Wilson Over the Fence
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
Here is this guy and he lives close by
And he offers me all of his tools
And he listens so well
To the stories I tell
And the times when
Despondency rules.
Yes this friend really cares
And he proves he’ll be there
With a word steeped in
Gospel delight
Or some common sense stuff
Proving more than enough
To dispel all my worrisome “night”.
What a treat just to know
That he cares for me so
As he shows me to victory’s peak.
Lord make me like him
When another’s hopes dim
That we both for your Spirit might seek.
