I’ve been under the waves
Straining to swim
Fighting the current
And reaching to win.
Some days I grow weary
My vision grows dim
But you are my eyes, Lord
When there’s turmoil within.
Your mercies don’t cease
They’re new at days dawn
What will the tide bring
When I can’t carry on?
There’s always some hope
There’s always some joy
For Your gifts are sweet grace
Amidst the world’s noise.
I’ve been under the waves
Straining to swim
But every morning there’s news
That Your love always wins. ❤

Show Us Every Morning…
“Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:21-23
“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.”
Psalm 143:8

I love to go to the beach after a big storm–I may find a special worn shell, a smooth piece of driftwood…a dead whale, sea bird, any kind of strange thing….
Love your poem.
And He gives a song in the night as well.
bless you!
