lyrics

Would that I remain
Before my days are gone
By a river flowing benevolent
Ever pure, ever long
And would that I remain there
Planted like the trees
Who in due season are
altruistic beings

Would that I remain true to all my past, to my heritage, my lineage
Leaving things that last
And would that I remain
With roots that grow so vast
Like the oaks innumerable
Weathering storms steadfast

Chorus:
Silence, Peace, Solace
Eludes me
Unless I remain
Within a sacred wood

Would that I remain
In natural boundary confined
At peace with the pace
of progress
As I’m grafted to the vine
And would that I remain
Ever growing still,
Always moving forward,
According to His will

Would that I remain
Content with all that I’m given
Despite this world’s philosophy
Despite all the attrition
And would that I remain
Blessed by Jehova Jireh
Ne’er in need of anything
Sabbath my only desire

(Chorus)

I feel my soul’s erosion
Unexposed to the sun
Overwhelmed by the darkness
Unspeakable horror of dying cold and alone

Cast me not away
Into barren and cursed land
I pray my life fruitful
That I delay the scythe in
your hand

(Chorus)
