Psalms 65:13 (KJV) “The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.”

Pastures rejoice,
Praising the One who reaches down,
From the heavens where He abides,
Reassuring and reminding souls…
His gifts silence the darkness, restore the light…
That trembles in the grace, reassuring
Soundless as the still, clear waters – watering
Meadows and mountains, inscribing
Joy throughout the mornings and gentle breaths
Of clarity in the dusk… dividing day and night
With the healing hopes, the lights fading,
Feelings bleeding through the silence,
Inspiring dreams and awakening imaginations
So that God’s pen upon a heart can be felt,
Like the grace that stirs such abundance,
Never fading, this faith is like a moving sea,
Forcing the gentle to be kissed away,
As music, rhythms and rhymes, remind us why…

Promises return with smiles,
Mysteries cross the seas of forever – abiding,
Revealing the truth who is alive, like a fire or the sweetest
Insight into starlight, sunset, grace that swells
On crests of wonderful beyond describing, a wonderful
In details who survive the shadows, feel
Like promises kissing away the past, reminding souls
That wherever they go, with Jesus beside them –
There is hope that never doubts, faith that is lasting…
Joy that shines bright, reflecting the music
In tones of trembling beauty, the song stuns the stars,
Caressing the moon with a glowing flow –
Wishing on a star, yet remembering that the wish
Is – wherever we are, the wish is only a start…
Faith flames in the heart who believes, without seeing,
The promise of His love, His light, His gift to those
Who simply believe Him and agree to receive Him
As the light of the world,
The glorious gift from God who signs His name,
With a living grace, the wonder of faith
Who decides our fate.

Praise – even the pastures praise!
Raise hands in praise – Raise hearts full of grace!
Just believe and see… there is amazement,
Amazed by the way His pen can write so eloquently,
Like a passion, a fire… trembling with light,
Pouring out the living WORD, His promise to the world…
Saving souls from eternity without this love,
Love that shines so bright we could never unhear
What has been heard… 

Praise Him – for He is good
He is the way, the truth, the life,
The good who decides to write, in our hearts,
The story of living water, the story of living love…
The story who lives without words – the story
Who promises, when its seeds have been planted,
When the story is heard, there is eternal love…
Love beyond words, love that is beyond good,
Love that stirs Him to sign a name in His book,
The Book of Life, the book that will always survive
Throughout time, forever – this hope will never die.
His love will always be alive, providing hearts with true life!
