Canopy - fall

I look at the trees
and I can see
a wounded back against the bark
and Your arms as the branches,
unprotected,
spread out for me.

God, You are our canopy
You form loving arms
that reach out to me.
I walk through the beauty of these,
the color of the trees,
and know Your Love
that Your creation allows us to see
Jesus -
be my canopy.

I’m following the path
Your arching arms are leading me through;
knowing that it’s You.
The Son shows His colors
and we sense His Truth
that we bring only ourselves
to His banquet anew.
His bounty abounds above my head –
Jesus feed me and fall all about
as I treasure Your measure of Love poured out.

God, You are our canopy
You form loving arms
that reach out to me.
I walk through the beauty of these,
the color of the trees,
and know Your Love
that Your creation allows us to see
Jesus -
be my canopy.
