Lord, I want to be an island
cut off by the tide,
or a castle with a moat
and drawbridge lifted high.
Lord, I want to shut myself away
from the stress of daily life,
and spend some time in pastures green,
far from the toil and strife.
But, you call me to be open
to all this day’s demands
and leave whate’er the future holds
entirely in your hands.
