Lilies in the Field
Colleen Livingston
I’ve walked among the valleys,
And have seen the darkest death.
I’ve paraded with the lilies,
And have tasted final breath.
I would not ask the one I love,
To suffer as I first did.
But now this final hour comes,
When love shines final bid.
I came down straight from heaven,
To show how much I love.
But now this hour comes at last,
When saints shall rise above.
A cast upon the lilies,
Vastly growing in the fields.
Awake now my pure beauty,
Align to march the final seal.
The waves have crashed,
Upon the shores.
I’ve opened up the wells.
Now open up I stand behind,
I’m waiting at the door.
Listen closely with an ear,
To do as I first willed.
And all will come to bliss at last,
Your hearts with love be filled.
I cast upon the bed this night,
Sweet lilies from the fields.
I’ve given you a chance at last,
To bow as I did yield.
