Spiritsong - Though You Slay Me lyrics

rate me

I walk most the dead men's heart

Not a semblance of your love near by to find

So I retreat into that secret place

And summon back your songbird

To sing until my spirit once again

And though it seems you've left me

As I walk throughout this fire

I know you won't forsake me in the end

Yet tears burn down my face as I'm griped with such despair

My heart is lunging for the daylight to arise

Chorus:

Though you slay me, yet shall I trust in you

Thought the winds of opposition toss me to and fro

Thou tellest my wanderings

put though my tears into Thy bottle

Are they not all written in Thy book?

Throughout my years on Earth I've met one sister of like mind

And though so many might stay in our way

Like a singbird came from Heaven

She does visits me each day

And sings unto my heart your peace and grace

Oh, my heart is pained within me,

left until myself I'd faint

Your grace is needed to endure these trials

I weaken with each step I take along this narrow way

Making sure to keep your song bird by my side

Chorus:

Though you slay me, yet shall I trust in you

Thought the winds of opposition toss me to and fro

Thou tellest my wanderings: put though my tears into Thy bottle:

Are they not all written in Thy book? (x6)

(1st Echo:)

To You, Oh Lord i cry both day and night

Sometimes i cry for you to take my life

My Father gives me eagle wings to fly

In You alone do i run and hide

Oh this bleeding, hurting, broken heart

For all eternity we’ll never be apart (8x’s)

(2nd Echo:)

Oh Lord, You are the One I will run to

Oh Sovereign Lord, You are the One I will cling to

Majestic Lord, I will always love You

Almighty Lord with every storm You’ll help me make it through
