A Rare and Gleaming God-send; Today

Wild flowers drive wonder wild with worship...or, is it worship wild with wonder?? Thank-you, thank-you!!Dear God and dear property-owner 💖🙏 On my way home from lunch with my mother-in-law todayI stopped at this field, which I glimpsed as we 'flew' by yesterday... Nothing can steal the thunder of wonder awakened byGod’s word and handiwork bursting with earnest ‘Here AM I’ A rare and gleaming God-send rends the air and wends its wayTo where we are to raise the bar of recompense's preyWhere what is past is cast in Bygone’s everlasting wakeWhere every morn mercy reborn grants every breath we takeWhere beckoning, response and reckoning subtly becomeWithout a shadow of a doubt, a lifetime’s sacred sum Ah, what more can we ask for than the anchor of the soulThan God’s unreserved fervency of love enough for allThan knowing He is able; faith’s foothold stable, secureIn awesome promises He gave to stave the Tempter’s lureHe leads us, not into temptation but to holinessGuiding the meek and seeking into paths of righteousness Nothing can steal the thunder of wonder awakened byGod’s word and handiwork bursting with earnest ‘Here AM I’God, give us ears to hear till it is You for which we yearnAnd it is You that others see through faith’s humble returnWhere a great cloud of witnesses lavishes sky and sodAnd we, once proud have bowed in eternal worship to God A rare and gleaming God-send rends the air and wends its wayTo where we are; let’s raise the bar of recompense TodayFor, what is past is cast in Bygone’s everlasting wakeBut, every morn mercy reborn grants every breath we takeWhere beckoning, response and reckoning subtly becomeWithout a shadow of a doubt, true worship’s sacred sum © Janet Martin Yesterday our worship service was opened with Psalm 89 Here are a few glorious excerpts- 11 The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it... 14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you. 15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, Lord. 16 They rejoice in your name all day long; they celebrate your righteousness. 17 For you are their glory and strength, and by your favor you exalt our horn.[] 18 Indeed, our shield[] belongs to the Lord, our king to the Holy One of Israel.
