Upon the Rock, Upon His Heart

There amidst the vineyard, people worked and children played With the harvest soon to come, he used this chance to slip away So much to see. The blossoms filled the morning air He picked a few and with his mother he would share The rocks were jagged, playful frolic, injured so He sat upon a rock and its future he didn't know There light upon the boy, upon his heart, upon the rock T'ward heaven did he gaze, he did not ever want to stop My son, this is the place, yes the place you need to go When soldiers come to claim you for the sins of every soul
