I’m singing this song, to tell you I love you and I care about you I saw you yesterday, walking with your friends, and I waited... hoping you would talk to me as evening drew near I gave you a sunset to close your day and a cool breeze to rest you I try to tell you in the blue skies, and in the quiet green grass I whisper it in the leaves on the trees, and on a snowy pass I shout it to you in the mountain streams, I give the birds love songs to sing, I clothe you with warm sunshine, I love you all of the time I saw you fall asleep last night... I longed to touch your brow so I spilled moonlight... on your pillow and on your face again I waited, wanting to rush down so we could talk, I have so many gifts for you but you awakened late today, rushed off to work and play My tears were in the rain I try to tell you in the blue skies, and in the quiet green grass I whisper it in the leaves on the trees, and on a snowy pass I shout it to you in the mountain streams, I give the birds love songs to sing I clothe you with warm sunshine, I love you all of the time before you go... just remember I love you and want to help you feel free to talk with me, day of night I’m just a whisper away please don’t forget Me I try to tell you in the blue skies, and in the quiet green grass I whisper it in the leaves on the trees, and on a snowy pass I shout it to you in the mountain streams, I give the birds love songs to sing I clothe you with warm sunshine, I love you all of the time (1 John 4:7-21, John 3:1, Ro 8:28-39, John 15:9-13, Lu 16:13,. Mr 12:30, John 14:15)

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there’s despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy O Divine Master grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console to be understood, as to understand to be loved as to love for it is in giving that we receive it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is dying that we are born to eternal life

In the beginning was the Word The Word was with God and the Word was God Through Him all things were made that have been made In Him was Life and that Life was the Light of men And the Light shone in the darkness But it did not understand The Light shone in the darkness But it did not comprehend That which we have heard and we have seen This we proclaim to you concerning the Word of Life This is message we have heard and declare to you God is Light and in Him there’s no darkness at all And the Light shines in the darkness But it did not understand The Light shines in the darkness But its hard to comprehend The Word became flesh and dwells among us We behold the glory of the only begotten son He has come full of love full of grace and truth This is the message we proclaim to you And the Light shines in your darkness And we pray you understand The Light shines in your darkness And we pray you comprehend The Light shines in the darkness Ah but will you understand The Light shines in the darkness But will you comprehend Will you comprehend I pray you comprehend

Psalm 23 03:22
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside the quiet waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in His paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. And even though I walk through the valley of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod a staff comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. I will dwell in the house of the Lord I will dwell in His house forever. The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
