As The Life Of A Flower

As The Life Of A Flower - Ray Walker

As the life of a flower

As a breath or a sigh

So the years that we live

As a dream hasten by

True today we are here

But tomorrow may see

Just a grave in the vale

And a memory of me

As the life

As the life

Of a flower

Of a flower

As a breath

As a breath

Or a sigh

Or a sigh

So the years

So the years

Glide away

Glide away

And alas

And alas

We must die

We must die

As the life of a flower

Be our lives pure and sweet

May we brighten the way

For the friends that we greet

And sweeting sense arise

From our hearts as we live

Close to him who doth teach us

To love and forgive

As the life

As the life

Of a flower

Of a flower

As a breath

As a breath

Or a sigh

Or a sigh

So the years

So the years

Glide away

Glide away

And alas

And alas

We must die

We must die

While we tarry below

Let us trust and adore

Him who leads us each day

Toward that radiant shore

Where the sun never sets

And the flowers never fade

Where no sorrow nor death

May it's borders invade

As the life

As the life

Of a flower

Of a flower

As a breath

As a breath

Or a sigh

Or a sigh

So the years

So the years

Glide away

Glide away

And alas

And alas

We must die

We must die
