Analysis of Cherish
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
Our day has come,
All our battles have been won.
No need to strive for worldly greed,
All good things through Him received.
Truth:
We must face the foe,
Into our hearts we must let Him go.
Spirit searchers
With the light
Eyes of
Fire
Pure
Delight
Cast's out all
No Canaanite.
If we go with the flow,
And get in the know,
No longer will life be boring.
Like a babe on His back,
You can ride the wind,
Even when your snoring!
No more dull--know it all's
Trying to find answers
Take each day as it comes.
It's so much fun...
Praising Him for the answers.
What puzzles me though
Is all the rejection?
He's pure and good
And full of affection.
What has he done?
To drive us away..
Return through His Son
He made the way.
