Activity One - Sister Wheatley Lyrics

Sister, can you hear me?
Won't you help me understand
Of all the things, you say "Twas Mercy"
That brought you from your native land
And you've been washed down in the river
So no man can keep you from
Abiding grace, the only place
Your kingdom come

Sister, I've misheard you
In all the times I heard myself
There was a greater rift between us
For many years I did not help
But there is life out of life again
And no one's left behind
Come tell your tale, the right prevail
Your kingdom come

You're a mother, now I know you
Your eyes within the eyes I see
From a time of separation
To a child in you, the child in me
I would to give you all my reverence
Could I join you in your song?
Abiding grace, the only place
Your kingdom come
