Cabin in the Canyon
© Gary Orphey
(Country Gospel Ballad)
(Intro spoken)
God gives many gifts, to both you and me
The greatest, redemption given at Calvary
He gave to us freely His only begotten Son
With that precious gift came what we call eternity
(V 1)
As man's soul and Heaven touch
To toast the mingling of His gifts
The daylight moves to twilight
As the colors begin to shift
The setting sun sends down its blessings
In its lingering rays of light
Goes to sleep and leaves the heavens
To the twilight and the night
(Chorus)
There’s a cabin in the canyon
Nestled in the sighing trees
Where I go when day is ended
To give thanks on bended knees
For Grace and Blessings given
Sent from His heaven high above
For the peace that is within me
The supreme gift of eternal love
(Instrumental Bridge)
(V2)
With my loved one close beside me
Happy children on the floor
In my heart I thank my maker
Who could ask for anything more
When my days down here are over
And this old world I’m no more to roam
Another cabin in the canyon
Will be my eternal home
(Chorus)
There’s a cabin in the canyon
Nestled in the sighing trees
Where I go when day is ended
To give thanks on bended knees
For Grace and Blessings given
Sent from Heaven high above
For the peace that is within me
The supreme gift of eternal love
