Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Psalms 100:1-2 (ESV)
Towering pines line a winding road
To a welcoming rock for the young and old
A serene sanctuary beside living waters
Providing needed respite from earthly matters
As rays of sunlight filter through the leaves
Songs of praise rise up through the trees
God’s amazing creation at its very best
A glorious place apart He’s so richly blessed
Calls on us to seek only after His righteousness
For solely in His Word we find peace and rest
That nurtures those unworthy He has chosen
To grow in grace through this glimpse of heaven
What an eternal hope we have. It makes me think of the verse in Revelation 23 where it talks about the trees and leaves of healing.
