Northern Lights

Northern lights in our lives
Showing us the way
As we climb those mountains
Closer to victory each day

In the darkness
You know the light is close
A trust to keep moving
Over the steep ledges you go

As you move out to the beauty
You see the heavens opening up
A pounding in your heart
Relieved to hear the sounds of love

You reach the top, you start to rejoice
The magic of it all so overwhelming
Lifting your arms in praise
Thankful for the gifts

So many gifts, so little time
We think as we welcome in the view
As we breathe in deeply one more time
Home again in the heavens with you
