Veni Domine - In The Day Of The Sentinel lyrics

He came as a child, into a tired world After all the years of despair Just a child, but there was something in his eyes He was the son he was the lamb, ready to be sacrificed I saw a man, blood ran from his face A simple man as they led him up to calvary But did they know the reasons why To save the poor who seek their solace in the dark Just sign your name Just sign your name into the book of life Don't hesitate Don't be afraid of the shining in the sky Sentinel, sentinel Your kingdom will be veiled without your name Sentinel, sentinel You're the one who leads us through the gate He's the son - people receive him He's the son - people come near him He came as a child gentle as a dove But in the end he will return as a lion Can't you hear the call Of the angels Hosts of adonai O kingdom rise Kingdom appear On the horizon I feel he's near The sentinel has come for his own Sentinel, sentinel Your kingdom will be veiled without your name Sentinel, sentinel When that morning comes you will return See the sky, see the sky I can you feel your presence near Sentinel You will descend from above
