In the fresh early morning
while the dew hangs heavy in the air
November air
I was looking for an answer
that would make me a survivor here
I couldn’t help but stare
Cause the trees were all singing
of a slow steady wisdom
that was
before the earth
The lines in the face
of the mountains far away
stared me down
with so little change
They said
Abide
like branches in the vine
evergreen trees all the time
though the seasons change
though the seasons change
Other trees
may fall around us
wind and flame and rain surround us
in Your love our souls remain
in Your love our souls remain
Have you heard the sparrows singing
have you seen them pulling worms up in the rain?
Are you still afraid?
From the gentle hand of Papa
comes the breath that proves His grace
don’t be afraid
And the trees were all singing
of a slow steady Word
that is
with God
Those lines in the face
of the mountains far away
still stare me down
with so little change
