Little Johanna girl of my prairie Help me fill this house with living words Further up and further in Let them fly from our lips Just like birds All that dark woods from Pakistan The glory the glory lodged inside Strive to enter the narrow gate To the fountain flowin' deep and wide He will never leave you My much afraid He waits patient In our prayers unprayed Now stay close to me In an amongst the trees I'll carry your shoes child You run an play beneath the eaves Our faith will come by the hearin' A whisper in the leaves Listen Johanna hear his voice In the drone of the bees He will never leave you My much afraid He waits patient In our prayers unprayed
