Cool Hand Luke - Come Thou Fount & The City Prevails lyrics

Artist: Cool Hand Luke

album: Live at The Brown Owl


Come Thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, oh take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Here's my heart
Oh take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

For all the spires this city raised
You'd think this is a holy place
The shadow of a cross descends
But it's swallowed by the haze
You never sleep do you?
Always pouring smoke into
The atmosphere
What happens here
Stays with us till the grave
Wisdom cries out
In the streets
But the sirens
Are singing us to sleep
They're so loud
That I can't think
I hear voices
But I just can't tell
And when we're dead
The city prevails
Countless walk the open streets
With shackles chained around their feet
Wisdom says to fly away
But they cannot see their wings
Water, water everywhere
But not a drop that I would dare
Drink and so we think we'll go
Imbibe the filthy air
Wisdom cries out
In the streets
But the sirens
Are singing us to sleep
They're so loud
That I can't think
I hear voices
But I just can't tell
And when we're dead
The city prevails
Don't be silent
Don't be silent, God
Please don't be, silent
Or I will fall
Into the world
Or I will fall
Into the world
Don't be silent
Please God
Don't be silent
Please God
Don't be silent
Don't be silent
Don't be silent, no
Or I will fall
Into the world
Or I will fall
Into the world
