There’s a longing for the Father who’s gone, a yearning for that abiding embrace that speaks rest for the weary who’re trapped in place
But there is a trace in the blood and the sword, a will-o-wisp that entrances the weak and the poor
Eat this calf I’ve been preparing, and wear this robe that I’ve been wearing
Speak to your son who’s been caring for your lambs, and speak to your son whose pride is in a sham
Speak to me…
Oh I’ve eaten my fill of the pigs’ pods and I’ve sown your fields with sweat and blood
And there’s no guilt in life or fear in death, but all I ever wanted was your presence
And remember your Word, for it’s my only hope, and when the man said to whom else shall we go? He spoke the truth that even when you’re gone there is no one but you, my God my God
Speak to me…
Father may your will be done
And when you hear the cry of this son
My your battle cry be “bring him home”
Bring him home, bring him home, in your presence he is home
