Boundless Gratitude: Songs of the month

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

This is a song that I wrote as a way of passing on what I had learned from my mother to my own children.

There is hatred in this world my child,
Yes, bitter angry people
Who would hurt you for meanness and jealousy.
You must purge those feelings from yourself
Keep your counsel with the Lord
Just be firm in faith and He shall set you free.
Just be firm in faith and He shall grant you wisdom peace and love.
Just be firm in faith and He shall set you free.

Chorus:
Don’t spend your time where folks don’t want to see you.
Dontcha force yourself on hostile company.
Either go where you find love or just go it alone
And your heart will bring forth wonders, you shall see.

Don’t let fears and worries keep you from pursuing
All the loves and lights that sparkle in your dreams.
Just do unto all you meet as you’d have them do to you
And you’ll never want for anything, trust me.

Chorus

I won’t always be here singing this song for you.
Come a time when you must sing it on your own.
But every time you do, know I’ll be singing it with you.
So remember now, where ever you may roam…

Chorus
