Come Further Up

There’s a song that I’ve wanted

To sing for so long

But the tune is just out of my grasp

I may see for a moment

When the lights reflects gold

But so delicate, slips from my hand

Every word that I sing

Is a cheap imitation

Of things that I don’t understand

Light reflecting on water

The picture gets harder to see

With the eyes of a man

I hear

Come further up, Come further in

The greatest story, none on earth have read

So I’ll search for the melody

Offering everything

Till I am called out by name

Cause the chord that was struck

On the strings of my heart

Is still echoing throughout my frame

And when this long day ends

And the morning begins

And the Song that has found me I’ll sing!

Written over my bones

In a carving on stone

By a rose, let my epitaph read

Come further up

Come further in

My greatest story

Has yet to be read

Marvel of Marvels

Of all that He said

I who am nothing

He called beloved
