|
It haunts me so |
|
This gloomy wait |
|
That comes and goes without a trace |
|
A thousand times I flesh embrace |
|
A thousand more, but here for grace |
|
To see the Lord, The Promise Land |
|
Where in those sins, pearly gates look bland |
|
What once was a pearl, now sand |
|
That blows away, that blows away in light of him |
|
When battle lines become unclear |
|
And the waging war is all I hear |
|
Lord, sustain me with your voice |
|
And the choice to walk in truth |
|
To see the Lord, The Promise Land |
|
Where in those sins, pearly gates look bland |
|
And what was once a pearl, now sand |
|
That blows away, that blows away in light of him |
|
That I might see this day |
|
This waging war |
|
Might go away and be no more |
|
That I may see his face, and hear him say |
|
Son welcome home, the war is over |
|
To see the Lord, The Promise Land |
|
Where in all sins, pearly gates look bland |
|
And what was once a pearl, now sand that blows away |
|
That blows away, that blows away in light of him |
|
Go away, Oh go away, go away in light of him |
|
Oh, blow away a waging war of sin |
