Lyrics
...Handle With Prayer (C) August Mosco 2004
Verse 1 -----(the son which is you talking)
My daddy was a Godly man
who worked hard all his days,
He gave his all to life's demands
with never much to say,
But when he spoke my world would halt
and I'd become all ears,
His words became my light and salt
with the wisdom of his years,
Chorus ----(the father which is me singing)
"Life has goodness, don't wait to share,
Life has riches and you're the heir,
And above all this world shows
as your passing years will roll,
Life is fragile...handle with prayer",
Verse2 ---(the son which is you talking again)
Well, I grew up and moved away,
Dad passed to his reward,
And I don't think there's been a day
I've wandered from the Lord,
For when temptation wears on me
and Satan begs his due,
I see dad's face with clarity
and hear his words ring true,
Chorus---(the father-me singing again)
"Life is precious and loved ones rare,
Life has rewards for those who dare,
As its sinful ways intice
just remember this advice,
Life is fragile...handle with prayer",
Bridge---(the son--you singing now)
And as my kids grow,
This dad will surely know
the questions that they'll be asking me,
For the more things change-
this world will stay the same
and scripture--has always held the key,
Chorus(a duet--you and I both sing)
"For life's a journey, travel in pairs,
Life has burdens, a cross you'll bare,
But, if Jesus is with you--
you will rise to see it through
for, life is fragile...so very fragile,
Yes, life is fragile....handle with prayer",
