Stones (Grapes After a Spar Version) Lyrics

Sometimes deliverance

Is standing on the shore

I put away my sword

And watch the waves recoil

But sometimes obedience

Is rolling up your jeans

I'm wading through the weeds

I step before I see

The cloud stops, I lay low

The fire moves, I follow

Keep my eyes wide, listen out

Am I to go or wait it out

There's a still, small voice saying

"Stand still," or, "Get moving"

Sometimes deliverance

Is pacing 'round a wall

A silent daily crawl

Just praying it'll fall

But sometimes obedience

Is going out to war

I'm tearing down the door

The battle is the Lord's

The fire stops, I lay low

The cloud moves, I follow

Keep my eyes wide, listen out

Am I to go or wait it out

There's a still, small voice saying

"Stand still," or, "Get moving"

I'm fighting for you

When have I let you down

When have I let you down

I'm ever with you

I'll never let you down

I'll never let you down

Sometimes deliverance

Is not before it's hard

Grapes after a spar

Canaan left a scar

But sometimes obedience

Is cherishing the road

I'm learning as I go

Keep setting up these stones

I'm marking my way home

With Ebenezer stones
