EVENING SONG

The Evening Song.

I stepped outside about 4:30 pm today. It had been pouring rain all afternoon and had just slackened up slightly.  Even in the gathering gloom, with little light left and dark clouds overhead, I heard it!  Hear what you ask?  Why, it was, “The Evening Song.!”

My heart immediately lifted, not that I was down, not at all! It just leapt with joy to hear the sound and began to sing its own evening song. Come and sing an Evening Song!

The Evening Song.

The day it is done

And evening has come

It’s the time of the evening song

Won’t you come and sing along?

The birds lift their voice in Cheerful Praise

Thanking God for keeping them all their days.

In the shadows of the coming night

They know HE alone gives food and Life and Light.

Joining with Creation’s happy throng

My heart burst forth in joyful song

To God, My Saviour, Lord and King

I laugh and shout, Bow and Sing!

While evening shadows grow long

I offer up to You my Evening Song

For You Alone are my Everything

Your Love makes my heart to soar and sing.

You Alone are worthy! You Alone!

You Alone are Faithful You Alone!

You Alone are True, You Alone.

You Alone are my life’s Cornerstone!

You Alone Deserve all my Praise

For You Alone give meaning to my days

You Alone are Lovely and In You

I find My Home. In You Alone.

In YOU ALONE.
