Lily


In the vast valley, amongst the high mountains
In a foreign land across the sea
Where grass waves with the wind
God planted a seed for me
Daily He waters the delicate seed
She slowly develops within the earth
Soon He will allow her soil to become dry
And uproot her and send her across the sea to me
Here I wait to plant her roots in my soil
To water her in my own fields
With my apricot blossom she will grow
I will watch her grow and flower
Waiting, I pray for my precious lily blossom
