TODAY

 

Today, I have much I want to say.

 

Today, I want to thank the Lord

 

For his patience and his love.

 

I want to thank our heavenly father

 

For the sky, the stars and the earth.

 

I want to thank the Lord

 

 For being there,

 

On that one time, I was scared.

 

I want to thank him for providing

 

The delicious meal, I wasn’t counting.

 

I want to praise his name today

 

For tomorrow… Who knows?

 

If I will see the new day.

 “WIND”

Wind that travels everywhere

come and take our fears away.

Come and take the fear of war,

come and take the fear of death.

Pick up peace from where there’s some,

take it back to where there’s not.

Wind that reaches everyone

blow; blow hard until you’re done.
