The eagles tear the sky with sneaks on their beaks
Flying over the lilies in the fields of kings
Have you seen the harvest spill into the abyss
Have you seen it overflowing, overflowing
The oceans met the land
And the sky was fed by constellations
The sun shines for both good and bad
We carried the coffin of life raising high the burning torches
Singing with souls that you are freedom
The beats of your forgiveness are so strong
That they strike guilt and defeat it,
Leave it without breath
We deserved the grave
But you took our place
And you planted us like a tree next to water
By your name lions swallowed their tongues
By your name the crippled ran marathons
By your name the rejected, the troubled souls have met the healer
Those tired will see the horizon on your shoulders
The meek will inherit all the earth
And raise their hands
Is the most that we can achieve,
Simple treasures and possessions?
You made something beautiful out of nothing,
A story of redemption others can
Witness
You blew the breath of life upon us
Where shall we go but to you?
Where shall we go?
We wanted to be the best but failed,
Again and again, the cups we spilled the jars were broken
Wherever we go you will never fail us
Wherever we go you still fill us with your grace
What could we say? what could we write?
The words are not enough,
They will not suffice, I have fallen short
Maybe kneeling down will speak louder
Than our dirty mouths
Even when we walk away from home
You are always there bringing us back to you
By your name lions swallowed their tongues
By your name the crippled ran marathons
By your name the rejected, the troubled souls have met the healer
Those tired will see the horizon on your shoulders
The oceans met the land
And the sky was fed by constellations
The sun shines for both good and bad
His eyes are over us, his eyes are over us
And we shout with our souls
That you're freedom
