God Loans us Children

God Loans us Children


Come away sweet love,
golden morning breaks.
No rush, honor beauty,
laugh at life's surprises.
Watch leaves dance in wild winds.
Our hourglass overflows,
hungry bodies linger in loving bliss.

Come away sweet love,
life is full of wondrous joys.
Delight in sunrises of rubies and gold,
behold power of magnificent seas
given for us to tame and enjoy.
All this, yet promised
the best is still to come.

Come away sweet love,
our souls join, perfect symphony.
God bestows to us
James, son of Autumn.
He is strong and beautiful,
a new oak with deep roots.
A loving, confident child
destined to be a magnificent man.
