Connie Marcum Wong Poet Rhyme

Psalms At Sea

I sing praises to you under moon's watchful eye
As the ocean waves calm above from the deep
and You transform gusty winds into soft breezes.
With your blessed protection I am able to sleep.

I am bathed in your peaceful tranquility my Lord
As my prayers ascend to your heavenly realm. 
You are the Divine master of my wayward boat
as you guide me to shore when you take the helm.

I know you will always send Angel's to rescue me
Should my boat run aground on sharp rocks below.
They will lovingly guard me and see me safely home.
I'll sing psalms in praises dearest Lord, wherever I go.

CayCay Godwin September 18, 2019 at 6:35 PM I just posted for the 'grateful' contest using an ocean theme. This is lovely, I'd love to print it out for my 'uplifting and affirming' bulletin board by my desk. Again, your muse has really been profoundly 'on' these past few months - such divine writes have come from you to awe us all. YOU ARE A BLESSING. Love ... CayCay (soupmail)
