Tom Wood - Hallowed Be Thy Name lyrics

Father we beseech You, always asking We call out Your name, continually searching We are on a journey, the river of this lifetime Like the voyagers of old Lost but continuing to explore Fixated on the journey Paddling the winding endless river Slogging over the portages Looking for the end time The compa** of this journey is Your name We live by Your name, but in vain We cannot grasp the meaning of Your name We twist and contort Your name like a tornado spinning and sweeping across a vast prairie mesa Creating the dust bowl of this lifetime, littered with the broken tumble weeds of our lives We whom, You have created and so lovingly nurtured Blessed, oh how You have blessed us We cannot live by the good graces of Your name alone We must k** in Your name We must enslave in Your name We must maim in Your name We must do all manner of evil in Your name We build churches in Your name Grand edifices to be sure Opulent like the palaces of old Temples to some But it is not the same For it is once again in vain Nothing begets nothing Edifices built in your name Money changers of the edifices be cast out Power mongers of the edifices be cast out Those who distort others like twisted metal, be cast out They and we live Distorting Your name Enslaving others, by invocation of Your name We cannot grasp the essence of Your name For it eludes us, like the willowy wisps of a campfires smoke Drifting beyond our grasp Fading into the nothingness of the invisible air Soon forgotten as fragile memories dim We beseech You Father Teach us once again The meaning of Your Hallowed name
