Sabbath Assembly - The Burning Cross Of Christ lyrics

Moonlight falls upon the earth Casts shadows filled with pain Like a torch that burns my home away A thousand hearts; here, burn them all The past turns from stone to wood Aflame, my search for lost love The blackened sky shrieks hatred at the moon Yet I, a feather in the smoke Take my harbor in the sun Charred to dust, a coal-filled mine of love A dove rises on her wings And charts her course straight into her dream Lead me the burning cross of Christ Give me water, save my life All the earth is bathed in gold Through the air my heart is sold to Him As His spirit lays me down I wish for another time to drown in Your flesh Turn the wheel with ageless love You on earth and me in heaven above Plagued by gunshots all around The girl, wounded, goes down Bleeds her love into the trees Soaks the roots, her tears on fallen leaves Rise, o children of the dead The spawn of blood now smoke in the air From all that dwell below the skies In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword O how our hearts beat with joy The heart of Christ still burning bright For all that dwell below the skies The cross of Christ still burning bright
