If Nothing Else

If Nothing Else

(by me, June, 2004 - the link leads to the MP3 version)

I saw a man who went up to the mountain
A crowd had followed him to hear him speak;
He looked at us, a billion strong and then
He began to talk of the blessed and the meek

You are salt,
You are light
A shining hill cannot hide
So shine your light, shine it to the world

He said if nothing else
All our time is borrowed
Consider even the lilies have their home
So if nothing else
Leave your cares to tomorrow
Each day brings enough of its own.

I saw a smiling girl, she was struggling to her feet
He came to her and gently took her hand
He carried her, leaving footprints on the beach
She asked him why he took her from the sand

You are salt,
You are light
A shining hill cannot hide
So shine your light, shine it to the world

He said if nothing else
All our time is borrowed

Consider even the lilies have their home
So if nothing else
Leave your cares to tomorrow
Each day brings enough of its own.

I saw a man we followed to Gethsemane
He said the hour has come, yet you will all be mine;
His friend drew a sword, and cut away my ear
He healed my wounds then told me it was time.

You are salt,
You are light
A shining hill cannot hide
So shine your light, shine it to the world

He said if nothing else
All our time is borrowed
Consider even the lilies have their home
So if nothing else
Leave your cares to tomorrow
Each day brings enough of its own.
