the songs are breaking on the shores
of my story
reminding me of family friends and love
gifts of Grace are all around
in every wave i hear the sound
of Your love and care
the songs are breaking on the shores
of my story
reminding me of things undone
hurt and tears seem to abound
in every wave i hear the sound
of my lack of love dear God
forgive me
the songs are breaking on the shores
of my story
reminding me of my dearest love
high school days then wedding day
home and kids
all gifts from above
in every breath i breathe
your love
so grateful
for your love
the songs are breaking on the shores
of my story
reminding me i soon must leave
so may i sing to my Father above
so may i sing to those i love
may He find me ready
to walk on the shore
of my new home
no more tears and endless Light
faith hope
and the greatest
Love
so here we are again
another day has dawned
lets get it right today
and see what we’ve become
so here we are again
another chance to love
to give and not to take
to set our hearts on things above
dear God we need to hear your voice
let all the change i want to see
let all the change begin in me
dear God
please
change
me

i talked to my tears today
they had so much to say
as they left my heart
and painted my face
sometimes i’m torn apart
by this crazy race
called life
i talked to my tears today
they had so much to say
as i felt the weight
of my head in my hands
sometimes i can’t think straight
longing for love in the hate
in all the races that shine
so beautifully shine
i talked to my tears today
they had so much to say
tell me more of the me
that must be renewed
that must be
changed
transformed
rearranged
in the deep
by love from above
i talked to my tears today
they had so much to say
so i spoke about hope
that there is a day
when justice will come
pain will be gone
and tears wiped away
on the shores of that day
all nations will sing dance and play
do you know your worth
do you see your value
do you know you are highly favored
do you have hope
do you have peace
do you
what is your why
did you rise with the light
has the light dimmed inside
angry again
did you let it go
will you finally forgive
do you know your worth
do you see your value
do you know you are highly favored
does fear guide you
is unrest your norm
what do you worship
and what of love
did you lock up your heart
is love pain free
what makes your cry
where does the sorrow come from
do you feel
do you know your worth
do you see your value
do you know you are highly favored
are you free
are you waiting
are you remembering
where do you look
where is your comfort
where is your healing
how are you doing
really
is there color in your step
a reason to see a new day
something to live and die for
do you know your worth
do you see your value
do you know you are highly favored
gentle words are a tree of life* is there gentleness in your heart today kindness in your soul meekness in the tones of your voice
what impact do we have on others do we justify the very attitude in us that we condemn in others do we demonstrate the very hate we call out in others gentle words are a tree of life
are we willing to love before we declare how right we are do we see our blindness as we call out for justice and judgement all the while marginalizing diminishing tearing down feeling so good all because we possess unquestionable wisdom gentle words are a tree of life
and pride will be our ruin each of us deceived holding out our torch of truth for others beckoning the world to listen and follow content with the darkness inside our hearts gentle words are a tree of life
you sound better today better than yesterday i’m your father… i knowyou see I never left her side I was with her when I imagined her I saw her before there was time and before the mountains stood and the oceans sang before the great forests were just little children she was my childyou sound better today better than yesterday i’m your father… i know
what you see as trial I see as triumph what you see as pain I see as refining what you see as darkness is just light to Mewhat you see as defeat is just another step upon the light of eternity a small thread in the tapestry an immeasurable stroke of the brush on this canvas of beauty for she is a masterpiece radiant in my love held in My armsyou sound better today better than yesterday i’m your father… i knowI saw her tears I saw yours too fear and trust doubt and peace such a crazy dance it is the unseen real that you must see it is the end of the rope that you must release
you sound better today better than yesterday i’m your father… i knowI have come to know your pain I have suffered beyond all suffering give yourself to me I am acquainted with your deepest grief and I know how alone you feel how helpless out of control alone just give yourself to meyou sound better today better than yesterday i’m your father… i know
that’s what your earthly papa said when he called you
the beautiful sadness of fall
colors singing proudly
before cascading to the earth
creating a carpet
of emerald crimson and lemon
to welcome the solace and solitude of winter
the humility of each season
is the common theme of the songs they sing
each season happily surrenders its beauty
to the charm and grace of the next
and so all creation sings to the Creator
let us do the same
welcome the constant change
that this life brings
and be alive
to all that must die within us
and be willing to surrender
to all that must be reborn
through confession
forgiveness
and the grace and mercy
of our Lord
"Yes, grass withers and flowers fade,
but the word of our God endures forever." *
and
He
is
light
and
He
is
love
* Isaiah 40:8
