A Life Story
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
sky-wild
far cry
wings-slash-free
Christ is born for you and me
wind rush
reed bend
storm tossed sea...
Christ is nailed upon a tree
mists part
sunrise
Shining Key...
Christ is risen to lead us free
