A Psalm of Rest on a Snowy Day

As I gaze out on a sea of gray,

a wintry mix of ice, today,

I Praise our God, for all He's done,

His Blessings rich, on everyone.

I thank Him for a family,

for each one borne, a joy to me.

I thank Him for His faithfulness,

provision, love, togetherness.

I thank Him for healings, again & again,

The Word made flesh, Who took our pain,

Who, in His resurrection sure,

has washed us clean, and made us pure.

I thank Him for all He Is, Has Been,

& all He'll Be, in the unforeseen.

I thank Him for helping us draw near,

& vanquishing every source of fear!

I thank Him for safety, I dwell secure,

each test, with His Spirit's help, endure;

conquer every trial, every pain,

with strength, & hope, triumph again! 

As I rest in His grace, love & peace,

all striving thoughts I will release;

To Him who answers every prayer,

In everything, He's always there.

I thank You Father, once again,

My ever loving, faithful friend,

so glad that even in this storm,

all those I love are safe and warm.

Thank You My God, My King, Abba,

from my grateful heart, Todah Rabah!

In quiet Praise I'll rest, again,

with all my love, Amen, Amen!
