THE RANGE
Far from the hustle
and bustle of life,
Far from the tension
of turmoil and
strife,
Far from the
concrete jungles we
know
Is a place to
reflect, to renew,
and to grow.
Out on the range,
which God created
for all,
Where soft breezes
sway, summer grass
growing tall,
Fresh rains paint
the landscape a
wondrous green.
God’s beauty abounds
over all that is
seen.
At beginning of day
- the stillness of
morn,
Heralded by meadow
larks - a new day is
born.
Deer lift their
heads as they pause
at the spring,
The sun bringing
warmth to all living
things.
Ponder and enjoy –
all there’s to see,
The quiet, the
solitude, the calm
serenity.
Here’s a peace that
can touch the most
troubled soul,
God’s order thru
creation – a wonder
to behold.
‘Round the table at
supper – God’s
blessings we share,
Hands clasped, heads
bowed, thankful for
our Lord’s care,
For hard work –
daily chores – a job
well done,
For brothers and
sisters – a dad and
a mom.
As evening
approaches – the sun
setting low,
The blueness of
heaven takes on a
red glow.
Long shadows are
cast – night’s rest
is at hand,
A crispness so
refreshing envelopes
the land.
Stars shimmer so
bright – moonlight
casting its glow,
The heavens explode
– a northern lights
show.
As all go about
getting ready for
bed,
God’s Word is opened
– The Bible is read.
Inside a true story
‘bout God’s only
Son,
Jesus our Savior and
all that He’s done
For each and every
one, whoever they
are,
No matter the loss –
no matter the scar.
Trust our Lord’s
truth – follow His
ways.
Life takes on new
meaning – there’s a
difference each day.
God’s blessing
awaits – each and
every one
Who come to the
Father through Jesus
His Son.
Receive Christ as
Savior – He died for
you and me
So we could be
forgiven – rest in
heaven eternally,
But there’s more
than that He’s done
– that we need to
understand.
There’s abundant
life here on earth –
it’s all in His
plan.
Christ desires to
set us free of that
which weighs us
down,
The disappointments,
the hurts, the
mistreatments that
abound,
The pathway to
freedom – is not
without pain,
But follow our
Lord’s truth –
overflowing joy will
be the gain.
The wide open spaces
– air fresh – sky
blue –
Your creation, dear
Lord – helps us
reflect upon You,
Where youth will be
strengthened – for
what lies ahead,
Having a message of
hope – to a world
filled with dread.
