The Dancer

I’ve done my time and I’ve drunk all the wine

Seen the hard wind take a good man down

I lived and I learned

Raised the flag, bruised and burned

And crawled back home, lost and found

I’ve seen the side of the ocean wide

And the answer was written as the sun went down

She came to me in hope

And she threw down her rope

And led me to the garden, lost and found

In truth, my friends

This life has no end

And I’ve been running for an answer

But He wrote it note for note, wrapped it up in love

So it’s on my knees like a dancer

Oh mercy of peace

And guardian of grace

Oh perfect and healing arranger

Lay your hand upon my head

And lift me off the bed
