Lake McConaughy, Ogallala, Nebraska
When at the end of the day
the sun sets and I watch
amazed as it slowly sinks
lower in the skies
as if bowing to its creator,
warm rays kissing rippled waters
my reverent heart too, bows to His greatness and power
and I marvel at the things He instills into my searching soul
the ways He is teaching me, helping me
through the storms in life,
sustaining me, lifting me,
encouraging me, strengthening me.
When I am weak, though I fail, I will not fall.
He’s there, and I rest assured
that though I know not
what a new tomorrow brings
I know He shelters me in His arms of grace.
