A duet of balanced motion
The rails and wheels in tune”

beauty
The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, then you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.

Give Thanks
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son
And now let the weak say, “I am strong”
Let the poor say, “I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us”
And now let the weak say, “I am strong”
Let the poor say, “I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us”
Give thanks with a grateful heart

Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One

And now let the weak say, “I am strong”
Let the poor say, “I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us”
And now let the weak say, “I am strong”
Let the poor say, “I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us”

It’s a Good Thing to Give Thanks Unto the Lord
It’s a Good Thing to Give Thanks Unto the Lord
It’s a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord
And to sing praises unto our God.
It’s a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord
And to sing praises unto our God.
To show forth Thy lovingkindness
In the morning and every night.
It’s a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord.
To show forth Thy lovingkindness
In the morning and every night.
It’s a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord.
