Consider

consider the lilies...He said on a hill
day fading to twilight I always will
consider the lilies

and there they are 
like stars in bloom
and there they grow

beyond the tomb
consider the lilies.
they shine in the places

where he was
the lilies so dear so loved by God
as we ourselves

in the lonely fields
as we ourselves
when all is revealed

we are the lilies
so cherished by God
we are the lilies

and shine for love
consider condider the lilies.
