The Farthest Field
03:31
|
|||
|
There is a land high on a hill where I am going
There is a voice that calls to me
The air is sweet, the grasses wave
The wind is blowing away up in the farthest field
REFRAIN:
Oh walk with me and we will see the mystery revealed
When one day we went our way up to the farthest field
The sun will rise, the sun will set
Across the mountains and we will live with beauty there
The fragrant flowers the days and hours
Will not be counted and peaceful songs will fill the air
REFRAIN
I know one day I’ll leave my home
Here in this valley and climb up to that field so fair
And when I’m called and counted in
That final tally I know that I will see you there
REFRAIN
Oh my dear friends I truly love
To hear your voices lifted up in radiant song
Though through the years we all have made our separate choices
We’ve ended here where we belong.

And you must build this world from love... yai dai dai
And if we build this world from love... yai dai dai
Then G-d will build this world from love... yai dai dai

From Seedtime through Harvest
We’re partners with the land
We all share a vision
Of wholeness and release
Where every child is nourished
And we all live in peace

May the work I do speak for me
May the words I speak speak for me
May the path I walk speak for me
May the land I tend speak for me
