Dweller By A Dark Stream |
It could have been me put the thorns in your crown |
Rooted as I am in a violent ground |
How many times have I turned your promise down |
Still you pour out your love |
Pour out your love |
I was a dweller by a dark stream |
A crying heart hooked on a dark dream |
In my convict soul I saw your love gleam |
And you showed me what you’ve done |
Jesus, thank-you joyous Son |
You entered a life like ours to give us back our own |
You wanted us like you, as choosers not clones |
You offered up your flesh and death was overthrown |
Now salvation is ours |
Salvation is ours |
I was a dweller by a dark stream |
A crying heart hooked on a dark dream |
In my convict soul I saw your love gleam |
And you showed me what you’ve done |
Jesus, thank-you joyous Son |
So I’m walking this prison camp world |
I long for a glimpse of the new world unfurled |
The chrysalis cracking and moisten winds uncurl |
Like in the vision John saw |
The vision John saw |
I was a dweller by a dark stream |
A crying heart hooked on a dark dream |
In my convict soul I saw your love gleam |
And you showed me what you’ve done |
Jesus, thank-you joyous Son |
