Josh and Lavender and their helicopter

كلمات الأغنية

[Intro: 4 bars; flowing piano and warm keyboard pad. Guitar answers with a short rising phrase.] [Verse 1: intimate, sincere] My name is Josh; I work these halls When the last school bus is gone. A custodian with willing hands, And a faith that carries on. I clean the messes left behind, Each hallway, desk, and chair. I love my work; I serve the Lord, And turn each task into a prayer. [Pre-Chorus: bass enters; gentle cymbal swell] Father, You see the quiet things, The work the world may never see. Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, Keep Your love alive in me. [Chorus: full band; broad, sustained notes] Heaven bound and heaven sent, A life of love is a life well spent. Lord, if Lavender’s Your plan, Lead her to this working man. Hand in hand, whatever we do, Let our love lead back to You. Heaven sent and heaven bound, Love can bloom on humble ground. [Turnaround: 2 bars; piano motif with a guitar echo.] [Verse 2: tender, with a playful smile] Lavender flies her helicopter around; I wave from the school with my feet on the ground. I dream she’s smiling as she comes in view, A girl who loves You, Lord, the way I do. Like heaven’s gift, with all her charms, She almost lands right in my arms. Then school bells ring, and I smile and pray, “Lord, lead us both along Your way.” [Pre-Chorus: gradually lift the vocal] I place tomorrow in Your hands; I give You all my plans today. Teach me patience, grace, and kindness; I will trust You as I pray. [Chorus: fuller guitars and harmonies] Heaven bound and heaven sent, A life of love is a life well spent. Lord, if Lavender’s Your plan, Lead her to this working man. Hand in hand, whatever we do, Let our love lead back to You. Heaven sent and heaven bound, Love can bloom on humble ground. [Bridge: piano and voice first; drums gradually build] Jesus Christ, You set me free; Your grace is life and hope to me. Teach us both to love and give, And honor You in how we live. A meal to share, a hand to lend, A prayer beside a hurting friend. If You should join our hearts someday, We’ll serve You, Lord, along the way. [Guitar solo: 8 bars. Develop the short guitar motif into a singing melody with sustained bends. Piano keeps flowing. Finish with a one-bar tom fill and cymbal swell.] [Final Chorus: strongest vocal; layered harmonies] Heaven bound and heaven sent, A life of love is a life well spent. Lord, if Lavender’s Your plan, Lead her to this working man. Hand in hand, whatever we do, Let our love lead back to You. Heaven sent and heaven bound, Love can bloom on humble ground. [Helicopter hook: playful lift; guitar answers each line] Lavender flies her helicopter high, Always flying around in that wide-open sky. While I work below, I lift this prayer: “Lord, lead us both into Your care.” [Repeat the hook: voices rise; hold “sent”] Heaven bound and heaven sent, A life of love is a life well spent. [Outro: drums fade; piano and voice] Till then, I’ll work, and trust, and pray; Lord Jesus, lead me day by day. Lavender, wherever you may be, I pray you’ll serve the Lord with me.
