The perfect way!
He is behind the sun
And in this place
he that is evil runs
His kindly face
is all we need, for one
And then we’ll stay
when we are told, “Well done.”
We’re high!
Like on the highest hill
So high!
But we’ll go higher still!
This is not time to complain or
murmuring, even to friends
We must keep learning
And must keep working
We’re near the end!
Nearing the end
Though we’re alone in this training
And for this we have been sent
We must keep earning
Though there’s no church since
it is the end
This is the end!
Everywhere rain!
But we work through the mud
There’s been more pain
something to do with floods
Still in the race
with a great coach with love
We haven’t faced
bodily harm and blood
From here
we feel the peace of Spring
It’s clear:
knowing that he is King!
And now my body is bent and
all of my thoughts have been spent
Though I am injured
I am still in this
here at the end!
Near to the end!
With the great trumpet I’ll let up
since I am here for my friend
I am still fit to
be his good witness
here near the end
We’re near the end!
The perfect way!
He is behind the sun
And in his space
we’ll be together! One!
