Verse 1
*******
To explain it all now,
would be too difficult
as you are too close
to the fire to see
the wisdom in the ashes.
|
Verse 2
********
Think of all the things
we've talked about;
remember precious things
don't weigh as much
as those that are hurtful.
|
Verse 3
********
Can we give it a little time
then we'll chat and take our time?
For eternal things are forever
and sometimes we need the privacy
to be alone in studing the fire.
|
Verse 4
********
As in the ashes of eternal time
is found the history of man
and once known to all
there will be no excuses
to those who look to see.
|
Verse 5
********
The wisdom found in the ashes
if pondered and studied will teach
us about forever and ever
not as a man teacheth
but as God from above.
|
Verse 6
********
So when studing these ashes
blown by the four winds
to cover the land and sea
no part of earth untouched
then their will be no excuses.
|
Verse 7
********
As these ashes of time
are for us to learn
or to repeat mistakes
our forefathers made
and thus forfeit life eternal.
|
Verse 8
********
Oh the ashes are free to see
there is no cost to pay
and no man to hire
to help you understand
or get gain from them.
|
Verse 9
********
These ashes come from
Heavenly Father alone above
sent to us with all his love
for who has a child
he would not instruct?
