The Hoppers - That's Him

 SOUNDS
I love the sound, of the morning dove,
when he calls his mate in love;
I love the sound, of the distant loon,
as he sings his mournful tune;
I love the sound, of the gentle breeze,
as it moves and rustles the leaves;
I love the sound, of the falling rain,
as it strikes against the window pane;
I love the sound, of the babbling brook’
as I sit and dangle my hook;
I love the sound, of the lullaby,
as the mother soothes her child’s cry.
I love the sound, all creation gives,
and shouts the news, our creator lives;
I love the sound, of God’s Holy word,
and the great message it gives to be heard,
salvation and great hope for the lost,
comes from God at great cost.
If this great truth they believe,
eternal life they shall receive.
There is a sound, I am waiting for,
the sound of a great shout,
and a trumpets blare,
when the Saints will meet,
Christ in the air;
We will be ushered to Heaven above,
because of His amazing grace and eternal love.

THANKSGIVING

On our calendar, Thanksgiving comes once a year,

but in my heart, it is always here.

In the morning, I thank God for the things I see;

all the beauty He gives to me.

I thank Him for each sound I hear,

the rustling leaves, the bleating deer.

I thank Him for the roof over my head,

and my warm cozy bed;

I thank Him for each scent I smell,

some beckoning my stomach to fill.

I thank God for the things I touch,

being able to feel means so much;

I thank Him for my family,

each one, so special to me.

I know now what I am trying to say,

thank God for everything, every day.

On our calendar, Thanksgiving comes once a year,

but in my heart, it is always here.

God's Nearness!

God is near, as I walk in the forest green, and when I sit by waters clear, and I sense His presence, when I view the white tailed deer. I enjoy His presence in the morning still, while walking through a beautiful garden, seeing the lily and the golden daffodil. I know He is with me, while I am walking in a deep valley, or climbing very steep hills. I feel His warmth in the sunshine, and His freshness in the rain, and His gracious hand of mercy, while I am living with my pain. I feel God’s presence, when I read His Holy Word, there He reveals His story, the greatest love story ever heard. When I awake in the morning, I have nothing to fear, I praise God and give thanks, that my Lord is near.
