Tall Trees We Were Under

Tall Trees We Were Under

Wanted to go some place but not sure
So then we did decide to take a detour
Going on great ride through countryside
Where farmers with all their fields abide.

What we saw was such a pretty scene
Calm, peaceful, quiet and quite serene
Which we willingly would approve of
And with it we both fell deeply in love.

River ran through area bright and clear
Such a true blessing for us to be near
From God, all of this had been a gift
Each of our souls and spirits did uplift.

A small church in valley soon would see
Where each Sunday people wanted to be
In God's presence knowing He was there
To remove all our sins and deep despair.

Church was result of God's great wonder
All among tall trees that we were under
Prepared place in heart for Him to live.
Out to everyone His word we did give.
