Everything that has Breath...

"Let everything that has breath
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
Psalm 150:6
NKJV

"Everyday Praises"

 

 



In McDonald's

and in the park

In the morning

and in the dark.

In the hospital

and in the store

In the needy

and in the more.

In the sunshine

and in the rain

In the laughter

and in the pain.

For snowflakes

and rainbows

For fingers

and toes.

For gardens

and beaches

For Whip Cream

and peaches.

For family and friends

For tears that are shed

For getting up mornings

and goings to bed.

For saying I'm sorry

and hearing it too

For friendships I treasure

and those I adieu!

For grace to forgive

And receive it as well

For ears that are tickled

With stories I tell.

For seasons that change

And things that do not

For wisdom to seek You

In spite of the what.

For questions I ask

And the answers You give

For prayers that are prayed

Every moment I live.

For the millions of ways

You have shown me Your love

You have covered me

Over with gifts from above.

For babies

I bounced upon my knee

For the beautiful world

You have given for free.

Like a Father who loves me

You dote on your child

I see You all over

In tears and in smiles.

Amazed by Your grace

I'm in love with Your face

You are the wonder

of all that I see.

For the heaven You purchased

With the blood of the Lamb

For everything, Father,

I thank you. Amen!
