Seven Years

A stone rolled on the mouth of a well
Where the children of the east and the shepherds dwell
Flocks lying in the heat of day
A shepherdess came along the way
I drew near and rolled the stone
Began to water your sheep
Kissed you and began to weep

Waiting seven years was like a day because of our love
Sorrow's bitter tears could never stay because of our love
Here there is no fear, it's cast away because of our love

He said tell me what your wages should be
Surely one of my kinfolk shouldn't serve me free
The lovely one to whom my heart adheres
For her I'd serve you for seven years
When I claimed that my time was complete
At least so I believed
Never thought I'd be deceived

Waiting seven years was like a day because of our love
Sorrow's bitter tears could never stay because of our love
Here there is no fear, it's cast away because of our love

My love for you will never change
Through every situation by God arranged
Honesty and faithfulness
Toward you will my endless love profess
When sorrow came you made me believe
And so shall you be
On my heart continually

Waiting seven years was like a day because of our love
Sorrow's bitter tears could never stay because of our love
Here there is no fear, it's cast away because of our love

Waiting seven years was like a day because of our love
Sorrow's bitter tears could never stay because of our love
Here there is no fear, it's cast away because of our love
