Precious Again

Sunrise, sunset with no eyes to see it

Garnets and rubies ground up in the sand

Words from my children with no ears to hear it

Where is the wonder



New tender mercies and infinite graces

Woven like threads in the cloth of my days

Deep wells of glory behind common faces

Where is the wonder, where is the wonder



Oh oh, I need a song that's never old

Oh oh, I need a story never told

Promise the just when love grows cold

You'll make it precious again



Friendship and good will a sweet invitation

Kindred in spirit and eager to share

Love in familiar and long conversations

There is the wonder, there is the wonder



Oh oh, sing me the song that's never old

Oh oh, tell me the story never told

Promise the just when love grows cold

You'll make it precious



Press mud with holy fingers

Light the ineffable

Fused in the ordinary

So much to wonder

Oh, what a wonder

Wonder, wonder



Oh oh, sing me the song that's never old

Oh oh, tell me the story never told

Promise the just when love grows cold

You'll make it precious

Oh make it precious

You make it precious again
