MEADOW LARK
         
          Alone - I traipse through grasses green
          Smelling flowers - picking heathers
          The sun smiling warmly
          As I dance with its rays in the meadow
          Graceful - demure
          A child - a tiny lass
          Whispering gleefully to the birds on the wing
          Barefoot and frolicking
          Alone with God's creatures
          Joyous - companion to His beauty
          Singing lilting melodies of love
          His love for me and mine for him
          Oblivious to life surrounding

          Lost in His meadow of love and tranquility
          Dancing as a ballet to His watchful eye
          I - as a songbird - a cheerful lark
          Rejoicing in His mercies as I sing a thankful song
          The brook - a toy between my toes
          The grass - a carpet on which to dance
          The sky - all heaven beholding
          The trees - swaying to my song of great love
          A meadow lark am I this day
          Young and carefree - for He carries them all
          To Him be my glorying
          To Him be my love
          Oh, I skip and play amongst the buttercups
          But, if I were a meadow lark
          I could fly with all power
          And soar with all grace
          I could float in the clouds and dance with the stars
          I am my Beloved's and He, my Lord, is mine
          Oh, let me sing a new song of love
          Unto my Lord - my Savior above.
