You were cold as the blood through your bones

And the light which led us from our chosen homes

Well I was lost.

And now I sleep

Sleep the hours and that I can't weep

When all I knew was steeped in blackened holes

I was lost.

Keep the earth below my feet

For all my sweat, my blood runs weak

Let me learn from where I have been

Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn

Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn.

And I was still

I was under your spell

When I was told by jesus all was well

So all must be well.

Just give me time

You know your desires and mine

So wrap my flesh in ivy and in twine

For I must be well.

Keep the earth below my feet

For all my sweat, my blood runs weak

Let me learn from where I have been

Oh keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn

Oh keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn.

Keep the earth below my feet

For all my sweat, my blood runs weak

Let me learn from where I have been

Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn

Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn.
