Blessings
How earnest are the prayers we pray for guidance day by day
How truthful is our willingness to follow in the Way
That God will truly lead us when we give our all to Him
And count our many blessings naming everyone of them
Like for the very breath we breathe that fills our lungs with air
And for each beating of our heart that shows the Father's care
To give to us His rhythm whether thinking it or not
Depending not on whether we remembered or forgot
To plan how like our organs it should do the work it does
The work that is most vital as each one fulfills their trust
To keep our life in balance from each atom to the cell
That knows from it's Creator how to live and function well
And then there are those parts of us that volunteer their time
Assisting as instructed without rhythm to their rhyme
“The hand that plans its work to do knows when to do it best
And when it need not do the work takes time to be at rest”
But then there is another that works both in time and place
As sympathetic to our needs without a mindful pace
And also when we want it to be thoughtful of the way
We think and plan our next approach to meet out all our day
With all the other blessings God's provided for our good
By giving us the health we have in truth we never could
If not for how He's made us and the way He makes us still
In new ways every morning when we give to Him our will
And listen for instruction looking in the Word He gave
That Word that soon will raise those who knew of His will to save
And lived to give Him glory for the good things He has done
Especially the best of all that came through Christ the Son
That blessing of salvation here for all who want to be
Recorded in the books above where all the worlds can see
How they who truly loved Him even when all seemed so wrong
Believing through their living faith that it would not be long
Before the greatest blessing will appear before their eyes
And to the clouds of glory with their angels they will rise
To feel the arms of Jesus and to touch His loving face
The greatest of our blessings bound by love and saved by grace
Acts 15:11; Ephesians 2:1-10
