When He is your Father
And you come to a goodbye,
Lift your soul to Him
And say,
“Thank you.”

If you feel separation and grief,
Lift your eyes to Him
And say
“Thank you”.

If you feel warmth and tenderness,
Lift your arms to Him
And say
“Thank you”.

If you feel bruised and broken down,
Lift your hate to Him
And say
“Thank you”.

If you feel icy and the sting from death,
Lift your heart to Him
And say
“Thank you”.

Because He is Love,
And the Creator,
The Peace Maker,
And The Redeemer
Sovereign over
Lost sparrows and lost sheep,
Lost coins and lost causes.
Lost years and lost loves,
Lost hearts and lost lives.

He is the
The Giver of Breath
And the Author of Hope
And the Collector and Keeper of Lost Things
Who eternally speaks:

“Behold- I make all things new.”
