When in my youth, I held un-trained thoughts
about God…and where His glory is seen.
I felt He dwelled in the moments of worship & honor
but “left” in the times in-between.
Oh, little did I know…for it took time to grow
while God patiently and fully revealed,
That He was there in my afflictions…showing His mercy
whether or not I was healed.
He was there in my distress, to show I was blessed
in the pain that so many never knew.
But He bonded me to Him and put me back together
and now I’m stuck on His glory like glue.
He was there in my failures when I was so fragile
and disappointed at what came to be;
For He wiped all the tears that reminded me I’m human
and need a Savior for each day I see.
He was there in the shortages, when my needs were bigger
than all the resources found in my home.
For in faith I cried out and my Father delivered
to show the power that only He owns.
Though I saw God and sought Him in the daylight hours
with great stories of His marvelous ways,
He surprised me at midnight, so I worshiped in darkness
at my great Sovereign King on display.

Praise the LORD!
Praise, O servants of the LORD,
Praise the name of the LORD!
Blessed be the name of the LORD
From this time forth and forevermore!
From the rising of the sun to its going down
The LORD’s name is to be praised.
The LORD is high above all nations,
His glory above the heavens.
Who is like the LORD our God,
Who dwells on high,
Who humbles Himself to behold
The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?
He raises the poor out of the dust,
And lifts the needy out of the ash heap,
Psalm 113:1-7 NKJV
