Lyrics

Verse 1:
A little while reflecting, just to pass the time away
Tells the story of what’s true on every day
That what’s worse than hermititis is to sing the recluse song
I am not only lonely, but alone

Verse 2:
Oh, the world is so uncertain, not much is guaranteed
Acquaintances and friends, especially
What a humble learning, like studying in school
Is to have acquired fellowship with You

Bridge:
If my friends forsake me, and even next of kin
You said that You’d be with me ‘till the end
My soul is much contented, my spirit’s oh, so free
Just to know there’ll always be

Chorus:
You & me (x 5)

Verse 3:
When I leave this place of sorrows, when I'm dead and gone
I’ll be welcomed into Your dear, loving arms
Joining You, forever, to never stray or roam
We’ll be together in that prepared home

Bridge:

Chorus:

Songwriter: Kenneth P. Garnier
