Soft field of clover
Moon shining over
The valley
Join in the song of the river
To the great Giver
Of the great good.
As it enfolds me
Somehow it holds me
Together
I realize I’ve been singing
Still it comes ringing
Clearer than clear.
And here by the water
I’ll build an altar to praise you
Out of the stones that I found here
I’ll set them down here
Rough as they are
Knowing you can make them holy.
I think how a yearning
Kept on returning
To move me
Down roads I’d never have chosen
Half the time frozen
Too numb to feel.
I know it was stormy
Hope it was for me
A learning
Blood on the road wasn’t mine though
Someone that I know
Walked here before.
And here by the water
I’ll build an altar to praise you
Out of the stones that I found here
I’ll set them down here
Rough as they are
Knowing you can make them holy

Make an altar of uncut(rough) stones. (Deuteronomy 27:5)
