Road to Shiloh - Hannah's Song
Walking slow with heavy heart Road to Shiloh's hard to start To bring my praise to God up there The pain inside's just too much to bear I've felt the taunts, the looks that say You're somehow less of a wife today So hard to feel a family This road to sacrifice for me. As I kneel in the Sanctu'ry Calling to the Lord my plea Tear stream floods my troubled brow, Please Lord bless me, bless me now ! Stirs the seated priest Eli Thinks I'm drunk, he hears me cry. "Sir my soaking prayer's from grief.' I've made my promise, made my vow. My child will be the Lord's from now. If in His grace this barren wife Will bear a child to serve for life. Chorus- Though some may say that I'm a fool To give my child up, makes me cruel. For my son, for my son, Samuel. I've suckled, loved away my shame, Still a tear can't hide my pain. Walking slow now child at side Soon to Shiloh we'll arrive. I'm torn to hand this little one, Yet God has promised me this son. Could it be that God's grace spread To other children , Eli said. Though some may say that I'm a fool To give my child up, makes me cruel But for my son, my special one, Samuel. With woven tears and joy and hope I bring to Shiloh soon his robe. My son shall serve in clothing new Minis'tring my Lord for you. Somehow God I see your plan To raise from barren womb, a man To live as priest, our people lift up high. Yes some may say that I'm a fool To give my child up, makes me cruel. But for my son, for my Lord, Samuel (rpt ) ©Don Stott Eliab.com |
