“These are rough times full of brokenness. Still, I’m going to build a new home: a small shed in our vegetable garden.The tears of weeping can become like drops of dew if you discover grace and all this delicate fingerpicking. Certainly when my Blueridge guitar is joining in.”
lyrics
(Music and lyrics by Paul Cherryseed)
As the dew begins to turn
Into showers upon the grass
What is left of me will learn
That the weeping soon will pass
‘cause in this field I found a room
The roof is leaking, it’s a dusty shed
The door is busted, can’t find no broom
With rocks and leaves I build my bed
CHORUS
In these hardened times I know
Every stone will be used soon
But as long as people throw
Our houses will become a ruin
Like the rambler climbing through my broken window
Really shows God’s beauty
So’s the child of the heart
That finds the Father miraculously
On every corner there’s a home to choose
For every person there’s a resting place
If you carefully watch sky news
You’ll see the morning drops down grace
CHORUS
In these hardened times I know
That some hearts will burn with fire
With loving dew the Father shows
He wants to dwell in our desire
Come enjoy this stay
Let’s sit on the roof
For the rest of the day
Come enjoy this stay
Let’s sit on the roof
For the rest of the day
