WORSHIP
I worship you Lord
When the day is bright
The earth in its splendor
I enjoy with delight.
The gift of days
Beyond three score and ten
Are cherished each morn
Again and again.
I worship you Lord
In the great congregation
When music swells
In grand adoration.
I echo the artistry
Of composer and pen
And join in your praise
With a fervent "Amen."
I worship you Lord
When in deep trouble
You prune my way
Of wood, hay and stubble.
Your Spirit leads to a higher path
Your Word abides as rod and staff.
I worship you Lord
when full of years
Staggered by loss, nagged by fears
I bow beneath your mighty hand
Not seeing, yet believing
That your plan
Is blessing of
The highest degree.
My Lord and my God
I worship thee.
~ Carolyn Ruth Bouman, 1998
