God's in Heaven, a lullabye

1.
God's in Heaven
   All's right with the world
God's in Heaven
   All right
God's in Paradise
   So are we
      It feels so nice
Settle down, baby tonight
Settle down, baby

2.
Each bird a-flying
   Daddy knows by name
Each bird a-flying
   Daddy knows
Leaf and river too
   He will teach
      each one to you
Sleep little baby tonight
Sleep little baby

3.
Everywhere you're walking
   Momma knows by name
Everywhere you're walking
   Momma holds
Singing Love Supreme
   All day long
      and through your dreaming
Happy dreams baby tonight
   Happy dreams baby

[Repeat first verse]

God's in Heaven -- I've had the honor of singing to sleep many children, my own and others', with this. Sometimes it's hard to remember, when the troubles of the world fill a parent's mind, that the Great Parent has set a path beyond all troubles. I find I need this lullabye of reassurance as much as, if not more than, any baby. First web publication ©1997 Mar 17. Offline for a long time, re-published on mindfulwebworks.com 2007 Apr 07.
