Ring those bells and hear His voice

(Based on readings in Psalm 100, Psalm 23 and Jeremiah 29:13-14a)

Ring those bells
Ring them loud and strong
filled with joy
and gladness

Hear those bells
in the stillness
of the night
in the clutter
of the day

Remember the promise
the bells
continually bring
I AM WITH YOU
I AM WITH YOU
I AM WITH YOU

Open the eyes of your heart
See God's glory all around
Hear the angels singing
Hallalujah to the King
and the bells of heaven
ringing strong, filled with joy
and gladness

Come into His Presence
with thanksgiving
and praise

The Lord
my Shepherd be
Giving me rest,
quiet moments,
guidance,
comfort,
protection

Listen! to the bells

Once you had sought and found
but now
I have been misplaced
and your searching
lays dim

Awaken! My child
and hear the bells
Seek Me again
and you will find
True Freedom
from all
that keeps you in captivity

Ring those bells
Ring them loud and strong
with joy and gladness
always remembering
I AM THE LORD
YOUR GOD
and
I AM WITH YOU
