Thank You, Good Shepherd
(Celebration in my town Ede)
Thinking about this summer,
I want to thank You Lord.
Many forests are on fire,
but our woods are still green,
and we celebrate our purple heather.
Horrible wars are going on
- Lord have mercy-
but peace is still here.
Missile strikes in Ukraine in our news,
-we hear in our prosperous town
as it were their distant sound-
but here is Your gracious joy.
Thank you Lord for some rest in my house,
And hope amidst creepy experiences.
Good Shepherd of my town,
Shine the light of powerful hope
all over the earth.
Thank You Jesus, thank You Father,
thank You Spirit of God.
Let it be that the whole world be well aware
of the beauty of the salvation of Jerusalem.
