God's Presence

A great wave rises from the deep onto land,
Washing away the scratches out of the sand;
Dissolved forever in the great sea of peace,
My cares and worries and fears will cease;
The blessed blackness of the quiet night,
Blankets the madness of day from my sight;
Such a hectic pace of going through the day,
Travel in traffic and city life fading away;
Looking up to see God's glory in the sky,
Blotting out the weary day that gone awry;
I see only the greatness what God has done,
Think that He even sacrificed His only Son;
As a burst of sunshine brings a joyful glow,
Flowing blessings onto me that He bestow;
God fills the gloomy corners of my head,
With a bright and joyful radiance instead;
A joyous fountain showers His love on me,
Causing the melancholy mood within to flee;
For God has turned this old world around,
Changed my frown to turn upside down.
