Moments
by Tanya Goodman Sykes

Album: Innocent Eyes

I turn in the drive
I can see the smoke rising
Curling against the sky
There's a fire in the hearth
And a lotta warm hearts
Drawing me inside
Suppertime chatter
Passing the platter
Who's turn is it to say grace
I sure hope it's mine
Lord knows I'm grateful
I'd just like to say thanks

These are the moments I live for
When I know that my struggles
Have not been in vain
To see my love reflected
In the ones that I love
Gathered around at the close of the day
These are the moments I live for
The moments that time can't erase

Me and the girls
Are all curled up tonight
Warmed in the glow of the firelight
I read from Your Word
A story they've heard
And loved so many times
They're getting older
And coming much closer
To knowing who You really are
I'm not surprised
To see tears in their eyes
They want to ask You into their hearts

These are the moments I live for
When I know that my struggles
Have not been in vain
To see my love reflected
In the ones that I love
Gathered around at the close of the day
These are the moments I live for
The moments that time can't erase

And the peace that You give
Covers us as we pray
And ask You, Lord
For one more day

I know these must be
The moments You died for
When You know that Your suffering
Has not been in vain
To see Your love reflected
In the ones that You love
Gathered around at the close of the day
These must be the moments You died for
The moments when we find Your grace
I know these are the moments I live for
The moments that time can't erase
