We're working on this for church use, but first here's the original version.

~S~


HEART TEMPORARY
Jorma Kaukonen
As sung on album: Stars in My Crown

Blue skies in the morning
Stars, they fill the night
Fall wind rustling through the trees
Sings a song of great delight
On such a day you think you'd say
Exactly what you mean
But in God's perfection
Things ain't always just the way they seem

When the best you have to offer
Falls short of the mark
Self-inflicted holes are piercing
Deep within your heart


Blue skies in the afternoon
Breeze, it starts to still
Two dogs sleeping in the sun
They lie upon that grassy hill
At such a time you think you'd find
A way to show your heart
And though you're reaching for her hand
Still you walk apart

When the best you have to offer
Falls short of the mark
Self-inflicted holes are piercing
Deep within your heart


Sun upon that old barn roof
Celebrates the day
I hold this moment in my hand
Follow it along my way
The future flows, this feeling grows
Aside my window sill
By letting go I might escape
The prison of my will

When the best you have to offer
Falls short of the mark
Self-inflicted holes are piercing
Deep within your heart

When the best you have to offer
Is all you have to give
Enjoy the moment God has granted
One more day to live

Blue skies out my window
Said goodbye to early morning rain
