and took my soul by surprise. My heart was refreshed by excitement as I caught the light in those eyes . In my days of distress: a comfort at dangerous points, He was there. But during that time He kept secret a wonderful answer to prayer . Unknown to me He had planned it and with a chuckle He gave. From His storehouse of Treasure He planted a mysterious seed of love. . Then at the right time it sprouted, I gasped with joy and delight, Its fruit I have tasted a little; But to ripen it still needs His light. . O yes the Lord is mighty and mighty things He has done, but He does not neglect the lonely and kindly provides them with fun. . And Oh yes , I knew there were dangers, the fruit could sour to the taste and boughs turn to prickles and hurt me and my life be consigned to a waste. .

Then retaining the glow we'll go out and show. Girded in truth you will be with a band of white and no kind of fright: Your spirit will then be free . Chorus |
