Warmth on my Face

I gaze into the leaves above

I see your face so clearly.

Warmth of your touch, ever near

Your promises eternal.

Your beauty takes away my breath

I stand transfixed and frozen.

Marveling at your presence here

My heart, it hears you calling.

My joyful spirit greets your touch

I feel my soul uplifting.

To join the universal beats

It’s song of great thanksgiving.

Oh joyful life, oh blessed day

I know you’re always with me.

Oh let me walk your blessing way

And hold your hand forever.
