Thoughts Of Home
A chink of light from a curtained room
When all without seems dark and drear
An opening door with a welcoming creak
And eyes that know neither hate nor fear
A meal you share with the ones you love
Made by hands to feed the soul
Giving strength and life and hope
Healing hearts, and making whole
And quiet words, so softly spoken
Bringing peace, inviting trust
A peace to last, past understanding
When all our works have turned to dust
The rhythmic breath of a sleeping child
Breathes a prayer in the silent night
Praising God for all Creation
Oh! So precious in His sight
And all the things we do for others
A cheering smile, a friendly nod
Bring Jesus back to dwell among us
And bring us closer to our God.
