A Day

A Day

I would like to speak of a day,
That had neither work nor play.
And it was such a joyful place
Filled with mercy and grace.
Where peace filled the air
I had not a worry or care.

As I sat upon a grassy knoll
Calm caressed my soul.
The warm sun was high
In the bright blue sky.
A gentle breeze kissed my cheek
And I heard the laughter of a creek.

As I smelled the flowers on its banks,
From deep within I gave God thanks.
In the trees I heard the song birds sing
Praise and glory to our Lord God and King.
The winds made the pine trees sway
Dancing in the love of this wonderful day.

In this lovely day neither hot nor cold.
I was filled with awe of God great and bold.
I was surrounded by His wondrous love
Cradled in the arms of God above.
The Creator of all had made this day for me,
That a glimpse of His love I could see.

Because His Son has set me free,
Each day that joyous day lives in me.
And one day when I’m called home,
I will kneel before His loving throne.
