Autumn Skies



The moon is waning on a clear September night

The birds have gone to roost, the deer retreat out of sight

The fresh air fills with laughter of the sweet cicada song

The bullfrogs fill the bass line as the owls come sing along


And it’s a good night-It’s a blessed sight

To see the dusk encroach upon the autumn skies

As the sun sets-There are no regrets

Just a blessed sense of undeserved grace

I am so blessed to be in this blessed place

I am so blessed to be in this blessed place


The sun is rising on a foggy valley dew once more

And the beams are making rainbows shining through my door

Then the rooster makes his prideful presence known

As the mockingbird responds with a song that’s all his own


And it’s a good day-As I watch and pray

To see the dawn encroach upon the autumn skies

At the sun rise-It lights up my eyes

With a vision of this undeserved grace

I am so blessed to be in this blessed place

I am so blessed to be in this blessed place


Bridge

The skies are so blue

They could rend your heart in two

With a joy that fills the chambers of my soul

While the autumn breeze

Puts my mind at ease

And I rest in the assurance that my God is in control


And it’s a good time-To hear creation rhyme

Sounds like new reasons to be glad to be alive

As the days roll-God will bless my  soul

With a blessed sense of undeserved grace

I am so blessed to be in this blessed place

I am so blessed to be in this blessed place
