James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Elegiac Lyric

Lord You Are Tried and True

I moved the mountain,
and all I have left is the valleys;
I filled the valleys
with love and manna from above;

So I'm yearning, but yet I'm learning
Lord to depend on you
and only you
you who are tried and true;

I moved the hills
and all I have left are the rivers and streams;
I crossed the rivers waters parted and I led my people through;

Still yearning, but continually learning
Lord to depend on you
and only you
only you
Lord your tried and true

I stood on the edge of the universe;
and I moved the planets and stars;
Lord I depend on you
and only you
only you and you, only you will do

I've crossed across galaxies;
and still have the victories;
Still yearning, but continually learning
Lord to depend on you
and only you
only you
Lord your tried and true
