George Eid – Consider the Lilies Lyrics

Watching your home burn to the ground from the wrong side of the county line
They can question the tree and the truth of its sound, but there's no doubt of the fire in Your eyes
You built that house with your own hands, its roots dug deeper than the basement
Flames and smoke dance in dissonance juxtaposed to the field where you lament
The new ranch sat flat on a country hill, full of rooms and rails and made safe from fire
But now that your bed is half empty nights are long and dark as funeral attire
They folded the flag, fired the guns, while your kids sang Amazing Grace
It was all so much to happen at once, settling into this cold dead place

But don't you worry about tomorrow
Tomorrow will worry about itself
Don't you worry about tomorrow
Each day has enough trouble of its own

Consider the lilies all dressed anew
Don't let your faith wither, heaven hears you
Look at the birds, they're always fed
Don't think of this earth as cold and dead
In a hundred years you'll have a mansion
With a belvedere; on a river, mellifluous

When peace like a river attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul
