beautiful inheritance - merilee barnard lyrics
sittin’ on pews i didn’t build
singin’ a hymn i didn’t pen
eatin’ from trees i didn’t plant
drinkin’ from wells i didn’t dig
each precious piece was guarded with hands
that knew the price to dig and plant
and the trees grew up in time
the well’s water sustained new life
the moment came for old, worn hands
to give me my inheritance
beautiful inheritance
this is a pleasant place
an incredible thought to think
this land was kept for me
i could go most anywhere
nothin’s really keepin’ me here
but i think that i’ll just stay awhile
and care for my inheritance
once they stood out and looked inside
they saw the price to build a home
they made their choice to plant some trees
they chose to lay some things in stone
each winding wall was built in fear
they knew the threat; dangers lurking near
the wall was built in time
the stones kept safe the home inside
but the moment’s come for a weary man
to hand to us his treasured land
beautiful inheritance
this is a pleasant place
an incredible thought to think
this land was kept for me
i could go most anywhere
nothin’s really keepin’ me here
but i think that i’ll just stay awhile
and care for my inheritance
i could go most anywhere
nothin’s really keepin’ me here
but someone i loved left me with this land
that they’d so long cherished
but i think that i’ll just stay awhile
and care for my inheritance
