lyrics
GIVE US THESE THINGS
(Strider/Burch)
Give us some wings to carry a mother’s prayer
To heavenly scenes
With children in angel’s care
Give us a plow and we’ll lighten a farmer’s load
We’ll wipe his brow
And take him down an easier road
Give Us These Things
Send them today
Give Us These Things
Help us we pray
Give us the eyes
And we’ll see a better land
Past fears and lies
We’ll begin to understand
Give us the ears
and we’ll hear creation’s cry
Through all these years
Begging us, give love a try
Give Us These Things
Send them today
Give Us These Things
Help us we pray
(Instrumental solo: viola - Novi Novog)
Give Us These Things
Send them today
Give Us These Things
Help us we pray___
