Mathis, Johnny - I Heard A Forest Praying Lyrics
I heard a forest praying
The trees were cold and bare.
What was the forest praying?
Let me repeat their prayer.
Trees hide a lovers lane.
Shelter the tired and the weary,
Bringing them hope again.
Man turned the fields and the forest
Into a battlefield grim.
Men took a tree, an innocent tree
And made a cross for Him.
I heard a forest praying.
Just as the dawn was breaking,
And night was gone to sleep.

Mathis, Johnny I Heard A Forest Praying Comments
Johnny paints vivid mental pictures with his voice. I wonder if he would sing on my Harriet Tubman album in honor of this 19th century legend. A legend singing for a legend of freedom?.I love Deep River and Swing Low. His voice is filled with feeling that lends itself to the melodic vibrato of a slave escaping through the trees,singing heavenly pleas-Swing Low Sweet Chariot, crossing that Deep River to freedom. I love this gift from heaven!
Nice job with the strings.
