Idumea

We all had different reasons to be there

There was a light up ahead that only we were seeing

And we only have the stories at the end

Secrets and confessions and mostly told to strangers

That all things will pass by and by

Is the only promise that we need

And to raise up our eyes as we walk on the stone

And to go as the long road will lead

The birds were watching silent from the trees

As we came down from the hills, dust blowing from our footprints

And all to see a miracle unfold

A place that we had dreamed, a different kind of justice

And am I born to die?

To lay this body down!

And must my trembling spirit fly

Into a world unknown?

And see the Judge with glory crowned

And see the flaming skies!
