Father what have you in hand A land that bore a child to wear upon your knee
Moses went down to the Creek To wash our sins with hair that ran down to his feet To wash our sins as far as blindness can see
Follow me out to the yard And I'll place my promise Upon your hand so we can be
Father take me by the hand And lead me where you first fell down upon you knees And lead me where you first cried out upon your knees
Give me another name Make me a brighter shirt Send me a flaming word in the garden next to Peter Where I wait and sleep And awake with fever Like a clawing child in the garden next to Peter
Will you forgive who I am Or did you forsake who I am Did you foreknow how I am
To give me another name Make me a brighter shirt Send me a flaming word in the garden next to Peter Where I wait for peace and for my Keeper But still I find I'm in the garden next to neither
Where you forgive who I am Or did you forsake who I am Did you foreknow who I am Will you forget who I am Forget who I am
