| | And so I sit at my desk with pen in my hand.
The days of the past and the days at hand, and even those yet to come are echoing in my soul.
There have been days where I have played as a child;
Splashing in the water, lying in the sun, running through the grass with my friends.
And I look upon these days with such a longing delight--How these days have been So Good.
Then there have been days as cold and dead as the midnight, where I have known the warmth of Love & Friendship light upon me as bright as the noonday.
I have sat in front of fires in the forest & felt as weathered & ancient as the Oak trees about me,
And I have known deep fellowship to burn within my heart like the fire blazing before me.
And I look upon these days with such a longing delight--How these days have been So Good.
Now there have been days when my ears have heard the gladdening sound of Glory to the Lord.
I have heard His children sing with union of heart;
I have heard them proclaim the Bounty of His Grace--O How I hear them tell of the Goodness of the Lord!
And I look upon these days with such a longing delight--How these days have been So Good.
So Even, Shall there be days unto the Honor of the Lord,
And He will make His people play, & He will make His people sit & weep--
He will make them know youth, & He will make them know age;
They will be young & they will be old throughout the moments of their lives.
So they will look back & know the Lord's Everlasting Faithfulness toward them,
And they will sing as the Morning Stars sang on the day the World was given Life.
O They will sing of His Gory; they will sing of His Grace; they will sing of His Right Arm.--
Yes, we will tell of the Goodness of the Lord: As we play & as we sit; As we rise & as we fall; As we join with one another & as we go our separate ways.
In this, the Lord shall be Our Glory, & the Lord shall be Our Rock & Shelter;
He shall guide us as Our Shepherd & we shall be Eternally Satisfied.
And I look upon these days with such a longing delight--How these days have been So Good.
