When Cicadas Sing

In the quiet of the dawn
When cicadas start to sing

Then God’s grace will make you stand!


And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while:

And with us it is the same
If we want to move ahead
Before God will allow advance
We must go back instead

To tag up with who we've been
And where we have gone wrong
Only then by His own grace
Can we run safely home!
