Hymn #76

歌詞

To meet me is to dare into the darkness If you are devoted to a dream Go and light the lantern Leave your family abandoned Meet me by the shallow of the stream Oh, meet me by the shallow of the stream To ask me is to love with hesitation My answer is the same as it has been Here is my affection No conditions and no questions Open up the door and let me in Oh, open up the door and let me in To trust me is to travel past the towers Those that make it back from here are few It takes all of your devotion To have courage for a moment The world has bested better men than you Oh, the world has bested better men than you To love me is to sit upon the mountain Every step is harder than the last But to find the step above it Is to triumph, is to summit Taste the frigid water from the tap Oh, taste the frigid water from the tap To curse me for the life we left behind us Is to misremember what was God’s For from the vacant cradle To the empty kitchen table Show me what was precious; it was lost Oh, I’m sorry that I said it, and I know it might be reckless Oh, show me what was precious; it was lost
