O God, Who made the universe, the land, the sky, the sea
You show me that You daily love and care for even me.
Why, just last month when everything seemed, more than I could bear,
No supper made, not even planned, yet You showed how much You care.
When I got home, to my delight, I found a pizza waiting there!
The other day when I felt so sad, and tried not to let others read it.
You sent me that unexpected hug because You knew how much I would need it!
Remember when I yelled at Dave, and I thought my heart would break in two?
So lonely I felt that Sunday in church; then the message was on, “How Much God Loves You!”
It seemed like something I’ve always known, at least in my head, that You care.
Yet often my heart seems to forget, that You’ve numbered every hair!
Why, even today, when my ‘world’ seemed so black, yes, even my very soul
You sent me this verse to remind me again, that You are still in control!
I want to tell You how much I love the ‘little things’ that You do
To lift me up, to cheer my heart and remind me, that You’re “You!”
Dear Father, though at times my life seems full of such complexities
Your constant reassurance, is sure to bring me to my knees,
To praise You, God, because You love, and care so much – for even me.
