Episode 45 - the story behind the song "Fields of Green"


Listen Later

I've been telling the story behind the song for the last 12 weeks of the podcast, this is a bonus addition to what can be heard on my "proof in the mirror" CD.

In the fall of 2012, we laid to rest the body of a six week old baby named Lydia Rose Green.

As I prepared to do her memorial service, this was the song that the Lord gave me.

This podcast tells that story, and plays the recording of the song (I recorded it in the garage).

Fields of Green Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Dancing in, the fields of

green, lifted high, above all things

Hand in hand, with our king,

you are dancing

Spinning round, you are free,

from all pain, you are at peace

Perfect joy, has come to you,

perfect peace

 

Chorus:

Jesus, you give us life, and

you give us breath

You hold us in your hands

And when it’s our time

You will be so kind,

You will come and carry us away

 

Verse 2:

Purple skies, tell a tale, of

a king, who loves so well

He understands, who we are, he

is listening.

As roses bloom in His time, we

learn too, and we try

To trust again, and hope is on

the rise

 

Bridge:

Prince of Peace

Lord of Lords

We fall into your arms

 

So, Lord Heal my heart

Heal every part

Someday we’ll dance with you,

in fields of green
