And watch it grow
 Food enough to fill a table
 Running water down an overflow
 Eat as much as we are able
 But would the fruit turn ripe
 If the rains had never been?
 Chorus: Oh Lord deliver us from the elements
 We at your mercy and your reverence
 Oh Lord deliver us from the elements
 We've no defense we are impotent
 You can travel far to distant lands
 Some so hot no man could bear
 You can conquer peaks with winds of sand
 Where Mother Nature didn't care
 Would not our world turn cold
 If the sun refused to shine
 Chorus
 And when the world grows old
 And we know more than our brains can hold
 Nature will be law
 Well we're as helpless now as we've ever been before
 Would not our world turn cold
 If the sun refused to shine
 Chorus
