Sun Won’t Stop
Holly Near
Track 2 on Singer in the Storm
Children ran to the river bank
Left their shoes and swam toward the light
When dark came on and the dinner bell rang
The children were nowhere in sight
Only a shape, only a memory, only a shell
And the sun won’t stop for no one
Death paused on its weary way
Left the highway and stayed the night
When dawn came on and my mama rose
My daddy was nowhere in sight
Only a shape, only a memory, only a shell
And the sun won’t stop for no one
Who’s gonna hold my hand when I’m old
I’ll still have stories to tell
You will wish one day you had paused to listen
But I will be nowhere in sight
Only a shape, only a memory, only a shell
And the sun won’t stop for no one
Though below me, I feel no motion
Standing on these mountains and plains
Far away from the rolling ocean
Still my dry land heart can say
I ve been sailing all my life now
Never harbor or port have I known
The wide universe is the ocean I travel
And the earth is my blue boat home
Sun, my sail and moon, my rudder
As I ply the starry sea
Leaning over the edge in wonder
Casting questions into the deep
Drifting here with my ship s companions
All we kindred pilgrim souls
Making our way by the lights of the heavens
In our beautiful blue boat home
I give thanks to the waves upholding me
Hail the great winds urging me on
Greet the infinite sea before me
Sing the sky my sailor s song
I was born upon the fathoms
Never harbor or port have I known
The wide universe is the ocean I travel
And the earth is my blue boat home
Lovin Is Easy
Carsie Blanton
Track 4 on So Ferocious
I’m in love with you
But it’s all right
I fall in love nearly every night
And it fills up my heart
Til I can’t keep it in
So I hope you don’t mind if I say it again
I’m in love with you
But it’s okay
I fall in love almost every day
I’m in love with the boys
In the band down my street
And with every good poet I happen to meet
Cus lovin is easy as takin a breath
I’ll do it all day til the day of my death
I don’t wanna own you, you don’t have to stay
Just as long as I’ve known you I’ve wanted to say
I’m in love with you
Is that a sin?
Just look at the state that you’ve got me in
When I think of your hands
Of your eyes of your tongue
I get suddenly foolish and humble and young
Cus I’m in love with you honey
But don’t be afraid
I fell in love with the love that we made
But it’s none of my business if you could love me
You don’t have to earn it
I’m givin’ it free
Cus lovin is easy as takin a breath
I’ll do it all day til the day of my death
I don’t wanna own you, you don’t have to stay
Just as long as I’ve known you I’ve wanted to say
I’m in love with you
I’m in love with you
May ev’ryone ‘neath their Vine And Fig Tree
now live in peace and harmony
May ev’ryone ‘neath their Vine And Fig Tree
now live in peace and unafraid
And into plowshares beat their swords
Mankind shall study war no more
And into plowshares beat their swords
Mankind shall study war no more
May ev’ryone ‘neath their Vine And Fig Tree
now live in peace and harmony
May ev’ryone ‘neath their Vine And Fig Tree now live in peace and unafraid

A nation shall not raise
A sword against a nation
And they shall not learn
Any more war.

Trees of the Field [will Clap their Hands]
Artist: Bill & Gloria Gaither
Album: A Billy Graham Music Homecoming, Vol. 2
You shall go out with joy
And be led forth with peace
The mountains and the hills
Will break forth before you
There’ll be shouts of joy
And all the trees of the field
Will clap, will clap their hands
And all the trees of the field
Will clap their hands
The trees of the field
Will clap their hands
The trees of the field
Will clap their hands
While you go out with joy
