My House Is Just a Little House

My house is just a little house,
But God knows where I live.
Such blessings He bestows on me;
Abundantly He gives.
And oh, I love my little house!
It is so cozy-warm,
With God's angels watching o'er it
To keep me safe from harm.
I do praise God, yes, each mealtime
Because my table's spread;
I give to Him my gratitude
For gifts of daily bread.
The clock ticks away the hours,
I hear the cricket's song,
My heart is oh, so happy -
I praise God all day long.

Now I shall put the kettle on
And make a pot of tea;
I'll go and ask some neighbors in
To share it all with me.
I take joy in the little things
That come with each new day -
The sunshine, bird songs and rainbows -
And so I kneel to pray.
Such blessings He bestows on me;
Abundantly He gives.
My house is just a little house,
But God knows where I live.

~ Mary E. Herrington

As for me and my
household, we will
serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15
