Hallelujah - summer

Come out sun

from behind the clouds

come out voices

and sing loud

the soul rejoices

and can't be restrained

when He shows Himself

and we answer "Praise his Name"!

Hallelujah

you've saved us again

Hallelujah

Christ is redeemer

and friend!

Who God wants me to be - summer

I'm going to live a little longer

reach a little higher

come back a little stronger

be who God wants me to be

A Place of Peace - summer

the Son that radiates within

there is no end

no place to begin

He is in all

and through

His eternal voice of Love says

"I will never leave you".

Life sweeps past,

an icy blast,

of the world

and its cruelty

presenting itself

for each of us

differently.

But You are always here

resonant and true

Your eternal voice of Love says

"I will never leave you".

A place of peace,

so let it rest,

inside my soul

that You know best

and underneath

this continual cry

the constant comfort

of reassurance lies-

Christ came for me,

You'll never let go,

it was for me

Your Love was shown

that nothing

in heaven or earth

can move

the words You spoke

"I will never leave you".

Hebrews 13:5

“I will never forsake you or leave you”.

how the light falls - summer

something so simple

as how the light falls

evokes such feelings

as to leave us in awe

of life's dimensions

both here and elsewhere,

how nothing is static

how change takes us unaware;

artists attempt the rendering,

poets set about to rhyme

but it's the way the light falls

that leads our feelings

to align 

when I get to winter - summer

when I get to winter

let me think of the spring

for there is peace

in the remembering

when life was new

and all was green

so much sadness

still unseen;

all that goodness 

still remains

a part of me -

I hear the strains

of comforting birds

and sunshine's rays

in peacefulness on

the grassy plain

where kind folks dwell

just over the hill -

no matter the winter,

I'll live there still. 

gentle grace - summer

gentle grace

set your holy place

among we who need thee so much...

there is pain

we're bearing its name

and we long for your merciful touch

turn our eyes

from what lies

before us here

and let us find

you, soft and kind

as we feel you, oh so near
