Lenten Reflection : A Sea of Praise

                               A Sea of Praise
Early morning time and the sun has kissed the sea
I look out in awe and wonder and can only think on Thee.
It didn't just willy-nilly happen without a Master plan
So perfect ,so fitting , a blueprint oh so grand !
Man You made in your image and in love bestowed a will
But knowing  without obeying You ,the Great Design would
Never be fullfilled.
As still today we get caught up in what the world can give
And then find out we're still not content , it happens every time.
The pleasure lasts just a minute,a day , a month or a year
Then we're off again on another quest to get something more
Knowing full well it isn't out there ,but maybe this time we'll win the war.
Gracious Lord ,You sent us Your Son Jesus to teach light from dark
To walk in love and gratitude ,and not spinning in want and worry
But trusting what we truly need will be given in time and Heavenly manner.
From the first day to the end there has and will be pain and trials to live,
But we have a God who came to earth to feel and suffer all that is
And He's always right beside us as He has felt the pain we feel ,
Our tears He cried , our pleas He made ,our sorrows He felt deep down
All human pain He went through ,but that we forget so often it seems .
We get drowned in all our own tragic Good Fridays and wrestle with the darkness
That the Easter Saturdays bring , Forgetting  the grace and victory of Easter Sunday
When the darkness once again turned to light .
Sin was dealt a final blow on a cross of simple wood .
Blood was shed ,a life was given , all in the name of love
Love and a future of promise for me ,little me .
Just love Me and know Me , Trust and Believe.
Do what's right ,know My heart , see Me in all people .
He's still on earth and He lives in what we do and say
God is as close as our breath and our heartbeat
He's in the sun that kissed the sea this morning
And He'll be in the stars and moon tonight
He'll be in the deer in the fields and the eagle that soars

The birds that fly and the buds that open.
Heaven and earth are full of His glory .Amen. Amem Amen !
