Thy Will Be Done

In our orchard stands a tree, it provides for all who need
It’s shade cools us in the heat, it houses jaybirds that sing us asleep
My Great-Grandfather knew it’s strength, he hung himself from a limb and our
Tree did not break
Thy Will Be Done
On our east side grow our fields, every season their harvest yields
We’ve alfalfa, flax, and maize, it has lasted through our days
When the rains fall sinkholes occur, my Uncle found one and got crushed
Beneath our best tractor
Thy Will Be Done
Thy Will Be Done, Thy Will Be Done!
Our west acres hold a lake, from this fountain fish we take
It does water all our land, teach our children it’s goodness -- they understand
In the winter it does freeze, my daughter went skating too close to the coming
Of spring
Thy Will Be Done
