Oh to lay down in the cool green grass
Clear your mind of moments past
Oh to look up at a clear blue sky
With your true love by your side

Oh what a joy if just one day
All of your troubles just swept away
No pain, no grief, no problems say
Just you, your love and the sun

Oh the peace, such loving peace
Oh the joy, overwhelming
Come lay down, lay down
With the lion and the lamb

Take the time to get away
Retreat, take time to pray
Jesus showed us the way
To be alone with the Father
