Softly With the Lambs – Poem

Go on ahead of me
I must lead softly on
The tender flock around me
Cannot run the whole day long

And if you climb to greater heights
We'll follow at a pace
That children and the lambs can walk
Just step by step in grace

Then together on that day
We'll meet you at the gate
For I must lead on softly
Until the break of day!

When The Woodpecker Went to Work

The cardinals were singing 
While the hawk sat on his perch
All the pigeons were just sleeping in
When woodpecker went to work!

And his tapping kept reminding me
I still have a job to do
And just sitting round and dreaming
Is not what God has planned to do

For even though He gives us song
And to rest awhile is fine
He still has more for us in store
To do in Summertime

For there’s a garden we must plant
With rows to weed and tend
And water with our tears and prayers
Till His kingdom come again

The Great Big God of Little Things

The great big God of all the earth
Is the God of little things
And His hands that made the sun and moon
Designed each sparrow’s wings

And the one who sends the thunder’s crash
Taught the Mockingbird a song
And this great big God who sees my heart
Calls me to be strong

And trust that when my small world shakes
And I can’t sleep at night
This great big God of little things
Still has me in His sight

And He will stay right here by me
When I can’t fix what’s wrong
And like the mockingbird He’ll teach
Me how to sing His song!
