| Have you ever taken the time to just read music. Much Christian music is made up of lovely verse, as poetic as anything we think of as poetry. Sometimes soothing and restful, sometimes exciting, compelling, awakening! Let me introduce you to some of my favorite Poetry in Music. |

This has always been one of my favorites. We are truly blessed with His Amazing Grace. |
|
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed! Though many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come; 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. The Lord has promised good to me; His Word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures. |

I was there to hear your borning cry, I'll be there when you are old. I rejoiced the day you were baptized to see your life unfold. I was there when you were but a child, with a faith to suit you well; in a blaze of light you wandered off to find where demons dwell. When you heard the wonder of the Word I was there to cheer you on; you were raised to praise the living Lord, to whom you now belong. If you find someone to share your time and you join your hearts as one, I'll be there to make your verses rhyme from dusk til rising sun. In the middle ages of your life, not too old, no longer young, I'll be there to guide you through the night, complete what I've begun. When the evening gently closes in and you shut your weary eyes, I'll be there as I have always been with just one more surprise. I was there to hear your borning cry, I'll be there when you are old. I rejoiced the day you were baptized, to see your life unfold. |

Have faith because no matter how rough the road seems now, God WILL make a way. I truly believe that. He's always been there for me in my time of need and I believe He will be there for you too, if you only open your eyes and look for Him. |

God will make a way where there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me. He will be my guide, hold me closely to His side, With love and strength for each new day, He will make a way, He will make a way. By a roadway in the wilderness He'll lead me. Rivers in the desert will I see. Heaven and earth will fade, but his Word will still remain. He will do something new today. God will make a way where there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me. He will be my guide, hold me closely to His side. With love and strength for each new day, He will make a way. God will make a way where there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me. He will be my guide, hold me closely to his side. With love and strength for each new day, He will make a way, He will make a way. God will make a way, He will make a way. |

Listen carefully to the text of this song. It is one that I love and that means alot to me. When my dad passed away in 1985 we chose this song for his funeral. He was never a 'church goer' and never talked about God, but he was a farmer and his faith was right there for everyone to see in the way he was a caretaker for 'his Father's World'. When I hear or sing this song, I never fail to think about my dad and how much I loved him. |

This is my Father's World, And to my list'ning ears All nature sings, and round me rings The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world; I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas; His hand the wonders wrought. This is my Father's world; The birds their carols raise; The morning light, the lily white, Declare their maker's praise. This is my Father's world; He shines in all that's fair. In the rustling grass, I hear him pass; He speaks to me ev'rywhere. This is my Father's world; Oh, let me not forget That, though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet. This is my Father's world; Why should my heart be sad? The Lord is king, let the heavens ring; God reigns, let the earth be glad! |

Let us never forget to 'Give Thanks'. Without the love of God, who gave His own son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins, we have nothing. |
|
Give thanks with a grateful heart. Give thanks to the Holy One. Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son. Give thanks with a grateful heart. Give thanks to the Holy One. Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son. And now let the weak say, "I am strong;" Let the poor say, "I am rich, because of what the Lord has done for us. Give thanks with a grateful heart. Give thanks to the Holy One. Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son. Give thanks with a grateful heart. Give thanks to the Holy One. Give thanks because He's given Jesus Chirst, His Son. Give thanks, we give thanks, we give thanks! |
