My Journey to God

I Hear God’s Symphony

I walk the meadows and undulating hills
Pausing I hear clearly the songbird thrills
It is a symphony of all nature’s sounds
In the green meadows and hills life abounds.
I hear God’s Symphony

God has made the symphony of nature’s sound
His paintbrush has colored things all around
His palette has conveyed a myriad of tints
Color adds clearly to the symphony imprints.
I Hear God’s Symphony

God gave us ears to hear the symphony He imparts
External ears are a pipeline to the ear of the heart
We need to venture beyond our comfort zone
And find that perfect place where we can pray alone.
I Hear God’s Symphony

The meadows and hills are where the angels sing
Voices join the symphony coming from God’s wellspring
God created and bestowed on us an outdoor cathedral
We need to put our trust in God believing in Life eternal.
I Hear God’s Symphony
