Open Country

Kensington Prairie

Compositor: Kensington Prairie

Open country
That’s where I’m going to
Endless fields of flowers always in bloom
Nothing can ever take me
From this place, I’m going to
Of Open Country
Peace and beauty
Where no earthly mist can marr the face of You

This one was born in her
Drawn skyward
A true citizen, the highway’s in my heart
I long day and night
For where my joy comes from
The place where righteousness and peace
Have kissed each other

Your footsteps form a path
Winding spiral
A celestial city, free from the stains of sin
I would forfeit life
For where my fountain runs
The place where love and truth
Have freely met together

Hallelujah
