about

co-written with Ryan Sharp and Alex Roller.

lyrics

the fresh spring of everything
pouring from your words, “let there be…”
the fleshed life of woman and man
dancing in the dawn of eden
a richness of plenty
for all the earth a destiny
your-voice walking with them
your-song’s cultivating rhythm

o blessed god
the saving one
oh, hear our cry to you
your kingdom come
your will be done
life pouring out of you

now we fall like leaves for missing you
and miss the kiss when justice and peace meet too
along the hungry and the thirsty streets
we see you in the ones we meet
our eyes are empty, our stomachs ‘full
how long, oh lord, ‘til your world’s made whole?
your-voice walking with them
our songs, so far from heaven

put a song in me like you people the streets of history
turn me upside by the hearts
i find in each street i’m walking
put clothes on shame teach us to sing
forgive our sins salvation ring
