lyrics

The Chapel In The Grove

Grapevines wind their way
Along the outer walls
And up from underneath the well-worn
Floorboards of the old
Chapel in the grove.

Long ago
A preacher stood at his
Pulpit every Sunday
And spoke to the parish
About the mysterious
Workings of God.

Everything happens for
A reason, he said to them.
Who are we to call into doubt
God’s existence
When things don’t go our way?

Longing and hope
Are joined together
Hand in hand with despair,
And with happiness too,
He said.

Now the chapel is empty.

I remember
One summer
The preacher presided
Over a wedding
In the Chapel
The bride was dressed in white,
And the groom wore a dark green suit,
With a blue flower in its lapel.

We are gathered here,
The preacher said,
To bring together in holy matrimony
This man and woman as
Husband and wife.
If there be any objections,
Please speak now.

Today the windows of the chapel
Are all boarded up.

Outside a single acacia tree
Still stands,
Ancient as time itself,
Its roots planted deeply in the ground.
