Secret Something

When God sends us from his mansion
Down to this world below, He takes from us the knowledge
Of that home we used to know

But a little secret something
In our memory seems to twine
To me it says, "Our Father
Watches o'er us all the time."

When he sees us wander
From goodness into sin
This little secret something
Speaks to us from within

It tells us, "that as surely
As we came to earth below
When the time comes that he wants us
We will surely have to go."

It says, "be brave my dear ones
As you sail life's stormy sea
If you are tempted here to sin
Kneel down and pray to me."
