Been to the Beach?


Have you been to the beach?
I have.

Have you felt on your cheeks the salty breeze
Seen the shining sparkling seas
Felt the cool sand squishing between your toes
Watched the circling squawking gulls

Have you felt the joy of a splashing run
Seen the ocean’s setting sun
Felt the cold waves slapping at your bare feet
Watched the sloshing tides retreat

Have you felt the peace of mirrored waters
Seen the playful sea otters
Felt the fun of making castles with pails
Watched the swimming humpback whales

Have you felt the glee of skipping smooth rocks
Seen the wooden fishing docks
Felt the soft landing of a butterfly
Watched the graceful pelicans fly

Have you felt the thrill of sailing the deep
Seen the blue nosed dolphins leap
Felt the pleasure of picking polished shells
Watched the harbor seals in the swells

Have you known the love of God?
I have.

Have you felt the love of God
Seen His amazing grace
Felt His tender healing touch
Watched Him giving hope and faith

Do you know the love of Christ
He comforts lonely hearts
Peace beyond understanding
His love He waits to impart

Christ will always meet your needs
Trust in His every word
He will never fail you
The safe harbor from life’s storms

Do you know Christ’s love is real?
I do.
