TITLE: GOLDEN BEACH

PAINTED BY: JIM BEHLEN, JR

GOLDEN BEACH

THE GOLDEN BEACH WHERE BATHERS PLAY,

AND RUN FROM THE OCEAN'S FOAM.

REMINDS ME OF MY HOMELAND,

TO WHICH, I SHALL SOON ROAM.

THE OCEAN'S ROAR, ITS SPEEDING WAVES

RUSH AGAINST THE SANDY SHORES,

AND CRASH AGAINST THE SOLID ROCK

THAT STOPS THEM FROM DASHING ASHORE.

THE SOLID ROCK AGAINST WHICH IT HITS,

IS PUT THERE FOR A PURPOSE, YOU SEE.

IT IS TO PROTECT THE LAND FROM EROSION,

AND HOLDS BACK THE RAGING SEA.

THE GOLDEN BEACH UPON WHICH YOU STAND,

IS SO BEAUTIFUL TO GAZE UPON.

FOR ITS GRAND MAGNIFICENCE,

REMINDS ME OF SOMEONE.

THE GOLDEN BEACH IS SO GLORIOUS,

THE ROCK IS WONDROUS, TOO,

FOR THE ROCK IS OUR PROTECTION,

PROTECTION FOR ME AND FOR YOU.

THERE IS THE ROCK OF AGES,

WHO DOES CLEFT FOR US ALL,

IF WE BELIEVE IN JESUS,

HE SHALL KEEP US FROM THE FALL.

THE GOLDEN BEACH PERSONIFIES

HIS BEAUTY, HIS DEITY, DIVINE,

THE ROCK SIGNIFIES HIS PROTECTION,

OF THOSE WHO ACCEPT HIS GRAND DESIGN.
