Sounds of Nature

I can hear the rippling water falling gently
From the waterfall that I have found
From the meadow I hear meadowlarks a singing
Seems there's sounds of nature all around
I can hear the wind go whistling through the treetops
I hear raindrops falling softly to the ground
In the distance I can hear the roar of thunder
Seems there's sounds of nature all around
Sounds of nature fill the air with music
How I love and cherish every sound
I often kneel in prayer to thank the Master
For the sounds of nature all around
In a barren tree a lonesome dove is calling
For its mate that's nowhere to be found
In the garden I hear honeybees a humming
Sounds of nature fill the air with music
Seems there's sounds of nature all around

First Performance

Today was our first WV's sacred show. I have to say that it went amazing! The song that is our "signature" song, is called "Top Of My Lungs". I have the solo in that one (belted a high E at 10:30 in the morning. I was quite proud!). The more I listen to it and the more I sing it, the more I feel my heart opening. I couldn't help it but, during the climax of the song I just started raising my hand and jumping. I felt so free. Our last song of the set was "Stranger". Erica has that solo and I play bass. That too was amazing! There is a part where only the drums play and the singers sing. I just started singing the meoldy line like as loud as I possibley could. I got a couple looks like "what are you doing?", but I didn't care. I loved it! I can see God reaching out to me and me actually letting Him this time. I"m excited to see what else happens. It's not supposed to be an easy journey. If it were, everyone would do it. So, here I am, and I'm feel another chapter coming on.
