In the folds of every day -
To pay homage to Lord Jesus
Who befriends your weary way;
It will be a golden moment
Of remembrance and prayer
And make better - in its passing -
Every love you have to share.
Just a moment of devotion
To show honor to the Lord
And to worship Him, in glory,
For His blessings and rewards;
Just a fleeting, faithful moment,
He will gild with lasting gold
And include it in His judgement
Of your worthiness to soul.
A change is taking place,
And everywhere the signs appear
Of Fall's approaching face.
The birds begin their southward flight
That takes them far away,
And in their plaintive song and cry
A fond goodbye they say.
A season dies, a new one's born
Like night gives way to day.
Such is the wondrous work of God
In His own chosen way.
Of all beauty that meets the eye
Designed the splendor of each flower
And the bright new morning sky.
Each snowflake is so different,
Not one of them the same;
The stars that shine so brightly,
He knows each one of them by name.
His gracious hand is evident
In each colorful Autumn scene.
The nighttime sky is His canvas,
A backdrop that's so peaceful and serene.
We feel the warmth of His smile
In each golden ray of sun;
The love from His gracious Spirit
Touches the lives of everyone.
He gives joy and brilliance to our days
When each sunrise comes anew;
Such wonder and majesty fill this world,
This superb Artist, my God, is You.
And store them in my mind,
To warm me during Winter's reign
When nature proves unkind.
Then I remember sunshine,
The Autumn rich with gold,
And tawny fields a-flower
With wonders quite untold.
My thoughts will ease the moments
When in reverie I dwell,
And linger for the present
In some bright majestic dell.
