Days End Declaration

At the end of the day,
When all is said and done
And I climb into bed for night’s rest,

I ponder the day
And events that it held
And count myself incredibly blessed.

My life isn’t perfect
Disappointments abound,
Failures around every turn.

Regardless of that
My God loves me so dear,
With steadfast love, that can never be earned.

His great love never ceases,
His mercies new every day,
It’s never dependent on me.

That’s why this imperfect child
Feels so wonderfully blessed,
Because He’s opened my eyes that I might see,

That though I might fall,
His love lifts me again,
Plants my feet on the Rock,that I might sing,

Of His love everlasting,
His faithfulness so true,
That no event of the day is too great for my King.

For I’m kept by His power 
And I’m filled with His love,
Trusting solely in His work on Calvary!

He endured the cross for you and me,
And I hold that truth dear to my heart,
No greater love has ever been shown!
I’ve taken solace in that from the start.
