He Will Guide the Future as He Has the Past

With hands of love, so tender and vast,

He guides the future as He has the past.

A Father divine, with mercy unfurled,

Shielding His children from the storms of the world.


Through valleys shadowed, dark and deep,

His watchful eyes never cease to keep.

Protecting His own from every snare,

An eternal guardian, always there.


He blesses abundantly, meeting each need,

Planting hope’s seeds where His children plead.

When paths seem dim and trials oppress,

His light shines through with loving caress.


From dangers unseen, He pulls us near,

Dispelling every doubt, quelling each fear.

A supernal power, majestic and kind,

In His embrace, solace we find.


Through winds that howl and tempests that rage,

His promises steady, His word our stage.

The future unknown may seem vast and grim,

Yet we rest assured, trusting in Him.


For His love is eternal, steadfast, and true,

A beacon of hope in all that we do.

With hearts full of faith, we boldly cast,

Our trust in Him, as He guides the future as He has the past.

A Song of Gratitude and Praise

O Lord, my God, how great Thou art,

From morning’s dawn to night’s last spark.

The world declares Thy matchless might,

In stars that glimmer, in skies alight.


For life’s first breath and beating heart,

For love that binds, though we're apart.

For hands to serve, for feet to roam,

For earth beneath, and heaven, my home.


The rivers sing; the mountains cry,

Their voices lift to pierce the sky.

The flowers bloom, the oceans roar,

All testify of Thee and more.


In joy and sorrow, peace and strife,

Thou art the giver of all life.

For daily bread, for trials too,

Each moment draws me nearer You.


For friendships dear, for family’s care,

For answered prayers, and those still there.

For hope that shines when shadows fall,

Thy grace sustains and blesses all.


O let my heart, in humble tone,

Lift up its thanks before Thy throne.

Forever grateful, Lord, I'll raise

A ceaseless song of love and praise.


Amen.
