It's strange how just a maple tree
Some shade, some flowers, seem
To be the whole world to someone
And how they fit the scheme.
For relaxation, ease of pain
For certain peace of mind
Is in my back yard garden
I will find it every time.
Dear God, Grant me the power
That I, In my humble worth,
Do only good for others
In my time here on this earth.
Make me see the good in all
So that my heart is pure,
As I walk along this path with you
My footsteps most secure
Let me enjoy the beauty found
In this great world of ours,
And wonder at your wisdom
As you balance life and powers.
And when it comes my time to leave
To find that other shore,
May only kind words echo back
As I walk through that door
We've planted every tiny bulb
With both our hearts laid bare.
And we've enjoyed our labors fruits
In the sweet and scented air.
And somewhere, dreams may yet unfold
Our minds can go for peace.
Or walk the pathways of a soul
To give ones heart its ease.
Dear God, Grant me the power
That I, In my humble worth,
Do only good for others
In my time here on this earth.
Make me see the good in all
So that my heart is pure,
As I walk along this path with you
My footsteps most secure
Let me enjoy the beauty found
In this great world of ours,
And wonder at your wisdom
As you balance life and powers.
And when it comes my time to leave
To find that other shore,
May only kind words echo back
As I walk through that door
Yes, when it comes my time to leave
To find that other shore,
May only kind words echo back
As I walk right through that door
Oooo oooo oooo
