05_musicarticle3 - First Congregational Church of Scarborough

My life is full of wonderful blessings, my parents, my church family, my friends, my students, my faith, my Lord and so many more. The holidays are the perfect time for me to take a moment and remind the people in my life how much they mean to me. As you celebrate the holidays, my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. May you have a very Blessed Holiday, and thank you for being a part of mine.

Soli Deo Gloria,

Bethany Kirkpatrick

Heirlooms

By Bob Farrell, Brown Bannister, Amy Grant

Up in the attic
Down on my knees
Lifetimes of boxes
Timeless to me
Letters and photographs
Yellowed with years
Some bringing laughter
Some bringing tears

Time never changes
The memories, the faces Of loved ones, who bring to me
All that I come from
And all that I live for
And all that I'm going to be
My precious family
Is more than an heirloom to me

Wiseman and shepherds
Down on their knees
Bringing their treasures
To lay at his feet
Who was this wonder baby yet king
Living and dying
He gave life to me

Time never changes
The memory, the moment His love first pierced through me
Telling all that I come from
And all that I live for
And all that I'm going to be
My precious savior
Is more than an heirloom to me

My precious Jesus Is more than an heirloom to me
