Lyrics Having Caught a Glimpse - Glass Hammer

Having Caught a Glimpse

Having caught a glimpse of his perfect face in the mirror
Seeing but a poor reflection
Longing fills my heart
And then I hear the echo of
Singing that no earthly voice could make
If you will listen you will hear
The sound of singing as the morning dawns
The sun will rise, then you will go
You are a prisoner no more
Now I know I must surrender everything
All to him
Knowing I must die to live anew
If you will listen you will hear
The sound of singing as the morning dawns
The sun will rise, then you will go
You are a prisoner no more
Lay down your sorrow and behold him
Rise up like children we will follow him
For we return unto our father
Our King, behold him now our Father
Watching our lives rush by in the mirror’s poor reflection
We never really see the true life waiting just beyond
It’s such a weary world that groans beneath the curse
If only we could go home
(Backing Vocals)
Rise up, rise up and go
Your curse is broken now
Rise up, Come forth
She sees him standing there
Her King and father
Eyes bright and shining, and full of love
Standing by to claim her for his bride, her prince has come
Now her sorrow is turned to
Joy…
