Blessings

by John Thorne © 2012

When I look to the heavens on nights crisp and clear
God's wondrous universe fills me with fear
For the Lord God created the earth and the sky
And all of the creatures that walk, swim and fly

The natural beauty I see on life's way
Give me joy in abundance with each waking day
This world is a blessing and life is a gift
And the knowledge God loves me gives me a lift

My friends and my family bring me great joy
The blessing of children each girl and each boy
With all of these blessings my faith should be strong
But it's easy to falter, I must not go wrong

My conscience will tell me what's wrong and what's right
But I will be tempted each day and each night
Commandments were given to show me the way
I must pray for guidance and try not to stray

So why do I struggle it should be a breeze
I need to thank God and spend time on my knees
Life's full of excitement with so much to do
My time for prayer can end up in a queue

My life on this earth is really a test
I need strength to win and must give it my best
My prize waits in heaven on God's right hand
At peace with the angels in God's promised land
