I Can Hear You Lyrics

In the weight of waning morning

And the anxious dreams of things I've yet to see

The forests are on fire

And I can't hear above the roar of time and greed

But buried in my body

Is a Name that spoke in light before the world

Who would die to call us holy

And for love would give back all that he was owed

And I can hear you breathing

From the surface of the deep

Would you fall in tongues of fire

Would you teach men how to speak

Would you come and by your dwelling

Kill the death inside of me?

'Cause you promised to remind me

And you promised to never leave

I think the codices are breaking

But when they tear down every line and stippled page

You'll still be standing here before me

In the breath and flesh and blood that you have changed

And that's a resurrected body

'Cause I don't know what else

Can bear the weight of everything I've cost

And we're so scared of being lonely

But the Word of God was never really gone

And I can hear you singing

Over all that I can't save

Saying "I will stand beside you

And I will not turn away

Surely suffering will find you

For it found me just the same

But I'm with you in the valley

You don't have to be afraid

I'll be with you in the valley

You don't have to

You don't ever have to be afraid"

And I can hear you singing

Of a city and a tree

There was evening there was morning

There's a table and a feast

And I'm trying to hold on to it

I'm trying to believe

So I'll wait a little longer

While I'm in the in-between

I will wait a little longer a little more

While we're here in the in-between
