Come walk along with
me on St Patty's day my lad
for I have a bunch
of good old love to give..
For you to find the more,
To seek, I found it isna' wise
to go beyond, where it
be of good to reach,
or 'tis true that you
may stumble down and fall,
being tempted then
to take the shortest route
and miss your highest
call.
You needna' push
too fast, as your heart ne'er keep the
pace
for shattered will
be the dreams to be a-comin' true,
So go careful now,
keep hold the truth that's pure
to remember all the
hope you knew.
Be sure then, to ne'er
let the wind blow clear away
all that you
treasure of divine,
'Tis imperative to
hold firm, all the things that last for e're
that are far more
worth the climb.
For it is not worth grippin'
onto such as is passin'
all that will be swept
away, in swirlin' winds of time,
They ne'er will matter
in the end my lad
in the heavenly
Father's good design.
But, most
important, ne'er forget my lad, you are so
very loved
so don'na go a-listenin'
to all the many lies,
God made your soul
complete, to live forever
you're e'er so
precious in His eyes.
And now then, old
Grandpappy says,
there's the sweet surprise,
A happy St Patty day for you and yours
whene're the sun doth rise.
