Blessed Banner You Carry Forth

Blessed Banner You Carry Forth I was lost in field of dreams, An echo in howling night winds: I found my way again despite, dark and gnarly twisting bends, of shrill lost cries giving deep fright. You alone, lit my long path,- from whence you came I do not know: In darkness, your light begs of me set about with heart in tow, receive fruit of my precious tree. Following love's sweet embrace, BLESSED BANNER YOU CARRY FORTH,- That paradise soon to be found, signals- from star of the North shining down with heavenly sound. I was lost in field of dreams, darling, you alone, lit my path, Following love's sweetest embrace- we hold life, devoid of wrath proving hope for the human race. Robert J.
