You Have Made Me Glad

 

You shaped each work of creation
With love in its design.
Some may not be “my cup of tea”,
While some are rare and fine.
 
The grand and great are hard to miss,
The simple things, less so.
Yet it’s often in the small things
Where Your greatest works show.
 
A simple bloom, tucked in the shade
In the back of the bed,
Until Your light touches its face
And it lifts up its head.
 
Just for that moment, in Your light,
I saw it shine with joy
And I, too, sang out with delight
That time cannot destroy.
 
I caught that moment years ago
And yet, even today,
It reminds me that Your sweet grace
Is always on display.
 
We simply need open our eyes,
And our hearts to Your grace,
To find there’s still joy and delight
That’s blooming every place.
 
Psalm 92:4
For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.
