Hymn (Lord, I Need Time)

Where the fallen leaves from the willow tree
Sparkle in the morning light
I braided grass and finally asked if
I could fall in love with you

There’s a stream that’s flowing past the Whitney farm
And we walked until we could walk no more
And there we stood at the edge of earth
Hallelujah, it’s done

I’m singing oh, I need time
My Lord, I need time
All I have I’d give to you
Hallelujah, it’s done

There’s a cardinal singing in the willow tree
And we watched as the sun caught on fire
And as it burned you said to me
You are all that I desire

I’m thinking oh, I need time
My Lord, I need time
All I have I’d give to you
Hallelujah, it’s done
We’re singing Lord, we need time
My Lord, I need time
All I touch will sleep in dirt
Hallelujah, no more hurt

Oh, I breathe you in, you’re all I need
Flesh and bone pressed up against me
Your eyes were an ocean, hair made of gold
I heard God say, "Child, welcome home"
I said, "Halle, hallelujah"
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
