Trevor Sadler - Rejoice & Lament lyrics

Learn this lesson well, my friend There's a time to rejoice and lament Every season will find an end All will fade and be made new again Standing on the rocks of the railroad tracks Feet calloused, eyes open, sun beats on my back As I gaze upon the unseen winds And they are wandering, whispering Wisdom that's eternal From the heart to the mind To the hand to the journal Now the kernel of the seeds in the cleft of the rock And it's watered by the winds Having power to unlock and Stop the clock of chronological logic With its h*mogenized systems That are dead and can't dodge it Being deaf to the voice of the Almighty One Spirit illumines the dark like a fire Revealing the way that was hidden but is higher Now we must travel on the wings That will never grow tired Of searching the mysteries of God I said Father the feathers of my wax wings Fall away by the rising of the sun And I have descended when I was undone And I will ascend when your Spirit comes Because what's been done and overcome Cannot be stopped by the power of any human Like the number of sand we will stand And we will fall, all In the face of an eternal call But those who call on His name In the midst of the pain In the guilt and the shame And the world full of blame And all the bloody stains From the unjust gains I learned all men suffer the same Because we're wayward sons And all our jokes betray Our foolish hearts and our selfish ways But if we would turn to the Father's grace We would never be the same This is an unseen land of a devastated soul That's prepared in contemplative silence For the mighty working hand of an unseen Lord To come restore this land from its violence I said walk another mile Stare across the fields of grain This is how the prophets train Learn this lesson well my friend There's a time to rejoice and lament Every season will find an end All will fade and be made new again
