You were cold as the blood through your bones And the light which led us from our chosen homes Well I was lost
And now I sleep Sleep the hours and that I can't weep When all I knew was steeped in blackened holes I was lost
Keep the earth below my feet For all my sweat, my blood runs weak Let me learn from where I have been Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
And I was still I was under your spell When I was told by Jesus all was well So all must be well
Just give me time You know your desires and mine So wrap my flesh in ivy and in twine For I must be well
Keep the earth below my feet For all my sweat, my blood runs weak Let me learn from where I have been Oh keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn Oh keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
Keep the earth below my feet For all my sweat, my blood runs weak Let me learn from where I have been Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
