Long Before--
Long Before--
It was long before the garden hoe,
That the ancients walked the earth,
Where together in groups they sauntered the land
Just to find a morsel to eat.
And these people who lived through wandering days.
Learned to hunt and gather their food.
Starting each day just after dawn,
Roaming freely on God’s land.
But the life that they lived, they lived to survive.
Hunting for food, roaming free.
Endlessly gathering berries and fruit.
Thankful were they for life.
