Good
on you,
Sister
Carmel, bless you,
Sister
Theo
You put thirty years of love
into that little outback town
And I loved your tales of going out like
some boundary -riding angels
To share a time with bushfolks,
to listen and to pray
Sunburned saints, godly pioneers
Red dirt faith,
to ride the wire from tears
With hope and light and life
and love to bring
We're following the footsteps of the
King
Well, good on you,
Reverend
Ian
You blessed me in that chapel
Always just a handful,
but you give them all you can
Eat the peppercorn in
Jericho, you point them to the
Saviour
You stand among the distant ones
with faithfulness and joy
Sunburned saints of godly pieties
A redbird faint to ride the wild frontiers
With hope and light and life and love to bring
They're following the footsteps of the
King
Bless your
Malcolm and your
Marvin
Your little flock are grown now
That you loved and nurtured each
of them in your strong and gentle ways
And who shared the precious fellow
ship through the gates of
Lodibah
Chilean tortillas,
the warm embrace of faith
Sunburnt saints, godly pioneers
A red dirt faith to ride the wild frontier
Sunburned saints, godly pioneers
A red dirt faith to ride the wild frontier
With hope and light and life and love to bring
They got hope and light and
life and love to bring
Yeah, there's hope and light
and life and love to bring
As they're following the footsteps of the
King
The footsteps of the
King
You
