Happily I'd choose to be
Up high upon the glassy sea
Of lovely clouds now passing by
Against a soft blue morning sky,
Like a procession straight away
With the colors white and blue and gray.
Just watching them so full and grand
Makes me recall another land
Chorus:
By grace that voice I've come to know;
It was my Lord so long ago.
One day to Him I'll fly away,
'Til then within my heart He'll stay.
When young and tender lying still
So long ago, a grassy hill;
I watched the clouds a long time there,
Then soft, a voice, I thought to hear
That seemed to say"I love you so,
My love will never let you go. "
It seemed to hold me in its power,
So strange, yet wonderful that hour.
Repeat Chorus
Within my heart He’ll stay.
