This poem was written in 1978, when I first became a Christian. |
"My Master's Peace" I think of You late at night. My thoughts are Yours in the morning light. I think of all Your works of art and feel the trembling within my heart. Your majestic hands created light; divided by dark, equaled night. You painted splendid skies for me and poured forth mystic, crystal seas. You sculptured mountains, upon high; for us to climb, my God and I. You laid the valleys down below, a place of rest for my wearied soul. You sowed the grass to cushion the ground and sprinkled sweet-fragranced flowers all around. You hung two lights up in the sky; one for day, the other night. Stars were placed there by your thoughtful Hand. The moon still shines upon the glittering sand. The sun still shines with radiance bright, upon the land; oh beauteous sight! Oh heavenly Father, Your goodness great! You didn't stop there, for You'd only begun to create! You made little winged creatures for the heavenly skies. They spread their wings in wondrous flight. You mystified the seas with shimmering fish. You filled my world with beauty such as this! You created animals to fill the land; then out of dust, You created man. You knew he needed a helper to suit his needs; so, from one of his ribs, You created me! Now, I know my purpose in life is to help mankind and lead them to Christ. To me, You offer Eternity. To You, I surrender all of me. Use me as a tool to create Your future "Master's Peace". Use me as a brush to paint Your Masterpiece... Copyright @ http://www.worldwebprodesign.com |
