The Good Day God Has Given


Why not wake with joy to greet
The good day God has given?
Like Mourning Doves and Cardinals
Each with a song from Heaven

Red winged blackbirds in the field
The swallow on her nest
Each sing with their own special voice
As God has chosen best

And once the hours have passed and they
Towards home begin their flight
They find a place to rest and sleep
In their good Maker’s care all night!

This is the day that the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 ESV

A Time For us to Sing

To every bird God gives a voice
And a time to sing out strong
Like shepherds who gave shouts of praise
And Mary gave her song

The mockingbird sings bright and clear
The sparrow simply cheeps
And crows caw loudly in the streets
While the silent owl sleeps

And above us all there stands the One
Who gives us each our parts
A time for each of us to sing
With humble joyful hearts


The flowers appear on the earth,
the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove
is heard in our land.
Song of Solomon 2:12 ESV

The Swallow’s Nest

The swallow’s nest was hidden
Up above the bales of hay
And as I opened up the door
She quickly swooped away

She thinks it is not possible
That I could be her friend
Though it was I who built this barn
Where each Spring she comes again

And can’t believe her little ones
Are safe when I draw near
Nor knows I listen with a smile
When I their voices hear

Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds
Luke 12:24 NKJV
