lyrics

Hold me now,
While my grip is weak,
While by body’s shaking,
And I’m losing sleep,

My enemies,
Whether man or thought,
In the grass are hidden,
Fleshing out a plot,

None of them can stand to face Him,
With such emptiness and greed.

The world is pulsing,
Trying to hold it down,
Trying to put out fires,
Trying to hold some ground,

Feels like two steps forward,
At least as many back,
Not a destination,
Or a leveled track,

Flag a ride or take a ticket,
For a better place to land,
Do not put your trust in princes,
Or belief in modern man,
Aim for home the city’s coming,
Where the light will never end.

And I’ll plan to meet you there,
When the Spirit’s everywhere,
And there’s nothing left but peace,
No more reason for relief,
And I’m calling out your name,
Cause I know you never change,
And I need a constant now,
To get me through to holy ground,
To end a search for something found,
Where infinity abounds,
Where no one ever fights for air,
There,

I’m looking forward,
And clocking time,
Cause I can feel it coming,
And I can read the signs,

Flag a ride or take a ticket,
For a better place to land,
Do not put your trust in princes,
Or belief in modern man,
Aim for home the city’s coming,
Where the light will never end.
