in this moment now i give You thanks
forgetting what is past
remember not the wounds of old
and to Your truths hold fast
for yesterday was full, so heavy
with some grief to spare
with worry and with waiting
and a blistering load of care
and tomorrow here it comes
with plenty problems of its own
full of sorrows without number
heavy as a sinking stone
but today in this bright window
i can feel in mine Your hand
i can feel Your Spirit moving
gentle passing of the sand
here today i see Your kindness
i have known it, sure before
and as everything around me fades
i see it here once more
i have witnessed perfect timing
though it upsets my desires
and i praise You for the no’s You gave
for shutting down the liars
and i praise You for Your master plan
confusing, it unfolds
here i lift up hands to honor
You, who my life firmly holds
for You chose this tiny instant
for the wisp of my short span
approved the entry of each heartache
every joy, in You began
so i’d observe Your simple beauty
perfect love as strong as gentle
feel Your fingers on my clay
and know the peace that’s transcendental
storm has passed and storm is coming
though horizon may be black
today i see through all the lies
and there is nothing that i lack
