Where do I Praise God?

Some say church is the only place

Where I can lift God’s name in praise

Yet every day I feel His grace

And worship Him in many ways.

 

At rest outside, coffee in hand,

Trees, flowers, birds – His grand displays –

Remind me how His beauty spans;

My tears of joy to Him are raised.

 

While undertaking mundane tasks

Each gently folded towel betrays

My adoration quite unmasked;

I worship what my heart portrays.

 

As posting mail or buying food

Standing in line with long delays

I choose devotion’s attitude

A gift of time; my heart obeys.

 

On morning walk at shore or trail

Sunrise reveals first morning’s rays.

You are the air that I inhale

And fills my lungs throughout the day.

 

So worship You from start to end

To keep away temptation’s preys

And praise Your grace with thanks intend

‘Til sleep’s approach my lips will pray.
