The wind is in the willow
the dew is on the ground
God is in His heaven and
His peace is all around.
The wind is in the willow
the dew is on the ground
God is in His heaven and
His peace is all around.
Seems I have walked too many miles
In search of friendship, happy smiles
I’ve traveled half this world and wide
To seek the truth that’s deep inside,
That kindness opens any door
And love abides forevermore.
I am this person old and gray
Who’s reaching out to you today
I beg you please to take my hand
I’ll lead you through God’s promised land.
The trees are tall, the flowers sweet
God’s goodness shines on every street
The weather’s neither hot nor cold
It takes forever to grow old.
There are no wars or pestilence
And folks possess good commom sense
What can this be, you ask of me
My dear, it’s God’s heredity !
Oh where, oh where has Johnny gone
Is he back home upon the farm
Or has he found another way
To guide his life from day to day ?
What do you seek my darling boy
To help you more your life enjoy
What wonder is there left for you
Or miracles that you may do ?
I pray you give it greater thought
That in the web you won’t be caught
And render unto God your King
Obedience in everything !
I look around what do I see
A world that’s built on fantasy
It’s all about the vampire’s touch
Super heroes, witches and such.
While Spiderman or rich Bruce Wayne
Are concepts both wild and insane
Star Wars, Aliens and Doctor Who
Bewitched, Bedazzled, through and through.
I find my world is quite enough
I’m not yet ready for this stuff
I fear for what may be in store
Seems true, nothing’s real any more !
