The Old Black Crow
[Verse 1]
There's an old black crow sitting in the gumtree
He's plump and he's well-fed
A beetle here, a cicada there
Is the black crow's daily bread
I think it should be said

[Chorus]
There's a Lord who cares for the old black crow
The wombat, the gecko and the kangaroo
And one thing's sure, we are worth much more
To the God who cares for people too

[Verse 2]
Mrs Wombat digs herself a little burrow
To keep her warm and dry
It's a home sweet home that she's made her own
Better than money can buy
And here's the reason why

[Chorus]
There's a Lord who cares for the old black crow
The wombat, the gecko and the kangaroo
And one thing's sure, we are worth much more
To the God who cares for people too
[Verse 3]
The gecko lives in the sands of the desert
Where it's very dry and hot
He's small and frail with a stumpy tail
But hungry he is not
'Cause all he needs he's got

[Chorus]
There's a Lord who cares for the old black crow
The wombat, the gecko and the kangaroo
And one thing's sure, we are worth much more
To the God who cares for people too

[Verse 4]
The Lord cares too for the kangaroo
I think we all can see
That worth much more to the living Lord
Is you and you and me (And me!)
And you and you and me

[Chorus]
There's a Lord who cares for the old black crow
The wombat, the gecko and the kangaroo
And one thing's sure, we are worth much more
To the God who cares for people too
