The Lord of Harvest
God sends the rain and sunshine
And makes the breezes blow;
He sends the warmth of summer
To make the harvest grow.
He takes the seeds we’ve planted
Across a ready field
And makes them grow and flourish
To give a hearty yield.
Then in the time of harvest,
He sends our daily bread,
Providing in His goodness
For all the days ahead.
We celebrate with gladness
As thankful hearts we raise
To bless the Lord of harvest
In songs of grateful praise.

Morning Praise
The sun is waking up again
To make the morning bright
The Lord has kept His promises
And watched me through the night
Another day is opening
To love and serve the Lord
To live for Him with every breath
He purchased and restored
Lord, help me greet the breaking dawn
With courage, hope, and praise
For You will guide the day to come
As all my former days
Christina Joy Hommes
Psalm 19
When people look at nature,
They see what God has made –
His goodness and His glory
Are everywhere displayed.
When people read the Bible,
They know what God has said –
His love and His salvation
Are shown in what they’ve read.
When people watch God’s children,
They view what God has done –
His care and grace and power
Are seen in battles won.
Lord, help me be a witness
In all I do and say,
That through my life Your glory
Might shine from day to day.

Spring Awakes
While Spring is just awaking
Above the frozen ground
And leaves are slightly breaking
Through buds that kept them bound
While birds are all returning
To sing their happy songs
The earth is gently turning
To where its course belongs
While flower bulbs are showing
Their green above the earth
And everything is growing
To offer hope’s rebirth
Our hearts can join the praises
And lift a joyful song
Which all creation raises
To God so wise and strong
Let’s take some time renewing
Our hope and joy in God
In faith and love reviewing
His beauty spread abroad

Creation Speaks
Every drop of water, every grain of sand,
Every ray of sunshine shows God’s mighty hand.
Every cricket’s chirping, every icicle,
Everything around us shows He’s beautiful.
Every cloud and rainbow, every butterfly,
Every tree and flower sings to God on high.
Every tiny creature, every mountain peak,
Everything around us leads our hearts to seek
One who formed each snowflake, made each fingerprint.
Mighty yet so tender – this is His imprint.
