The Lily of the Valley

 

Know the past to know the present
Know the Lord to know the future
Most don’t know history and scriptures
so, they aren’t good citizens and Christians
and fail in their relationships
with both God and men and women

Even the rich know history
but they don’t know Jesus Christ
being too blind to scriptures
so, they all will be surprised
The prodigal son was like the poor man and he was
“dead, and lived again”
The older son was like the rich man to be so
“merry with my friends”

“I will walk before the face of Jehovah
in the land of the living
I believed; so, I speak
I was greatly afflicted
I said in my alarm,
All men are liars.”

Who will we join on to?

 



My eyes have seen with Christ’s humility
the cities will be tempting those in need
The broad way’s not for me
the cost is far too great
It tempts beyond compare
I’ll stick with him all day

I am on a very narrow path

The narrow path’s the only path for me
I’m on his back through all eternity
I’m walking on this street
and working in this place
As people stop and stare
I triple-task this way

I am on a very narrow path
In my heart I know I’ll not turn back

The highway is the right way, all can see
The prideful will be blind and, on their knees
Not boring, as most think
as all will be betrayed
The simple won’t beware
My very way will save

I am on a very narrow path
In my heart I know I’ll not turn back
Though men reject me, and women pass me
and God will test me, and things are bad
I am on a very narrow path

 



Is there one answer to all of our questions?
Is there one person that none would object to?
The lily of the valley

The answer is over our heads

Will we keep fighting? and cause aggravation?
Is there one leader accepted by nations?
The lily of the valley

The answer is over our heads

The answer is over our heads

Teachers and nurses are leaving positions in droves
We should treat these people with respect
or we won’t have any of them left
said the recluse of the mountain

Could all be wrong and just one man be perfect?
Would all accept that? and suddenly serve him?
The lily of the valley

The answer is over our heads

Well, rain a soft rain on the valley today
And let us have sunlight, anyway
