Daniel Amos - The Author Of The Story lyrics

She had one foot on the ground and one foot in the air It seemed the world held her cold hand while the angels brushed her hair "But that's how it has to end on this side of glory Some wounds will never mend," says the Author of the story I held one hand to the fire and lifted one hand towards the sky But the busy world still turned, and the angels pa**ed me by Sometimes there seems to be no Author of the story These thoughts occur to me on this side of glory And I kissed the Lamb of God, and my fingers found the wounds And the angels moved the stone, and I searched the vacant room That's how it all begins on this side of glory "And you'll see her shine again," says the Author of the story
