If not for the bird songs
My mind would be lost
With all the changes
With all the strangeness
If not for the fairy fireflies
I would have lost the wonder
My mind torn asunder
I would have gone under
If not for the thunder
I would make the blunder
Of sinking in sadness
Being blind to the gladness
If not for your smile
I would have dwelt a long while
In a pit of despair
Might have torn out my hair
If not for your kindness
I’d live only in blindness
A desert of dryness
So listless and lifeless
If not for God’s comfort
My life would be forfeit
My joy would be dormant
My thoughts tending morbid
O, the greatness of God,
Who lifts up the lowly,
Who brightens our story;
Let us give Him the glory!
