Danny's Green Field

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Danny came with broken days A rough road in his bones But Sarah saw the good in him And brought him safely home She fed him sweet, soft kindness Till his eyes turned warm and bright He stood a little taller then And slept on kinder nights [Pre-Chorus] He learned the touch of gentle hands The sound of his own name And every scar he carried in Began to feel less pain [Chorus] Oh Danny, run free now Run free now, my friend On heaven's green pasture Where the hurting finally ends Oh Danny, run free now Run free now, again You were loved right through it all And you won't be gone for long, amen [Verse 2] Then sickness found his strong old legs And started taking ground It stole the miles from under him And left him limping down Sarah stayed right by his side Kept him soft and kept him fed With his pasture mates around him And his favorite spoils in bed [Pre-Chorus] She held him when the night got cold She eased what she could ease And taught the whole wide world again What mercy truly means [Chorus] Oh Danny, run free now Run free now, my friend On heaven's green pasture Where the hurting finally ends Oh Danny, run free now Run free now, again You were loved right through it all And you won't be gone for long, amen [Bridge] Now the gate is open wide And the burden's off his back No more pain in those sweet old legs No more shadows on his track If love could keep him here with us He'd never leave this place But heaven wanted Danny home To run in perfect grace [Final Chorus] Oh Danny, run free now Run free now, my friend On heaven's green pasture Where the hurting finally ends Oh Danny, run free now Run free now, again You were loved right through it all And you'll never be forgotten, amen
