Such early morning thoughts ... one early morning in May ...

in this early morning hour

as sleep does not come

and my mind is full of thoughts

a song comes to mind - an old one

How Great thou art

and the chorus runs through my mind

then sings my soul   

My Saviour God to Thee

How great Thou Art

 

Oh my soul

Sing!

Sing of the great goodness of the LORD

He has done great things

stop to recall them

and tell them to your children, and their children

write it on your doorposts

The Lord your God is One.

Love Him with all your heart

and soul

Mind

and strength.

Yearn for Him

through every circumstance of every day

whether it is planned or not planned

and whether we perceive it as good or not

Yearn

Draw Near

Recall and praise.

Oh God - my God

Help me to never forget.

What you ahve done for me.

You God - are my Faithful Father

Jesus is our Redeemer and Saviour

and Holy Spirit you live within me ~ the promised gift

I praise you because of all you have done, are doing and will do in the future

I witness your mighty hand

through creation and in the stillness of the morning

still 

and yet full of praise

as the sun rises to a brilliant glow

I hear creation waking up in praise

you said that if we didn't praise 

even the rocks would cry out

So creation is doing what it was created to do.

They praise you.

I praise you - Oh my LORD and My God.

Bless the LORD oh my soul

and all that is within me

Bless your Holy Name

Even in these days

of rest and unrest 

of clear calendars and wide open date books

of quiet meals in a quiet home

These days of restrictions and compliance

there is still much to be thankful for

May I never forget this as it is truly easier to whine some days

Bless the LORD oh my soul

and all that is within me

Bless your Holy Name
