Because I could not turn from You –

You kindly turned from me –

How great Thou art, how great Thou art –

Indoctrinacity.


My Neck was bent from looking up –

Instead I looked around –

The Heavens gave – I saw and stood

On firmer higher Ground –


Shopping for Joy, I often pay

The constant Sorrow Cost –

Seeking eternal GloryGain,

I find my Faith – in Loss –
