| The Witness The touch of his wind across my face The sun�s everlasting warm embrace A rainbow after the heavenly shower Faith to move mountains every hour Tree top�s bending to the weather�s might The star lit sky in the void of night A launch from a sparrow�s nest That one decision I made best The laughter as a child bounces by That special gleam in a father�s eye The howl at the full, harvest moon Never sitting down to an empty spoon A summer�s breeze through forest trees A bedside child on their knees Hymns ringing through that old church bell Being picked up after I fell Cross-stretched arms spread so wide His love forever, never will I hide Dandelion seeds blown in the air Always having someone to care Quiet times in the morning mist The love in mother�s nightly kiss The letters he sent under lamplight Pounding the clay with all his might Head bowed low on my knees Having desire only to please These are the things I see him in the most God the father, our heavenly host These are the things that I want to be When that child�s eyes look up at me No longer shall they see this mortal man But the work of God�s gentle hand Mat. 5:14-16 Kipp McDonald 07/09/00 |
