‘Tis a Gift to be Simple is a song that I admire
For the words call to all who fall yet in their life aspire
To the place where contentment lies that is the heart’s desire
Where soul & spirit harmonize in love’s celestial choir
Chorus:
There is joy in the spirit when simplicity is gained
And the soul will be whole again when sorrows are unchained
As we walk through the valley we are searching for the light
And the gift to be simple is our beacon in the night
‘Tis a Gift to be Simple for its sets the spirit free
On the wings of reflection it flies where it wants to be
When we find our direction we will turn & come to see
That the road to perfection is through pure simplicity
Chorus:
Tis a gift to be simple let the joyous voices sing
‘Tis the gift to be simple and much joy the gift will bring
As we sing out the chorus of this Shaker song or hymn
It goes dancing on before us to revea the truth within
Chorus:
Ending: Song: Simple Gifts
'Tis a gift to be simple
'Tis a gift to be free
'Tis a gift to come down where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves in the place just right
It will be in the valley of love and delight
