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 don'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 and hands to learn

Keep my eyes to serve and hands to learn



So 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

Wrap my flesh in ivory 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

So keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn

Well 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
