A New Day Dawning
In the quiet time of early morn, I'm drawn to this place of tranquility.
When life demands more than I think can bear, I come to the water to be with Thee.
I can't comprehend all Your Reasons, for why things happen the way they do.
But I'm grateful You are with me, Lord, and I trust that You'll guide me and see me thru.
Some people see You in their churches and in the mighty mountains so high.
But I feel You most at the water's edge as the dawn of a new day draws nigh.
The majesty of the tree line against a misty morning sky.
The soaring of the water birds, gliding so gracefully, oh so high.
The plop of your fishes, forming echoing circles in the water that now is so still.
All remind me, Dear Lord, to trust in Your Love and bow to Wisdom of Your Great Will.
As I sit along this quiet bank and observe the perfection and balance of even Your tiniest living things.
I wonder anew at the complexity of Your plans and know I can wait, Lord, for what Your tomorrow brings.
The mysterious balance of nature reminds me of the Power of Your Great Hand.
And I know, by my faith, You abide with me even when events happen that I don't understand.
I feel Your blessings continue, Lord, in this peaceful quiet place, my faith is refreshed as always as Your wondrous creations I see.
And I marvel, again, at Your Grand Scheme of things, once more trusting Your purpose for even me.
