Happy shall they be who see you.
And those who have fallen asleep in love.
Sitting in the church this feeling grew and  grew.
There was something coming from above .

I tell you that Elijah has come already.
But they treated him as they pleased.
How many times have I not held steady.
How many times have my doubts not been eased.

The son of man will suffer similarly at their hands.
The disciples thought he was talking of John the Baptist.
So knowledge drains into endless sands.
So we find the truth all too easy to resist.

But then the first lines came back to mind.
All that mattered was to believe and be kind.

……..

Believe and be kind
Is that too much to ask us
I hope it is not
