Bruce Cockburn - Dweller By a Dark Stream lyrics

It could have been me put the thorns in your crown Rooted as I am in a violent ground How many times have I turned your promise down Still you pour out your love Pour out your love I was a dweller by a dark stream A crying heart hooked on a dark dream In my convict soul I saw your love gleam And you showed me what you've done Jesus, thank-you joyous Son You entered a life like ours to give us back our own You wanted us like you, as choosers not clones You offered up your flesh and d**h was overthrown Now salvation is ours, Salvation is ours I was a dweller by a dark stream A crying heart hooked on a dark dream In my convict soul I saw your love gleam And you showed me what you've done Jesus, thank-you joyous Son So I'm walking this prison camp world I long for a glimpse of the new world unfurled The chrysalis cracking and moisten winds uncurl Like in the vision John saw The vision John saw I was a dweller by a dark stream A crying heart hooked on a dark dream In my convict soul I saw your love gleam And you showed me what you've done Jesus, thank-you joyous Son
