Waves of Grace
The waves rippling over her toes she stared intently at the horizon
In watching one of the greatest shows the days setting of the sun
It's far reaching orange tempered rays and it's sheer immense size
Giving light to each one of our days, causing a squint in our eyes
And as people passed on by she stood firm in her admiring gaze
For she wasn't there to ask why but instead to give Him praise
And as the fresh sea breeze blew and her mind became so clear
This young lady already knew it was Him who was always near
And as the sun would finally disappear a subtle glow would remain
Lighting a sky that was seen so clearly to be expressing His Reign
Each wave receding more as the baby gulls would rummage on cue
Oh Lord what does this life have in store the sky turning a dark blue
Turning towards a well lite boardwalk she began making her way
Yet continuing in her talk and just thanking Him for the whole day
In returning to her place that she was gone no one barely knew
That's how it is with God's Grace and those who prayed for you
