Let every heart sweet music make,
And sing with us for Jesus’ sake:

Into a rainbow
For all of God's
Children to know …
A pattern of Promise
Sets hearts
Aglow.
A shape pattern of a dove
Descended from above
Helping us to learn of
Immeasurable love.
Patterns of snowflakes
A six-sided design
Symmetrical beauty
That blankets the pine.

Stars in the skies
Luminous patterns
Stellar surprise.

Form patterns of trust
As talking with God
Each day is
A must.
Patterns around us
Have a voice of their own
Telling us softly …
We are never alone.
