I wish I was a lily of the field
See how they neither toil nor spin
I'd take no care of what tomorrow might bring
Freely blowin' in the wind

I wish I was a sheep inside the fold
Followin' the shepherd where he talked
I'd never go astray, never lose my way
Following the shepherd where he walked

Oh, Lord, I think I'd like to see
Just a little more of you in me
Oh, Lord, I know you must be pleased
To see this sinner on her knees

Oh, if I could only be a child again
Know the comfort now that I knew then
I know I'd never cry, Lord, I'd never die
Live like the lilies in the wind.
