The Picture in the sky


I saw a cross up in the sky,
It was a picture of hope.
I saw my maid laid in her bed,
It was a picture of joy.
I saw her girl sitting in church,
It was a picture of patience.

I won't worry, I'm not depressed.
I'm not ill, I don't need prosaic.

I saw His picture in my mind,
It was a picture of love.
I saw the signs of the times,
It was the picture of doom.
I saw the end of the age,
It was not just a picture.

I don't cry, I'll climb the rope.
I'm not suicidal, I won't give up.

I saw the picture in the book,
It was the picture of Christ.

And I won't cry, but will live.
