A Genevian Day of Perfection
There we were on holiday to a special land
Switzerland a place of beauty and history
staying in Wilderswil just outside Interlaken
this was going to be a very special story
This day we got on the Geneva-bound train
a journey across Switzerland 3 hours long
to the great city, we were bound for sure
so excited my heart was full of song
Since my conversion to believing in Christ
have read of the Lord's blessed reformation
in Geneva where He placed John Calvin
this great man faithfully preached God's salvation
The first day there to the Reformation wall
there stands Calvin, Farel, Beza and Knox
in statute formed of stone, they stand
reminders these men held the divine torch
Following back to St Peters Cathedral
in the city's old town it does stand
walking in you feel greatness lived there
looking to Calvin's pulpit here was God's hand
This day I won't ever forget it's special
see where my hero once did walk
a Genevian day of perfection as it was
remembering where Jesus once did rock!
(I've Chosen a day in my life when everything just went perfectly, especially unexpectedly. I have taken you to that day in the early 90s.)
