The Prophet |
Reluctant ride in the middle of the belly of a whale |
A wheel on fire in the middle of the sky |
Abandoned baby kicking on the side of the road |
And a wife has died but you’re denied the right to cry |
Three men walk out protected from a furnace of flame |
One man cries out from a miry well |
See a man in the myrtles and women with the wind in their wings |
Understand what these seared lips can tell |
I am the prophet and I smolder and burn |
I scream and cry and wonder why you never seemed to learn |
To hear with your own ears with your own eyes to see |
I am the prophet, won’t you listen to me? |
I am the prophet, won’t you listen to me? |
I hold out hope to everyone who hears and understands |
The Word of God can echo in the voice of a man |
He’s the shadow of a great rock in a dry and weary land |
With the names of the ones He loved carved into His hands |
The sorrow in His anger, my eyes weep His tears |
His life alight in me |
I am the sword that cuts His people apart |
I speak the Word that comforts their faithless hearts |
I am the prophet |
