Song Description

Why not let life unfold as it will?

Lyrics

Let the story tell itself
Let it do so in my hearing
Let it find its unlined space
And let me be the clearing

Time what's so found its sound
Spoke its own words
It might light upon me singing
A wing, a song, a bird

And there'll be no need to hide
But a coming to the open
Its safety my deepest pride
Its trust my highest hoping

So let the story tell itself
And listening be my prayer

In that small plainspoken voice
So easily drowned out
That found-out child of playful choice
Too often frowned away

So may the story tell itself
And give forgiveness sweet and rare
May the story tell itself
And listening be my prayer
