it's a beautiful day

it's a beautiful day

passing life by,

looking, but not seeing.

hearing, but not listening.

touching, but not feeling.

but today, gently and tenderly

You reminded me

those clear skies

the soft hue of powder blue

that glorious warmth

poured out on my back

i didn't pause

but i felt Your hand

i walked with You today
in the secret garden

and i basked

in the warmth of love

of satisfaction

of hope

and strength

i smiled

resting my gaze on the clouds afar

the skies abundant

not a speck of grey

not a trace of rain

truly cherished

so quenches the tired soul

the quiet during the storm
the peace during the rain
the quiet after the storm
the peace after the rain

the beautiful skies

they bring me hope

of Your unfailing love

a reminder of His tender love
to keep my eyes heavenward
