 25 helped inspire this poem.
The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him,
Ps.25:14
What wondrous reason to rejoice
Hope sets my heart ablaze
And beckons me to lift my voice
In hymns of gladdest praise
What awed expectation holds dear
Which He reveals to all who fear
What countless reasons to be glad
In spite of sorrow’s woe
Because of the sorrow God had
Because He loves me/us so
He, whose love is mighty to save
Set my captive soul free
From the wages of sin; He gave
His Son to ransom me
The blood of Jesus washed away
Sin’s curse; nothing else could
Now each day grants a chance to pay
My debt of gratitude
…with joy and hope's trust-worthy praise
Where endless reasons brim
To live a worship hymn
...and never let love's gladness cease
Through wayward wish or whim
To all who trust in Him

may all the earth be filled with His glory.
Amen and amen.
Due to the gale more birds are opting for ground-cover today😂😅
