To Rest Beneath the Pines
by Chaplain Timon Davison · March 08, 2013
In some far day when I’m laid to rest, I pray that I might be
on a quiet hill, with a gentle slope, beneath an old pine tree.
I’d like a view to see the road, and farmers who till the land
and the place that’s been a special home, and blessed by God’s own hand.
I want the wind to blow from time to time, with eagles soaring in the skies.
I especially like the song it sings, as it whispers through the pines.
Evergreens are everlasting, like God’s eternal love
that helps us through our journeys here, from Heavens up above.
Yes let me rest on a gentle slope, that’s near some swaying pines
and come and visit every once-in-’while, and share the gift of time.
