lyrics

Tall trees surround the rows of benches in the grove.
Our tender eyes gaze beyond the good reverend.
A soft breeze moves through, rustling pages.
My eyes gaze at the sunlight on the lake.

Sunday afternoon and
We are dressed in skirts with flowers and shirts with collars.
The Reverend winds up to do his rooster imitation.
His 85-year-old neck craning and
the skin on his skinny arms flapping back!
He was crowing to us, calling to us, calling us
to lift every voice and sing,
at chapel every morning,
Bible study every afternoon,
and devotion every night.

My heart was as wide as a silver river then
and spilled towards what promised bigger.
Flowed to seas, each drop in me wanting to fall, fall into vast.
I simply wanted Jesus to be my friend.
And inwardly, I held his hand his so tight.
I was 5 and held his hand.
I was 6, 7, 8 and 9 and held his hand so tight.
10, 11, 12, 13, God protect me.
Chapel every morning, Bible study every afternoon,
devotions, devotion…Jesus be my friend.
14, 15 and 16 and inwardly I held his hand so tight.
And my eyes gazed past the Reverend to the waves on the lake.

I was 16 when the Reverend lowered me
into the tender waters.
Kissed by God that bright summer morning,
I lift every voice in me.
