In Thankful Praise: A Road To 100 Homage
In Thankful Praise: A Road To 100 Homage
by Debora Gossett Rivers
The Holy Spirit
The sun of God’s grace
Star of heaven, song of praise
Praise in the early morning
The power of God at sunrise
We are awake and alive
In this house of prayer
Our heritage became history
History became the fibers of the tapestry
Quilted squares telling the story of our spiritual home
That became a sacred security blanket
We are covered and protected
A constant beacon
The community touchstone
A lighthouse in the middle of the street
A safe harbor in stormy seas for members and visitors
Six shepherds have led this flock
Feeding the body and the spirit
Teaching the word encouraging scholarship
Guiding our spirit to remember the traditions of the past
To embrace the present and to prepare for the future
In praise and worship
There is sweet communion with the Lord
Our souls leap with joy
God makes a bridge
Clears a path to make a leap of faith
Prayer pinpoints the way
Vision faith and work
Purpose is not ignored
The path to divine success
The favor of God
The ultimate encounter
Blessed beyond belief
Divine opportunities from the use of God-given gifts
In burgundy and gold unity
We walk in excellence
Speaking life in all things
Our name is our history
Our name is our heritage
Our name is our purpose
We are Thankful
