Grateful Hearts

Grateful Hearts


       You awaken us in the morning, with the warmth of sun upon our face.
                      When twilight turns and gothic shadows fall,
           You illuminate the night, with stars to guide us with your grace.

                Lord we are grateful, for the beauty that surrounds us, 
                    from bosky woods to meadows lush and sweet,
       to spiraling mountains, fields of grain and waving heads of wheat.

             You bless us with our daily bread which we are thankful for,
                     Our table never lacking, of hearty, healthy fare;
                   We gather together, and bow our heads and share.

                  Lord you are beside us, as we go about our day,
          You protect us from the wrath of fear, struggle and strife,
         We ask for your continued guidance, as we go through life.

       You are our shield, our protector, when adversity comes our way,
                We know you are listening, as we humbly pray~
                                  With Grateful Hearts

My dear friend, your wonderful verses speak of truth and blessed light. Of love and God's infinite mercy. That the only saving grace in this dark and evil world is by way of divinely gifted salvation. And with that comes wonderful and needed blessings. A fav, God bless.
