not in vain oh Lord have I planted my small flag
and housed myself under the underpass
when the storms flew over me, in Your care
aware of your presence and of little else
and You and the angel of death passing over me
was no castastrophe.
no small flag have I planted.
the hill was vast I climbed alone
and it has grown
mountain sized
oh realize I loved only You
though all the earth should pass
I plant my small flag
and know that it will last
though the earth slides off
its axis
and falls off spinning
when all of this has passed.
