Under the Willows



Under the willows the breeze is gentle
Yet the sun shines bright through its leaves
A constant reminder to all of us
That God shines bright
Through the darkest of times
If we will just let Him
He wants to shine very bright
In each and every one of our lives
Shine for the world to see
Shine so that the world will see
The difference in us
And the difference He can make

We are all one body through Him
We are all His children to the end
All it takes is ridding one of self
And taking on the salvation
So selflessly given to us

We are a witness to the world
To every single person
They need to see
They need to hear
The wonderful love and the gift
That Jesus has given us
Through His death and resurrection


The world needs to see and hear
That He is coming again
To take His children home
To take the remnant home
The ones that believe and have accepted Him
No matter what the cost

Yes, Jesus is my Lord and Savior
He is every believer Lord and Savior
Will you serve Him
Will you honor Him
Will you reach out to others for Him
He is calling you to do these things
Are you ready and willing
To give up your life for Him
If and when the time arrives?.
