Feet o' Jesus
Sorrow like a sea
Lordy, let yo' mercy
Come driftin' down on me
At the feet o' Jesus
And yo' feet I stand.
O, ma little Jesus
Please reach out yo' hand.
g o d
I am God--
Without one friend,
Alone in my purity
World without end.
Below me young lovers
Tread the sweet ground--
But I am God--
I cannot come down.
Spring!
Life is love!
Love is life only!
Better to be human
Than God-- and lonely.
motto
I play it cool
I dig all jive
That's the reason
I stay alive
My motto
As I live and learn
Is dig and be dug in return.
in time of silver rain
In time of silver rain
The earth puts forth new life again,
Green grasses grow
And flowers lift their heads,
And over all the plain
The wonder spreads
Of Life,
Of Life,
Of Life!
In time of silver rain
The butterflies lift silken wings
To catch a rainbow cry,
And trees put forth new leaves to sing
In joy beneath the sky
As down the roadway
Passing boys and girls
Go singing, too,
In time of silver rain When Spring
And life
Are new.
