On God's Shore
The Wonder of It All
I stand in awe before you, Lord
As I watch my child at play.
How precious is each action
And each each word I hear him say.
I know that as You look down on us
We are so very small.
Yet,You know each tiny grain of sand
And by name you know us all!
Lord, though my child seems small to me
As he stands upon your shore,
I know that were he ten feel tall-
You could not love him more.
I cannot even fathom Lord,
How great your love must be
But I know that it is greater still
Than the vastness of your sea.
I stand in humble reverence Lord
As I watch my child in play
And know that you watch over me
In much the self same way!
And so I say a prayer of thanks
Dear Lord of earth and sea
For all the loving care you give
To both my child and me.
Thena
