We Have This Moment

The following words are to the song that Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote that I played for offering last Sunday. The title of the song is "We Have This Moment" .

1. Hold tight to the sound of the music of living, Happy songs from the laughter of children at play; Hold my hand as we run through the sweet fragrant meadows, Making memories of what was today.

2. Tiny voice that I hear is my little girl calling for Daddy to hear just what she has to say; My little son running by the hillside may never be quite like today.

3. Tender words, gentle touch, and a good cup of coffee, And someone that loves me and wants me to stay; Hold them near while they're here, and don't wait for tomorrow, to look back and wish for today.

4. Take the blue of the sky and the green of the forest and the gold and the brown of the freshly mown hay, Add the pale shades of spring and the circus of autumn, and weave you a lovely today.

Chorus: For we have this moment to hold in our hands, and to touch as it slips through our fingers like sand; Yesterday's gone, and tomorrow may never come, but we have this moment today.

As Paulette and I reflect on our sister-in-law's life, this song touches my heart even more. Another song they wrote is called: "Hear The Voice Of My Beloved" - Here are the words to it:

1. Hear the voice of my beloved, gently call at close of day, "Come, my love; oh, come and meet me. Rise, oh rise and come away." "Come, my love; oh, come and meet me. Rise, oh, rise and come away!"

2. Winter's dark will soon be over and the rains are nearly done; Flowers bloom and trees are budding, time for singing has begun. Flowers bloom and trees are budding, time for singing has begun.

3. I have waited through the shadows for my Lord to call for me; Now the morning breaks eternal; In its light His face I see. Now the morning breaks eternal, and at last His face I see.

4. When you see the fig tree budding, you will know the summer's near. When you hear the words I've spoken, you will know my coming's near. Keep on listening my beloved, for my coming's very near.

Hope the above words bless you today.
