Lightning coursed across the sky
In scarlet streaks of crimson
Thunder shook the earth
All the way down to its core
Mountains trembled and oceans whipped in fury
Stars fled their celestial homes
And, as they crashed onto, into and through our planet
I thanked God for His grace
Free to fly on the wings of a dove
My soul retrieved by God above
A final glance down upon the Earth
The temporary home after my birth
Heaven awaits with arms open wide
As upon these wings my spirit glides
Higher and higher into brilliant light
Forever in praise in His beautiful sight

When I enter the mind storm
For the battle of my life
Eternity hanging in the wings
Deep down inside
Burns my desire
And strength from the King of Kings
Mine is a future
He laid out the path
To follow and trust in His Word
If only this battle
Raging inside
Could be clear – but I make it blurred
I drew that line in the sand
But someone wiped it off again
So, I got down on my hands and knees
And drew it back where it had been
No sooner had I turned around
To glare back at the crowd
When someone started laughing
And someone else let out a shout
That line you drew it cannot last
No matter how hard you try
There’s a shadow cast down from a cross
Where Jesus had to die
But in His death, He took with Him
What should come as a surprise
Every sin that’s ever been
Along with every line
Is there anything sweeter
Than the laughter of a child?
When is the last time you laughed like this?
Life, Love and Laughter…
