All the Time
God is good, God is great.
He puts breakfast, lunch, and dinner upon my plate.
He gives light to my eyes, so they may reflect upon the beauty of the world he did create.
He electrifies my heart, while filling my lungs with the air of his grace.
He strengthens my legs, so I may walk, and stand, after kneeling to pray.
He blesses my arms to hold family, protect, and create.
He bequeath endowment to my loins to procreate.
Through his mercy, I am allowed to father, to watch over and educate.
His infinite wisdom, gives my mind knowledge, in order to demonstrate.
How he can make a blind man see, and the evil about face.
His promises, filled with health and long days.
And when your exhausted, those lone footprints are him, carrying you the rest of the way.
Through this life that has weary days, and wicked ways.
To the road of the straight and narrow, leading to the pearly gates.
