[hometext] => a minnow swims up stream
[bodytext] => Here I am Warm Do fish know they are wet Girls perspire and boys sweat In the beginning nothing is known I AM is making me grow In the twinkle of an eye Mankind laughs then they cry Here I lie Don't know why I tumble and turn Mother yearns Hunger I do not feel Slippery I am like an eel Suddenly a crushing push Water flows with quite a rush Unknowing blue I cry A time to live a time to die To a breast I suckle milk Sweet and smooth as silk In comfort I lie in arms Protected from harm A long way from death Sweet a babies breath Knowing now I was born Toddling around I begin to talk Stumbling I walk Birthdays have come and gone Never remembering the day I was born Sweetness comes into my life Turning only into strife Happiness is in unknowing years Protected from every tear A child is born only to die Being here I wonder why In the beginning there was a void Yet here I am alive In an image here I dwell Living good or deserving hell In life always the quest Today the day of my death Jesus Christ it is YOU I trust Even until this final breath Within this casket I do not turn Yet my soul continues to yearn Still I have much to learn Will I live or will I burn. Here I see YOU face to face In brightness YOUR everlasting grace Before I was born YOU knew my name Whether lowly or full with fame In our nakedness we come to earth From out of a void our very birth My Lord My GOD to YOU I return For what is a child who will not learn.
