One Heart

Pained life is ebbing
Long toil is ceasing
One more step
Now it becomes clear

Came the morning sun
And the pain was fled
At last she could run

And a memory
Of long ago
Was swiftly returned

As the garden trail
Unwound ahead
At last she could see
The singer of her heart's song
Waiting for her

Even then He smiled
And the music filled her silent spaces
Welling up and wild
Sent the darkness of her soul
Fleeing far

All the bitterness gone
All the sorrow has sped
And taken the dread

So far from her mind
That the years were unkind
As the singer revealed
Her heart's desires

Even then He smiled
And the music filled her silent spaces
Welling up and wild
Sent the darkness of her soul
Fleeing far

He could sing
For He knew every note of her

Just then she realized
That this beauty was meant only for her
Just for her!
So she danced down the trails as the day passed

Who has heard, the wind that stirred
Through branches of a tree
Whose very name is Life?
Here He has walked
In splendor through the ages

Came the twilight dreams of an evening fair
As the coolness crept through the scented air
And her heart was glad and free from care
For He knew her wish and her every prayer

Here, one heart is whole at last
Now, one heart, once torn, recast
Here, one heart may sing at last
Now, one heart forgets the past
