All good things come from heaven above.

All Good Things

The morning sun, a golden scroll, The gentle rain that fills the bowl, The breath that fogs the chilly air, A simple,answered, whispered prayer. “Every good and perfect gift is from above,”the truth is told, A story in the heavens,waiting to unfold. (James 1:17)

The laughter of a child at play, The strength to face the coming day, The kindness in a stranger’s eye, The comfort when we weep and cry. The wisdom that begins with awe, The healing touch,the righteous law.

The love that binds two hearts as one, The hope that shines when day is done, The seed of faith,so small and deep, The promises He vows to keep. *“He who did not spare his own Son,but gave him up for us all—” This is the greatest gift,the answer to our call. (Romans 8:32)

The artist’s brush, the poet’s word, The sweetest melody ever heard, The scientist’s quest to understand The fingerprints of God’s great hand.

So let us not boast, as if our own hand Fashioned the beauty of the land. But with open hands and grateful heart, Receive the grace He does impart.

For all good things, both great and small, The Giver of Life has given them all. A cascade of mercy,a fountain of love, *“Every good thing”comes from heaven above. (James 1:17)
