[Verse 1]
Dust in the rafters
Oil smoke and breath
Sand on my sandals
Eyes fixed like death
I unroll the letters
Ink dark as the grave
Ancient aching promise
Waiting to be raised
[Verse 2]
The Spirit is upon Me
My voice cuts the hush
Good news to the broken
Chains ready to crush
Sight for the sightless
Release for the bound
A year of holy favor
Spoken out loud
[Chorus]
This word is fulfilled in your hearing
This fire has fallen today
You know my hands
But you don’t know My meaning
You speak my name
Then push Me away
This word is fulfilled in your hearing
Right here
In your narrow gaze
You know my face
But you won’t see the clearing
You shut the door and call it faith
[Verse 3]
They whisper to each other
“Is this not the son
Of the man who carved our doorways
The quiet village one?”
You want hometown wonders
Like stories that you’ve read
You want a painted prophet
Not the living bread
[Chorus]
This word is fulfilled in your hearing
This fire has fallen today
You know my hands
But you don’t know My meaning
You speak my name
Then push Me away
This word is fulfilled in your hearing
Right here
In your narrow gaze
You know my hands
But you don’t know My meaning
You speak my name
You know my face
But you won’t see the clearing
You shut the door and call it faith
[Bridge]
No healer in this harbor
No honor in this hall
You raise Me to your hilltop
To watch your Savior fall
But mercy walks the edges
Where widows weep alone
Where strangers die in famine
I make their hunger home
[Chorus]
This word is fulfilled in your hearing
This fire has fallen today
You know my hands
But you don’t know My meaning
You speak my name
Then push Me away
This word is fulfilled in your hearing
Right here
In your narrow gaze
You know my face
But you won’t see the clearing
You shut the door and call it faith
[Chorus]
This word is fulfilled in your hearing
This fire has fallen today
You know my hands
But you don’t know My meaning
You speak my name
Then push Me away
This word is fulfilled in your hearing
Right here
In your narrow gaze
You know my face
But you won’t see the clearing
You shut the door and call it faith
