A PERFECT DAY
Today seems like a perfect day, warm and sunny too,
October’s arrival like some jewel precious right through,
Extending summer’s virtues a few more delightful days,
So on this Sunday morning I will sing God a song of praise.
I thank Thee for the sun’s warm rays that gives us light,
And the changing of the trees colours to fill us with delight,
The sounds of birds at the feeder as they seem to praise Thee,
And the dancing bejewelled lake as the breeze blows free.
I thank the for the vivid blue sky with not one cloud in sight,
And the sacred silence today and so all nature in her way might
Worship Thee and make this Sabbath just a very special day
That for a long time in my heart and mind will blissfully stay.
I thank Thee for the Saviour and His sacrifice pure and divine,
Who willingly suffered for all mankind even a soul like mine,
Today is conference and I know that I will sweetly hear
The truth made manifest as we hear the messages loud and clear.
I thank Thee for love of husband, children, grandchildren too,
The eternal bond of love that lasts this life and eternity through,
That families can be together in a glorious heaven up above,
And the strength that gives us as we strive for Thy perfect love.
I look again at the sky, birds, trees and the dancing lake
And absorb the great beauty there and pray I will never take
This for granted but show my gratitude every day I live
For all the blessing of life and the great love you freely give.
