Come along as I share
a secret that lies . . .
in the clear, star-filled night . . .
of an East Texas sky.
"Can't you see her?" he asked,
with a voice so kind and so strong.
"I'll give you this gift, . . .
so you won't feel alone."
I couldn't imagine . . .
my heart just couldn't see,
that what was given that night
would become so precious to me.
The crickets were chirping . . .
the summer breeze touched my hair.
"Please show her to me."
He smiled and begin drawing with care.
He pointed up to the moon.
So big and so bright.
It would happen, I knew it.
I'd see her that night.
With his hands the years
had left rough and yet kind,
he traced in the air . . .
until her face I could find.
All this time she had been there . . .
but I did not see.
Not until in his kindness,
he showed her to me.
My heart filled with wonder . . .
the moment I knew she was there.
The moon held a secret,
it was so perfectly clear
Each time I gaze at the moon . . .
I feel the miracle of love,
and the hand that drew her for me
in the sky up above.
Blessings are like that night
full of crickets and stars.
Sometimes we don't see them
For just what they are.
But once they're revealed,
by God's patience and love . . .
They will always be with us,
His gifts from above.
If you're not seeing blessings,
it's time that you took . . .
a moment to remember the moon.
You just needed to look.

2 Cor 4:6-7 KJV
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of
darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we
have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the
power may be of God, and not of us.
