Your Smiling Face

(album: Let's Build A World Together - 1973)

I fell awake this morning and thought I saw the sun on its way down
And this evening when the sky got bright I realized that I'd been turning around
So Lord I've come again to ask you what it is and where it is I've been
And if my hands weren't worthy Lord I'd love to touch your shining face again

For I touched it as a child I could feel it for my brother
And I saw him smiling gentle your shining face upon the flowers

And I recalled the times when I could come to you with open heart and mind
Knowing I could ask you Lord you'd lead me through the valley one more time
So now I stand before you Lord to pray that you will wash away my sins
And if you'll cleanse my dirty hands I'd love to touch your shining face again

For I touched it as a child I could feel it for my brother
And I saw him smiling gentle your shining face upon the flowers

Yes we touched it as a child
(Yes we touched it as a child)
We could feel it for each other
(We could feel it for each other)
And we saw him smiling gentle
(And we saw him smiling gentle)
His shining face among the flowers
