歌詞

The first star found the garden

Before I found the words

I fold my hands around my knees

And tilt my head up high

The evening star is listening

From its corner of the sky

I don't have much to say tonight

And that's alright with Him

Let my prayer rise like incense

The evening's offering

A thank-you for the cooling air

And every little thing

Thank You for the melon slice

The wind-bell and the chair

For one whole day now safely done

And one small answered prayer

The star holds still while I collect

The small things of the day

Let my prayer rise like incense

The evening's offering

A thank-you for the cooling air

And every little thing

The night leans down around the yard

Like listening, like care

And somewhere past the evening star

The answer's already there

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Let my prayer rise like incense

The evening's offering

A thank-you for the cooling air

And every little thing

Let my prayer rise like incense

The evening's offering

A thank-you for the cooling air

And every little thing

The first star kept the garden

While I said my amen
