A brush stroke of kindness
With love to see
Painting a landscape
Of surrounding beauty
A moment of pause
Gratefulness to employ
A drop in an ocean
Of a soul filled with joy
A simple little prayer
One thread to bind
Forming a cord
Of friendship divine
One step of faith
Of trust everyday
Aligning our compass
To follow His way
Come see the sunrise
Come breathe the fresh air
Come feel the joy
Of being right here
Come to the stillness
Come feel my peace
Come into my comfort
All fear to release
Come rising light
Come now restart
Come now receive
My gifts to impart
Come know my Presence
Come be a prayer
Come let us dwell
In my love to share
Come of the needing
Come to be heard
Come to receiving
My blessed Word
A gift in this morning
Of a blessing here
Ascending into
A cloud of prayer
Truth now before us
How little we see
So much of our life
Is a mystery
An offer so great
Assistance God sends
Of the Holy spirit
As our guiding friend
So, open our view
Of vision so great
Through eyes of the soul
To contemplate
I see your piercings
Green hair and tattoos
I don’t see the scars
Of pain you’ve lived through
I see your wrinkles
And hard to move too
I don’t know your story
Of years you’ve lived through
I see your color
Don’t walk in your shoes
I can’t pretend
I know what you go through
I can take the time
To reach out to you
To share our stories
To open our view
Let’s share in the mission
To understand
We are of one body
Loved in God’s hands
To see past the surface
Go deeper to show
The love of our God
Through you to know
A palette created
For the eye to see
To satisfy heart
Of need for beauty
Seasons of color
The glory of Spring
To lush green of Summer
A joy to us bring
In barren of Winter
White covering of grace
In turn of Autumn
A rust we embrace
Through pathway of prayer
We marvel to see
In colors beyond
Your light of beauty
