A Wonderful Song!

Today I heard a wonderful new song and I just could not wait to share the lyrics!

I heard the song performed by a folk music duo called Small Potatoes.  The song is called Simple Faith and is written by one of the members of the group Mustard's Retreat.  I will give you the words here, and then list the youtube address where you can hear Mustard's Retreat sing the song. In my opinion, Small Potatoes performed a much more lively and refined version of the song when I heard them today, perhaps because there is one male and one female voice in Small Potatoes and two male voices in Mustard's Retreat.  
Here is the address for Mustard's Retreat Singing Simple Faith.

Enjoy!


Simple Faith By Mustard's Retreat


Ours is a simple faith

Life is a short embrace

Heaven is in this place

Every day

Hope is the ground we till

Make each day what you will

Thankful for dreams fulfilled

Every day

No room in this heart for fear

No judgement day drawing near

Trust that inner voice you hear

Every day


Life's not a goal or race

Its about heart and faith

And living a life of grace

Every day


Ours is a simple faith

Life is a short embrace 

Heaven is in this place

Every day

Hope is the ground we till

Make each day what you will

Thankful for dreams fulfilled

Every day

Trust is an open hand

Making an honest stand

Rooted here in the land

Every day

Living the mystery

Seeking the harmony

Here between you and me

Every day

Ours is a simple faith

Life is a short embrace

Heaven is in this place

Every day


Hope is the ground we till

Make each day what you will

Thankful for dreams fulfilled

Every day

Thank you so much for posting this! I had to keep smiling during this song, for I was about to weep with the great joy that overcame me while it was being sung! So perfect!
