Analysis of Ladder Stand To Heaven
Strategically dressed in hopes that I can’t be seen
Slowly, quietly yet aware of each step I take
All senses fully awake praying for an amazing dream
Each scenario rehearsed in my mind, Lord grant me a break
Finally reaching my ladder stand each step closer to heaven’s gate
Morning dew covers me as I strive to reach the top
Make my hand steady, Lord accurate with no mistakes
The view puts me in awe the sun breaking over the food plot
The curtain opens with rays of light creeping through the trees
Sounds of so many creatures harmonize, it’s all begun
God’s love, brown, and red, yellow intertwined in the leaves
A harvest coming, a blessing of time spent with my Father’s Son
Red Jays spectacular trapeze flights from branch to branch
Gracefully no effort orchestrated in each intricate movement
Breathe in your glory wondering if this is my one chance
No matter what comes or goes it’s our time together well spent
This quiet time is when I hear you speaking to me oh so clear
Absorbing the indescribable spirit altering love of Your masterpiece
This is our time, like no other moment in time I know you’re near
Precious Lord I’m engulfed in Your presence filled with Your peace
Dedicated to Scott who shares his heart and love for hunting with me.
