Open up this moment
As you whisper a silent prayer
Bring laughter, light and love
To the surface, where you can
Brighten thoughts
With kindness, joy and inspiration
That thrive on the gift of
Imagination, appreciation
Faith in the heart
Open up this day
As you sing from your soul
Happiness and hope and healing
Heaven’s breath smiling through
The fears, tears and years
Bringing reassurance to those
Who know the struggles
Will, one day, be gone
And gems of hope will linger on
Playing, with harmony,
The warmth of a song
Open up this glowing gift
Of pleasure and gladness, bliss
That comes from giving back to our God
A part of the heart, the soul, the love
That lifts sorrows and brightens darkness
With gentleness and acceptance
Feelings of gratitude and thanks
That come about when we take a moment
To think of the ways we’ve been
Blessed, beyond our convictions
In spite of our faults and flaws
With a love that keeps us
Full of life – alive
Filled with tenderness and affection
Feelings that give our hearts
Their direction
Open up the heart to give
With a freedom that reminds us to live
For the One who breathed life
Into our lives, our laughter, our love
The compassion that fills us with
Patience, praise and prayer
Open up and feel full of grace
