Tongue tied, nerves as big as boulders
|
Why Mom, I thought I was your soldier
|
My brother sits by me
|
Buckled into the carseat
|
|
Feel the thirst, it's time for pulling over
|
Into the truckstop on my daddy's shoulder
|
Out back where they plant all the trees
|
ten feet away my daddy buries me
|
|
GOD'S PRESENTS
|
|
If my path be smooth or rugged
|
If with thorns or roses strewn
|
Where I go the Father seeith
|
And He will leave me not alone
|
|
If I take the wings of morning
|
far within the giant sea
|
Even there His hand will leave me
|
Even there my God will be
|
|
Though the gloom of night be round me
|
Though I cannot see my way
|
Yet the Lord will see and guide me
|
Because unto Him the night is day
|
|
If my thought are good or evil
|
Set me think to hide them not
|
there is one above all seeing
|
And He beholdth every thought
|
|
And ever more my eyes beholds me
|
And all my ways to Him are known
|
And His loving arms enfolds me
|
He will leave me not alone
