“The Length of the Day”

The length of the day,

Keeps carrying on,

On and on, along, along,

Through the tender blessing,

Of the guilder’s joyful song,

King Jesus, he opens us up,

To more distant horizons,

More profound wisdom,

More beauty in all we are presented with,

The lovely honey is in a state of grace,

A sensitive, young age,

Her heart on his page,

And in the heart that is beating,

To the drums and reverberations,

Of the redeemed and new era Israel,

The sound of the keys spinning the motor on,

The wheels that bend through the right on, right on,

The peace of the two of them,

The love and life that they spill into each other,

His heart that dwells with her,

As they bail in steady reapers,

To the sound of coming to perfect vision,

In the heart of the piano dynamic,

To the love, peace, and joyful resting,

Of the children,

In the length of the day.
