lyrics

I have heard the cry of angels
Holding fast beyond the blue
But their heaven song rings a mournful tune
And I have seen the Word among us
Written on the lonely road
But I'm blinded by the shining streets of gold

Did I fall into the fire?
Hide my face among the ground?
Was I broken by the devil's chains unbound
For I have heard the voice within me
Reaching for the promised land
But I long to see the scarlet in your hand

Cuz I'm the seed of your blood
Born of fear and sorrow
In the dust, in the flood
So raise the stone of your love
And let it fall upon me
With the light from above

Still I run across the desert
Hunted by a wicked rain
And this wilderness grows a soil of pain
But lo, a rose of will and wonder
Holy thorn among the ruin
Could this bleeding flower break a heart brand new?

Cuz I'm the seed of your blood
Born of fear and sorrow
In the dust, in the flood
So raise the stone of your love
And let it fall upon me
With the light from above

I have heard the cry of angels
Holding fast beyond the blue
But their heaven song rings a mournful tune
But lo, a rose of will and wonder
Holy thorn among the ruin
Could this bleeding flower break a heart brand new?

Cuz I'm the seed of your blood
Born of fear and sorrow
In the dust, in the flood
So raise the stone of your love
And let it fall upon me
With the light from above
