For You: Poems of Faith, Hope and Love
Page 4
On the things that we do
While we live
On this earth full of strife
The path that we choose
The sins we commit
Will we hear them again
In our afterlife
Baby’s Poem
To hear you crying in the night
Your tiny voice filling up our home
To share the joy of giving life
Sweetest thing I’ve ever known
To see you smile in the morning air
Watch you sleeping in the sun
Can’t begin to show how much I care
Your life has just begun
May all our love stay in your mind
May all your dreams come true
Of all the things I’ve hoped to find
Nothing’s been more beautiful than you
Just One More Time (The John Denver Poem)
It was an early Sunday morning
When I flew the Rocky Mountains
And in the dawn of light’s first glowing
I swear I saw your face
Reflected on the snow caps
On a still creek water flowing
You smiled at life’s great master plan
As I whispered out your name
And did I say
Just one more time
Can you sing another song about the mountains
Just one more time
Can you hear all the voices in the wind
Just one more time
Can you say that this world belongs together
Just one more time
Just one more time
Let us begin
So I closed my eyes in sadness
As I felt the sweet surrender
How your life brought so much gladness
To a world yet undefined
Can you still hear the voices
Of the children of the forest
To live our lives in harmony
With all that we may know
And did I go
Just one more time
Can you sing another song about the mountains
Just one more time
Can you hear all the voices in the wind
Just one more time
Can you say that this world belongs together
Just one more time
Just one more time
Let us begin
Cartersville Daydreaming
And somehow I know I’ll miss you
Though I knew you not at all
Your peaceful ways, your quiet dreams
The simplicity that falls
From a life spent chasing rainbows
Scaling mountains, sailing tides
A weary soul that longs for rest
Which only Your spirit can provide
And somehow I know I’ll miss you
Early sunrise o’er the lake
And the wind, she whispers through the trees
So many journeys yet to take
Without you…
I. Sunrise
Sunrise
Over the mountains
Makes me feel reborn
Makes me feel new
Sunrise
Over the mountains
Shows me a different life
Reminds me of You
I long to see the serenity of a calm, blue creek flowing
I long to feel the gentle breeze of a cool mountain wind
To know winter’s come with the very first snow
It makes me want to begin my life again
Sunrise
Over the mountains
Makes me feel reborn
Is nature’s beauty reserved to so few
It’s simplicity I cannot understand
The creatures that live there, how can they know
Nothing can compare to God’s great hand
Sunrise
Over the mountains
Shows me a different life
Makes me feel new
Sunrise
Over the mountains
Makes me feel reborn
Reminds me of You.
II. Mid-Afternoon ( Have You Seen Your God Today)
Have you seen your God today
Oh yes, I saw Him in the waterfall
I heard Him in the sparrow’s song
When He whispered out my name
Have you praised your God today
Oh yes, I praised Him for each morning’s call
I praised Him for the joy of all
This world that He has gave
Have you thanked your God today
Oh yes, I thanked Him for the stable stall
I thanked Him for His shepherd’s call
For His Son who came to save
III. Dusk (You Are Everything To Me)
You are everything to me
You are my sunrise and my sunset
My mountains and my ocean
You are the fires that warm me
The winds which fill my sails
Can you be everything to me
I think you can
You are everything to me
You are my morning and my evenings
My rainfall and my rainbow
You are the angels that guide me
The love which leads my life
Can you be everything to me
I think you can
And somehow I know I’ll miss you
Though I knew you not at all…
In Jesus Christ (You Can Have It All)
Who said that life would be easy
You know, it’s not always fun
You have to let go of your troubles
Yesterday’s already done
You’re searching for earthly pleasures
Sin, it’s right there in your face
But you’re not a permanent resident
You know there’s a better place
All your life, all your love
All the dreams you’re dreaming of
In Jesus Christ, you can have it all
Give your fears, give your pain
You will never be the same
In Jesus Christ, you can have it all
Take your place here at His table
Rejoice in the breaking of bread
Make yourself a new creation
Listen and you will be fed
All your life, all your love
All the dreams you’re dreaming of
In Jesus Christ, you can have it all
Give your fears, give your pain
You will never be the same
In Jesus Christ, you can have it all
Give yourself now to His Spirit
See how it roars like the wind
Come now and stand in His presence
You have been born again
Born again
All your life, all your love
All the dreams you’re dreaming of
In Jesus Christ, you can have it all
Give your fears, give your pain
You will never be the same
In Jesus Christ, you can have it all
There For Me
You’ve never left me
And together we have weathered every storm
And though I can’t see
My heart is sure that there will be some more
But I know
You will be there for me
In the hard times
I realize I strive toward the prize
In my lifetime
I’ve sailed across the seas to paradise
And I know
You will be there for me
Yes, I know
You will be there for me
And my God
He took the stars down from the sky
When I hold you close
I see He put them in your eyes
And the heavens know
These simple words are true
If God has a treasure just for me
You have been faithful
In days gone by you’ve never left my side
I am so grateful
Yesterday has died but tomorrow is alive
And I know
You will be there for me
I thank God
You will be there for me
