Life's Time

Over the hills down the plain,
 The breath of the land and the smell of grain
 See the horizon afar
 My heart beats with awe of you

 The hand that holds the secret of man
 The depth of the earth and the rise of the sky
 The beauty of our world
 And the mystery of life

 A hand so great and the power of flight
 One drifts afloat searching the way
 But God is there and with his hand of love & happiness
 So with trust we must look above

 The kindness of your heart and the look in your eye
 The sweetness of touch and the feeling of warmth
 The love call of the bird and the bark of the dog
 The green of the tree and the spread of the land

 The cry of the child and its arms upheld,
 The angel of mercy protecting us all
 The meaning of life with the help of the Lord,
 The joy of the world, we shall never be alone.
