Earth and Sky

Oh when the sun behind the clouds is inching towards the hills,
 Let earth and sky be glorified, may people do God’s will.
Oh when the grass is rippling high and birds begin to sing,
 Let all peek out from underneath the Lord Almighty’s wing.
 Oh when the rainbow sky appears and we send our minds afloat,
 Let us sail with the clouds above in a remembrance boat.
 And when we think back to old times until the sunset ends,
 Let us also remember those so true and loyal friends.
Friends that will be there through times good and bad until to death they fall
Friends who’ve been with us over every obstacle, over every brick wall.
 Oh when this life comes to an end and we ride to the Lord,
 Let us forget the times on earth of famine, darkness, sword.
 Oh when the sun behind the clouds is rising to the sky,
 Let wash away the memories of misery and sighs.
 Oh life is sweet on earth below, but wait till we do see
 Each child of God in heav’n above perched sweetly on His knee.
