Friendly Jas

It was a blessed day--

The day that I met you

Though at the time

I didn't have a clue

As iron sharpens iron so does one man another

And that's what God intended us to do (Psalm 27:17)

Flowers fall and seasons change (Isaiah 40:8)

And you know how we treat the rain

In times of drought we pray it comes

And when it falls we turn and run

The moon is new, you've left your seat (I Samuel 20:18)

The time has come to go in peace (I Samuel 20:42)

With my own hand the bow was strung

The arrow shot now falls beyond (I Samuel 20:36)

I thank my God for every (Philippians 1:3)

Memory of you

The lessons learned and

The way the Spirit moved

I remember hearing "church is more than just a building"

I remember when we proved it true

Flowers fall and seasons change

And you know how we treat the rain

In times of drought we pray it comes

And when it falls we turn and run

The moon is new; you've left your seat

The time has come to go in peace

With my own hand the bow was strung

The arrow shot now falls beyond

That day, I could have stared at the ocean forever

With a song for every grain beneath my feet

We were so young and brilliantly naïve

To the joy and the pain and the days that we would see

Everything has changed

But our hope remains the same

I want you to know that I'll be here

Through a hundred years of rain

Together we run into what we do not know

Trusting our God who made tomorrow
