God’s Tender Mercies

God’s tender mercies can be found
When our emotions are tightly wound.
A special sign to show He knows and He cares
That He is with us and our troubles He bares.
A favorite Hymn, words in a talk.
Witness to us in whose footsteps we walk.
We feel as though with God our spirit mingles
We are left in awe with loving tingles.

Our thoughts provide a place to grow.
Where new enlightenment can flow.
Thus, we store thoughts for good decisions,
And show gratitude for those guided actions.
We ponder the meaning of life in our prayers.
And gain new perspective from one who cares.
We feel as though with God our spirit mingles
We feel highly held by wings of eagles.

The future holds great mysteries.
We have potential and destinies.
A noble lasting new-found birth.
We will have added glory beyond our worth.
In celestial mansions, we will live.
Dwelling close to Him... who’s Son He did give.
Then we’ll know that with God our spirit mingles
We’ll see we are surrounded by His angels.
