One Good Turn

"From dirt I was made, to dirt I will return

And all I might seem to be is not who I am

For the Father above has given me life and breath

And all that I have is His

From dirt I was made, to dirt I will return

And all I might seem to be is not who I am

For the Father above has given me life and breath

And all that I have is His

Whispering morning kisses away the night,

And then she touches the river, she's making the mist to rise

And the mist comes off the water, he spins and laughs and he leaves,

And then he dances a moment, oh, but the music is brief

Time keeps turning, one turn deserves another

I'm just learning what You already know

We live but a moment, we come and we go

And the hawk comes riding and racing across the sky

And he chases the winds, and he turns to wave goodbye

To the storm that's kickin' up in the middle of the day

But now the rain won't last long, soon she'll be blown away

Time keeps turning, one turn deserves another

I'm just learning what You already know

We live but a moment, we come and we go

Who knows but that you have come into this world

For such a time as this

Who knows but that you have come into this world

For such a time as this

Silently the evening sends coals within the heavens

To this silouette cradle like a bird within her nest

And the day is in his autumn when the night is in her bloom

And now the colors are falling, they're giving their way to the moon

Time keeps turning, one turn deserves another

I'm just learning what You already know

We live but a moment, we come and we go

Who knows but that you have come into this world

For such a time as this

Who knows but that you have come into this world

For such a time as this

Who knows but that you have come into this world

For such a time as this

Who knows but that you have come into this world

For such a time as this"
