Well, said Luke after bravely drying his tears (after a soaker induced by a big
bump from little sister while he proudly filled the bird-bath) ‘this is the way
life works…sometimes when you pour water you get wet!”
Well, this is the way life works, love
Water makes us wet
And whatever seed we plant, love
Is the plant we get
If we eat too much too much, love
There's ‘too much’ of us
If we overlook God’s love, love
We will fret and fuss
If we want to be ‘nice old folk’
We must be nice young
If we want to keep the peace, love
We must bite our tongue
If we leap before we look, love
We deserve disgrace
If we want to win the prize, love
We must run the race
Yes, this is the way life works, love
We reap what we sow
And the more we learn, we learn, love
How little we know
But one thing is sure and certain
God’s grace grants each day
Aren't you glad, so sweetly glad, love
That life works this way?
