Our Favorite Things

This was so fun and effortless to write. Glad our lyrics blessed everyone. – Brad and Allison

Raindrops on roses

And whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles 

And warm woolen mittens

Brown paper packages tied up with string

These are a few of my favorite things.

 

Speaking in tongues when the Spirit baptizes

Learning old hymns that have lots of reprises.

Falling in love with the songs Darren sings.

These are a few of our favorite things!

 

Those poor Catholics! 

And those Christians,

They must feel so sad.

If only they’d learn to love our favorite things,

We know they would feel so glad!

 

Pastor John’s sermons and 

Gary’s songs bless us.

Fire-side mornings with scriptures to discuss

We are so grateful for what Jesus brings,

That’s why we sing of our favorite things.

 

North Carolina and all of its seasons,

Someday we’ll live here for all the right reasons.

We enjoy marriage and our wedding rings,

These are just more of our favorite things!

 

If we’re sinful,

Not repenting,

That makes us feel bad,

We fall on our face and cry out to our King,

And then we don’t feel so sad

 

More great musicians like Donna and Billy,

Make us shout praises like dear sister Willie,

Keeping us safe under God’s loving wing

We are so thankful for these precious things.

 

Betty and Earl tell their great testimonies

Young people also have their holy stories,

Jesus provides us with feelings He brings

Praise God we’re loving His favorite things!

 

When we’re lonely,

Missing family,

Sometimes feeling sad,

We simply rejoice in our favorite things,

And thank God for all we have
