new church bells in the new church
the days are kind of quiet in a small country town.
nothing much happens that would be called grand.
the peaceful serenity that the folks get used to
is about to be shattered by a grand clangging of bells.
today is sunday and the people gather 'round
to see a new building that is ready to be blessed.
a new church has been built and folks all over begin to cheer.
then the cheering subsides and the people wait.
they wait to hear the sound of something wonderful,
the sound of church bells ringing in the air.
the bells are sounded to the delight of all.
the sounds echoes through the valley.
nowhere is there a dry eye to be seen.
the glorious sound of new church bells
ringing from the top of the new church.
the congregation beging to move,
as they enter and sit in the new pews.
the minister stands proudly out in front
and gazes at his congregation.
they all know that the new church bells
signal a new day and a new life.
a new life for the faithful to gather together
and be blessed with hope and optimism.
