Gentle leaves, crinkled epiphanies
Blessing souls, blessing the hopes, the dreams
Forever’s wings, soaring over the skies
	Starlight, blinking… moon gleaming,
		Revealing the light of a spirit’s singing,
Reassuring, reminding, revealing
	Where the ache of twilight, subtle and soothing,
		Erases the bright of a moment, alone
	Caressing the trees, a breeze – fresh and warm,
Autumn’s embrace, 
		Touch of light, faith, grace that becomes
	More amazing, with each trace of light,
			Each feeling so alive, endless
As the softly spoken thoughts, from a candle or a harp,
	Angel’s gift to those who rest
		In the center of God’s best,
			His startling presence…
In the gentle of a leaf, abiding, surviving the heavy heat,
	Warring with the cool breath of wind,
		Silent and alone, gesturing the way
	Through the most intimate day,
			The prayer, the praise, the sanctification
Blessings in songs, enduring the dark
Forgetting the past, - sins cast to the seas,
Only memories…
	Just a memory – broken hearts, broken wings,
		Healed by grace, forgiven
			By the One who burns away
The dross, assuring that He saves the lost,
	He saves to the uttermost…

Without a doubt, I will praise, praise, praise…
	Because… without a doubt,
		He stilled the storm that once raged within me,
A storm that once stalked my spirit…
	A storm that has been hushed by the presence
		More powerful than any storm…
He is the light – He is the love
	That makes sure my heart is restored,
		My soul is saved,
			By the grace, the gift
Of a Savior who I know…

Stills the fears of my heart,
	Remembers me when I’m in the dark,
		Offers the light of His love,
			So I can know, with Him…

There is hope that comforts my soul,
	There is faith that lifts my heart,
		There is love that calms, eternally
He is the One I’ll praise forevermore
He is the One who led me to His heavenly shore
He is the One who I’ll live my whole life for!
