The City I Long For The City I Long For (EP)歌詞
1.We'll Rise Again

We've know peace and we have known war
Seen prosperity trample the poor
With the hopes of those gone before
We live in faith

This world has nothing compared
To the promised glory we'll share
If we just hold fast 'til we're there
We live in faith

We'll rise again
Death's not the end
We'll rise again
Death's not the end

You knew sorrow and you knew our pain
You saw religion manipulate grace
By your wounds our sins are erased
We live in faith

This world it surely will fade
Just as night surrenders to day
When death is laid in the grave
We live in faith

We'll rise again
Death's not the end
We'll rise again
Death's not the end

We've know peace and we have known war
Seen prosperity trample the poor
With the hopes of those gone before
We live in faith


2.Now's Not The Time

It's too late and we can't sleep
Too many stories at our feet
Too many lives are on repeat
And we must show them

We've been paralyzed by fear
Paralyzed for many years
Held hostage by the lies
They have told us

Everybody sees the problems
But nobody wants to solve them

Now's not the time to look the other way
Now's not the time to put our love away
There's a glorious truth, a glorious news
That must be told, must be shown

Are we ever gonna lead
Are we ever gonna see
Or are we only gonna dream of
The way things ought to be

We can't expect to be received
We can't expect to be believed
But we can tell the truth of love
And invite the world to breathe

Now's not the time to look the other way
Now's not the time to put our love away
There's a glorious truth, a glorious news
That must be told, must be shown


3.Down To The Water

I'm going down to the water
I'm gonna wash away my sins
Getting baptized by the preacher
Coming up a better man

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

I'm going down to the chapel
I'm gonna say a prayer for you
Maybe Jesus will hear me
Though I don't know what I'll say

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

I'm going down to the city
I'm gonna walk among the leaves
It's cold but it's still pretty
Wonder if you ever think of me

Oh oh oh oh oh oh


4.Come Thou Fount

Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
mount of thy redeeming love.

Here I raise mine Ebenezer;
hither by thy help I'm come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.

O to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart, O take and seal it,
seal it for thy courts above.


5.It Is Well With My Soul

When peace, like a river,
Attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot,
Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
