The breathe of summer is nearly past Oaks and maples collect dreams, belief Pouring out the tenderest promises, gentling The spirit with a grace so warm, like a whisper Caressing the moon with soft tendrils of firefly Kindness, kindled by the soul who remembers When the feelings were more pure than temptations Who render the moments helpless, left yearning For the laughing smiles, the joy in the rain – As it falls, glistening on the edges of a hopeful leaf, Dancing in the flames of fall, when everything prays, All over there is memory and yesterday and ancient Shadows, revealing the echoes of a past where history Told of glorious moments, healing and happiness, Breathless rays of sun’s setting and rising, reflecting All the hallelujahs in a song, a wisdom, a heart who longs For the day when God will say – I’ve come… To take my children home, YES – to take my children HOME Where the heart is, where the soul lasts, where freedom Is like the luscious love that pours out inside the ones who believe, The ones who see Him as eternal, forever, peace, love That knows no doubting, no dread, no fear – no fear ever Can wipe away the satisfaction of having Him say – “You’re mine” Forever, without end – I will always say grace, His gift, is the answer To every fear that has ever been. With HIM, there is no fear that can take away the peace Living within, where He is… the spirit’s best friend, The truth that penetrates and inspires, stirring hope and faith Promising the amazing that comes with grace! Thanks to HIM, I’m forever praising, praising, praising The One who left me a reason to thank Him, A reason to wake to the sound of forever, the eternity That allows me to answer fear without a tear… A reason, He brings – a reason to live and a reason to strive To be like Him, the One who forgives all sin Because He is the Light revealing grace that will win In the end, yes oh yes… in the end, He WINS!
