"Rita" by Bebo Norman, A Favorite & Why

Greg Hudson has shared a video with you on YouTube.            "Rita," is my favorite song by Bebo Norman--and that's saying something for me--with "The Hammer Holds" running a close second. It's a poignant song about the early passing of a sister in faith. Humanly, sadly touching, yet softly assured and assuring, this is a song worth listening to. (Click on highlighted "Rita" or picture to hear song. Lyrics below.)   Bebo Norman - Rita Lyrics:                   Lay down softly in our sorrow Lay down sister to die And cover over, my sweet Father Cover over her eyes Your broken body, it cannot weather The years your youth still longs to spend So go down graceful, sleep with the angels And wake up whole again ‘Cause it was not your time; that's a useless line A fallen world took your life But the God that sometimes can't be found Will wrap Himself around you So lay down, sister, lay down Slower passing are the hours To tell this tale that takes its time But the finest moment, no man can measure Is to look your Savior in the eyes So take her tender to Your table Take her from this killing floor To taste the water that is forever Let her be thirsty no more It was not her time; that's a useless line A fallen world took her life But the God that sometimes can't be found Will wrap Himself around you So lay down, sister, lay down And the God that sometimes can't be found Will wrap Himself around you So lay down, Rita, lay down ©2013 YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066
