Jesus Alone lyrics

[Verse 1]

You fell from the sky

Crash landed in a field

Near the river Adur

Flowers spring from the ground

Lambs burst from the wombs of their mothers

In a hole beneath the bridge

You convalesced, you fashioned masks of clay and twigs

You cried beneath the dripping trees

Ghost song lodged in the throat of a mermaid

[Chorus]

With my voice

I am calling you

[Verse 2]

You're a young man waking

Covered in blood that is not yours

You're a woman in a yellow dress

Surrounded by a charm of hummingbirds

You're a young girl full of forbidden energy

Flickering in the gloom

You're a drug addict lying on your back

In a Tijuana hotel room

[Chorus]

With my voice

I am calling you

With my voice

I am calling you

[Verse 3]

You're an African doctor harvesting tear ducts

You believe in God, but you get no special dispensation for this belief now

You're an old man sitting by the fire, you're the mist rolling off the sea

You're a distant memory in the mind of your creator, don't you see?

[Chorus]

With my voice

I am calling you

With my voice

I am calling you

[Post-Chorus]

Let us sit together until the moment comes

[Chorus]

With my voice

I am calling you

[Post-Chorus]

Let us sit together in the dark until the moment comes

[Chorus]

With my voice

I am calling you

With my voice

I am calling you

With my voice

I am calling you

With my voice

I am calling you
