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.

His Favorite: Thoughts From the Back of a Motorcycle

Lord, what must Your 
Favorite color be?
I so often ponder that. 
For the wonderful world
You have made for mankind
Is a most exquisite habitat. 

Is your favorite color, cornflower blue,
Like the lovely fall skies above
Or the blue of the deep, dark
Ocean at noon, 
Or the pale eyes of the children you love?

Could your favorite color be 
The mid-summer green,
Of the mountains all covered in trees,
Or the deep, dark shadows cast in Fall,
When the colors change in the leaves?

Is pink the color that
Captured your heart, 
Like the horizon 
At the close of day,
Like the tiny flowers that 
Blanket the fields,
Where the breeze blows
And the butterflies play?

No matter the color,
That pleases you most, 
I am thankful for one and for all.
For Your radiant glory
Is abundantly seen,
Throughout this diversely, beautiful
Celestial ball!
