Parting Thoughts - Frank Grubbs

"My feet have found faith, beneath your table...
they have found rest in your backyard.
My hands have toiled beside you, but the work was easy...
cause He came down and the yoke was shared.


And I will miss you,
and I will pray,
that faith goes before you,
and peace follows near.

My eyes have seen the love that grows within you....
and it's caused my hindsight to go blind.
My ears have heard the truth that you wrap in a blessing...
and though convicting, I am set free.

And the things that we have bound up,
are as far as the east from west.
And the things that we have given,
are worth their weight in gold.
And the love that we have shared,
is priceless and holy....
it is a treasure we have stored up in heaven.

And though the shape of the house may change....
Christ, He will reign there just the same.
And though the miles will lengthen, the same ground holds us both,
and the same good rain falls on us all.

And I will miss you,
and I will pray,
that grace goes before you,
and peace follows near."

I miss you friend....and this song represents so many other seasons of kindred spirits that have come and gone in my life....Praise God that HE is steadfast and unchanging!

Such beautiful lyrics of the experience of community....write on, brother...sing your heart out!
