When I was in Mexico with the youth from church the summer of 2019, we were visiting the home of one of the girls from our youth group and she took us to the ruins of an old Spanish hacienda. Each day we would have quiet time and this day we had our quiet time beneath this ancient Joshua Tree. It felt a little bit like sacred ground. How much went on around this tree over the many years that it has stood there. It has seen much more life than I have and God has known it all.
"Holy words, long preserved, for our walk in this world. They resound with God's own heart, oh let the ancient words impart."

Lovely sketches. The words to the song are a perfect pairing.
