YHWH

a prayer for the new year...

Take these shoes... Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes... And make them fit
Take this shirt... Polyester white trash made in nowhere
Take this shirt... And make it clean, clean
Take this soul... Stranded in some skin and bones
Take this soul... And make it sing
Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn
Take these hands Teach them what to carry
Take these hands Don't make a fist
Take this mouth So quick to criticize
Take this mouth Give it a kiss
Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn
Still waiting for the dawn, the sun is coming up
The sun is coming up on the ocean
His love is like a drop in the ocean
His love is like a drop in the ocean
Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, tell me now
Why the dark before the dawn?
Take this city A city should be shining on a hill
Take this city If it be Your will
What no man can own, no man can take
Take this heart Take this heart Take this heart
And make it break
