Father

Out in the garden

seeds in a line

See the sun harden

sweat and sunshine

Blessed assurance,

see the sun shine

oh what concurrence

of spirits divine

patience and blindness

lost in his love

he taught me fondness

to things up above

This was his story

this was his song

praising his savior

all the day long

Yet do I wonder

is he even there

how do I ponder

a gleam in the air

Feeling a presence

an essence a hint,

a hope.

He lives within my heart.
