Oh Very Young

Oh very young 

What will you leave us this time 

You're only dancing on this earth for a short while 

And though your dreams may toss and turn you now 

They will vanish away like your daddy's best jeans 

Denim Blue fading up to the sky 

And though you want them (HIM)to last forever 

You know they (HE) never will 

You know they (HE) never will 

And the patches make the goodbye harder still 

  

Oh very young 

What will you leave us this time 

There'll never be a better chance to change your mind 

And if you want this world to see a better day 

Will you carry the words of love with you 

Will you ride the great white bird into heaven 

And though you want to last forever 

You know you never will 

You know you never will 

And the goodbye makes the journey harder still 

  

Oh very young 

What will you leave us this time 

You're only dancing on this earth for a short while 

Oh very young 

What will you leave us this time

Morning Has Broken

Morning has broken, like the first morning.

Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird.

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning,

Praise for them springing fresh from the Word.


Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlight from heaven.

Like the first dewfall, on the first grass.

Praise for the sweetnes of the wet garden,

Sprung in completeness where His feet pass.


Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning.

Born of the one light Eden saw play.

Praise with elation, praise every morning;

God's recreation of the new day.


Morning has broken, like the first morning.

Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird.

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning,

Praise for them springing fresh from the Word.
