Dear child, your life’s a wondrous mist,
a vapor breathed by God.
But lest you think of self too much,
He likewise made the cod.
Now I am not suggesting that
we’re imaged with the fish,
But in your quest to right all things,
be careful what you wish.
For when you say the future’s bleak,
your thinking’s become flawed;
when life must only go your way,
you’ve made yourself a god.

Written by: Peter P. Bilhorn 1886
I will sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ Who died for me;
How He left His home in glory
For the cross of Calvary.
Refrain:
Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ Who died for me,
Sing it with the saints in glory,
Gathered by the crystal sea.
I was lost, but Jesus found me,
Found the sheep that went astray,
Threw His loving arms around me,
Drew me back into His way.
I was bruised, but Jesus healed me,
Faint was I from many a fall,
Sight was gone, and fears possessed me,
But He freed me from them all.
Days of darkness still come o’er me,
Sorrow’s path I often tread,
But His presence still is with me;
By His guiding hand I’m led.
Soon He’ll come the Lord of glory,
Come the church His bride to claim,
And complete the wondrous story—
Come, Lord Jesus, come again!
He will keep me till the river
Rolls its waters at my feet;
Then He’ll bear me safely over,
Where the loved ones I shall meet.

Within each intricacy
And delicacy
This shell's, this snow crystal's
This web's, as lovely
His thought process; first worked through;
Traced back now by you.
Playful child's, for a creator!
Toddled once Earth too!

Daylight comes and daylight goes
Such a vision to the eye
Nighttime comes and darkness grows
Beneath a canopied sky
Moonlight casts a subtle glow
Shadows creep across the ground
Behold now this wondrous show
Stars twinkle without a sound
Right before a new day's born
Vivid colors running deep
Dawn awakens to the morn
As it puts the stars to sleep

One may not possess garden space
dwelling in a compacted place
But there’s something all can embrace
that’s the sky in glorious grace.
Look at clouds as they’re drifting by
painting their pictures way up high
Thrill to dance of birds on the wing
hark their melodic twittering.
There’s beauty in the rising sun
or sunset as the night’s begun
So do not fret o’er what was missed
for the sky is a wondrous gift.

“Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.” Psalms 72:18 of the King James Bible
Wondrous prayer moments are God’s great gift
propelling my heart for triumphant lift
with welcoming peace of divine leisure…
toward task-fulfillment midst time so swift
Finding wondrous joy in simple pleasure
like my child’s mirth that money can’t measure
prospers me with wellness and health-delight…
bringing sweet cheers marked by caring treasure.
Staying jubilant is my wondrous plight
trusting the Lord against gloominess’ blight
conquering selfishness and rudeness-clout…
such is daily goal for spiritual might.
Worshipping with wondrous gratitude shout
my vibrant faith in Christ overcomes doubt
even when guilt attacks to create rift…
still I worship, vanquishing haughty pout.

"this wondrous world"
splash my soul with healing waters
where tides run towards me
cover my flesh with soothing sands
where silk replenishes dryness
touch my heart with bright suns
where warmth cures everything
within this wondrous world
mind body soul simply align

This wondrous web of life bespeaks a true spiritual nature,
and is there for each of us by Almighty God’s own sacred,
heavenly plan in our times of happiness and strife, and do
know that it fortifies, both the mortal and mystical aspects
of our existence which define each of us as human beings
as we each progress onward throughout our lives by the
merciful grace and true eternal blessing of Almighty God.
Amen.

astonished fingertips
trace these patterns
worn into my skin
ornaments of age,
as cobblestones from
medieval towns persist
even as skyscrapers
push at their edges
is there some wisdom
I do not know
that hides in these lines,
waiting for release
will I be grey
before these creases
give up their mysteries
or will my deafened ears
miss those whispered secrets
old women share
with a mischievous smile

Wondrous
Blest Spring bursts out
Glowing h o p e radiance
To showcase buds for blossoms’ bliss
Now readying earth toward new life sprouts
Midst welcome chorale of song birds
Praising GOD* Who starts all
Great beginnings
Wondrous.
*Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

I feel a wondrous day beginning
Even though it’s yet unseen
I feel a wondrous light approaching
Even through the night’s dark screen
I see Yehovah’s hand fulfilling
All the prophets said would be
I feel His joy within me growing
Thinking of eternity
I feel a peace past understanding
Even when my life goes wrong
I feel His presence gently guiding
Through the darkness to the dawn
I feel anticipation filling
All my heart with songs to sing
Behold, great deeds of Yah are coming
Greater than I’ve ever seen
I feel a flame within me burning
Hope’s bright flame that never dies
I hear my Master–He is nearing
Unto Him I lift my eyes
I hear a prophet’s voice proclaiming
“Make ye straight Yehovah’s way”
I hear a watchman’s trumpet blowing
Calling back the ones who stray
I hear a great commission calling
Stirring us to spread good news
I hear Him say, “Behold, I’m coming”
Are you His? It’s time to choose
I hear Yehovah’s voice declaring
“Call to me, great things I’ll show”
So I call out; Yah keeps revealing
Wonders–more than I could know
