i wanna lay down
where it's comfortable and warm,
and the levers do no harm,
where the meek and poor delight.
won't You lay me in the light.
i wanna close my
soiled eyes to the world,
where we toil for reward,
and acquire wealth and might.
won't You lay me in the light.
i wanna sleep where
the choir softly sings,
and men don't make machines,
The King of Peace Reigns High.
won't You lay me in the light.

@fieldsr71 hey, thanks. i saw your comment on newlight, too. i like this song, it's really simple and honest and um...effortless, lol.

It always amazes me how much a voice and an instrument can express!

Sounds like u got the gifts: singing, playing... writing some unique rhymes!

"Where the levers do no harm" and "and men don't make machines" caught my attention and kick-started the engine of my imagination.

We're so concerned about complicated outside things we (think we) need that we often forget the simplest,most important one: we're made of Love (=God), that's what we need to learn and give.

God bless u!

Thumb up+fav.

@danbergam thanks for that. it's a pretty weary song, but it's also a tiring world, and that's what i was trying to get at. i like this song because it's simple.
