A tongue likened to fire Whispers sweet somethings into the night sky Awaken from your dream, Sleepers The time of the end is 'nigh. I shall cleave through sacrilege and lies like a serrated blade through melted fat. Rely on your faith to light the way Sending the shadows to the far corners of existence For what God once saw in his people I pray he see in me Send me into the world, Father With your message on my lips Allow me drink of thy cup And feast at thy table. In the presence of mine enemies, keep me safe As I wander alone, keep me whole Bring me toward the final home, sweet God Through trials and adversity Toils, torments, and pain I will shed tears and strive onward Bare foot, I will find your footprints in the sand As you walk before me, steering my way Lost I had been, and found I was Shed the lamplight to keep me aimed skyward. Forsake the flesh to fulfill the spirit Slake the thirst for something else Soothe parched throat with the sweetest nectar Thick, rich, flowing like honey Let it rain down upon my bowed head. Life is harsh, cruel, a test of mettle As I crawl on broken spine and bloodied knee Father of the One and us All I beg thee to carry me A step I cannot take... without you. |
