(Verse)
The sky is bruised, a heavy shade of slate
We walked as corpses through the iron gate
Chained to the whispers of the Prince of Air
Drowning in the salt of our own despair.
But mercy is a tide that refuses to break
A ghostly light for the soul’s own sake
From the tomb of the self, we rise, we bloom
Carved from the shadows of a hollow room.
(Verse)
We scale the heights of the celestial spheres
Beyond the reach of the passing years.
Seated in the heavens where the shadows flee
Locked in the pulse of a grand decree.
Wake up, O sleeper, and rise from the dead!
The light of the Dawn is crowning your head.
From the sting of the dark to the throne of the King
We find the secret that the silent stars sing.
(Pre-Chorus)
Not by the works of these bleeding hands
But by the grace that the stars command
A mystery hidden before the suns were spun
The many are gathered, the many are one.
(Chorus)
For by grace you have been saved through faith;
it is the gift of God;
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus.
(Verse)
The middle wall of partition lies in dust
Broken by the blood, the iron, and the trust
No longer strangers in a land of ghosts
But kin to the light and the heavenly hosts.
Deep calls to deep in the velvet night
Rooted and grounded, reaching for the height
To know the love that surpasses all mind
The treasure that the blind were meant to find.
(Chorus)
For by grace you have been saved through faith;
it is the gift of God;
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus.
(Bridge)
Put on the iron. Put on the flame.
Gird the waist with truth, forget the shame.
The breastplate of justice, the sandals of peace
Until the wars of the spirit finally cease.
Extinguish the arrows, the fiery darts
With the shield of faith held over our hearts.
The Sword of the Spirit, the Word like a blade
In the shadow of the Cross, we are unafraid.
(Chorus)
For by grace you have been saved through faith;
it is the gift of God;
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus.
(Chorus)
For by grace you have been saved through faith;
it is the gift of God;
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus.
(Outro)
The seal is set in the Spirit’s breath
A life eternal in the face of death.
(Fading) Grace be with all who love the Lord...
In sincerity...
In the dark...
In the light...
