What is man!

What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou visitest him? Psalm 8:4

LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him! Psalm 144:3

I look back at gone by years

when the Father took away my fears

He held my hand, kept me safe, dried my tears

through rough times and painful years.

Although I didn't always see things clear

I saw the narrow spiralling path near

Often my joy was mixed with tears

but God comforted me, He gave me peace

I see the ocean waters in clear blues

rolling pastures in colouring hues

the storms of life speeding by

and huge trees reaching for the sky

This all reflects the way of life

filled with struggle and strife

Perfection is every day's quest

we'll meet it halfways at its best

The horizon seems beyond my reach

I wish to fly above ocean's beach

spreading my wings to fly up high

could mean meeting JESUS in the sky

Awesome melodies capture my mind

now I can see, after I've been blind

I hear angels singing in wonderful harmony

I'll join in to praise God, who set me free
