These summer days
They slip away
Before you know it
Fall leaves arrayed
Beneath our feet
The earth grows cold
And here comes winter
Ever bold
‘Tis the truth
Since times old
Seasons change
There’s sun
There’s snow
But God’s love won’t let us go
These winter days
Burst into spring
And once again we’ll learn to sing
These summer days
Aren’t here to stay
So cherish them in every way
For the gift they are
Today
****************
inspired by Summer Time
When the wind howls through the trees
Or sunshine sparkles on the sea
When autumn leaves twirl in the breeze
Or snow paints a winter dream
Take these moments
To breathe in deep
The goodness of the God
Who made all you see
Summer leaving
Grass is fading
Restless air
Leaves changing
Falling
Returning to the soil
Something stirring
In our souls
Daydreaming
Sipping cider
Another year slipping by
Preparing for the winter
With hearts warmed by thankfulness
Celebrating fall together
When you collapse in bed after another hard day
And you wake up to see the sun’s ablaze
When you stare at the stars
Like glitter tossed across the dark sky
And you realize that there’s more to life
Than meets the eye
A deeper love holding hearts together
A higher power keeping the earth in motion
When you read His Words
Black on white
And it bursts as color
In your soul so bright
Suddenly there’s a reason for life
Quiet my soul
Rest a while
In His presence
Not a care
Just Him
Just the darkening sky
And the cicada’s song
The occasional breeze
And a firefly’s flicker
Just the peace
Of knowing that He’s here
In this small corner of the earth
Alone with me
And yet also everywhere else
At the same time
Just the comfort
Of having no words
Because sometimes words can’t speak
♫ What a Friend We Have in Jesus ♫
If You created the infinite sky
Know each star by name
Measured the oceans
In the palm of Your hand
If mountains can be moved
And cast in the sea
By faith as small
As a mustard seed
If You are as big
As we can’t even dream
Then why in the world
Do I worry?

And here’s another one for good measure, because it makes me smile. 🙂

Clear the clouds
In my soul
Shine Your light
Make me whole
Open my eyes
To the beauty
Around me
The earth and sky
Sing
Your praise abounding
Help me to hear
Your voice today
As it leads me gently
In the way
Please clear the clouds
Away
Oh when you hear
For the first time
The songs of eternity
Ringing in your ears
Then you will know
The most beautiful sound
That no one on earth
Has ever heard
Then you will hear
Those glorious words
“well done my faithful servant”
And though right now
You can’t hear us around
One day your hearing
Will be found
In majestic
Heaven’s sound
Let sunshine
Break through your clouds
As your worries
Fall
Like leaves
Landing on
The cold ground
That’ll blossom again
In spring
