Verse 1:
The first time I saw him was in1666
The 3rd of August and our talk went like this
When he was 18 he took a winter walk
He saw a leafless tree and this is what he thought
Before too long this tree would have leaves & flower
That’s when he was overtaken by the Spirit’s power
Chorus:
Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection
He made a spiritual connection
Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection
For God he had a predilection, yes he did
Verse 2:
A Carmelite monk in the 17th century
Washing pots and pans when suddenly he
Led by the Spirit had a sense of God’s presence
It was an experience far beyond pleasant
Now he spends every single second
Experiencing God’s immanent presence
Chorus
