The One Thing Is Three
[My new lyrics about St. Clare,
to the tune of "One Gift" ---
from Disney's "Sleeping Beauty"]
One gift, beauty rare
Seeing God's Beauty everywhere
Lips that praise that Jesus rose
She'll walk with the Lord wherever she goes
One gift, the gift of song
Praising the Lord her whole life long
St. Francis is her troubadour
Providing a way to her new home's door
One gift, the gift of prayer
Knowing God, Who is always there
Peace of heart in His chaste Love
Lives in Poverty with Providence from above
(Original lyrics:
"One gift, beauty rare,
Gold of sunshine in her hair,
Lips that shame the red, red rose,
She'll walk with springtime wherever she goes!
One gift, the gift of song,
Melody her whole life long!
The nightingale's her troubadour,
Bringing his sweet serenade to her door...")
