2. IDEA~LIKE GOD MAKE FLOWER BLOOM GRASS THEREABOUTS, HIS-ctr LOVE MAKE LIFE THRILL.

3. COME-ON (2h)#ALL EXHAUSTED. GOD BLESS WILL. HOW? YOUR BURDEN, GOD LIFT-OFF. ALLOW (2h)YOU REST.

FAITH - Like THINK TRUST but with elevated hands to show the trust is spiritual.

LIFT-UP - (2h)[B], PO down are held high and swoop down while supinating and then rise up again as if helping something mature and the hands continue up and FTs are directed > Heaven.

IDEA~LIKE - A blending where IDEA has a [Y] instead of an [I] in anticipation of LIKE which is signed smoothly right afterwards.

Lyrics:

Refrain: Age to age we will love you. Dawning light we will wake with you. Into night we will follow you. We will love you age to age.

1. As the eagle flies to the heavens above, on wings of faith God will bear you up.

2. As the lilies of the field neither toil nor spin, what splendor we find in the love God gives.

3. Come, all you weary, for you are blessed. God will lighten your burden and give you rest.

4. Lord, let my faith in you be revealed. Only say the word and I shall be healed.
