when the saints - sara groves lyrics

Loading...

lord i have a heavy burden of all i’ve seen and know
it’s more than i can handle
but your word is burning like a fire shut up in my bones
and i cannot let it go

and when i’m weary and overwrought
with so many battles left unfought

i think of paul and silas in the prison yard
i hear their song of freedom rising to the stars
and when the saints go marching in
i want to be one of them

lord it’s all that i can’t carry and cannot leave behind
but your word has compelled me
when i think of all who’ve gone before me and lived the faithful life

and when i’m weary and overwrought
with so many battles left unfought

i think of paul and silas in the prison yard
i hear their song of freedom rising to the stars

i see the shepherd moses in the pharohs court
i hear his call of freedom for the people of the lord

and when the saints go marching in
i want to be one of them
and when the saints go marching in
i want to be one of them

i see the long quiet walk along the underground railroad
i see the slave awakening to the value of her soul

i see the young missionary and the end of the spear
i see his family returning with no trace of fear

i see the long hard shadows of calcutta nights
i see the sisters standing by the lepers side

i see the young girl huddled on the brothel floor
i see the man with a p-ssion come and kicking down the door

i see the man of sorrows and his long troubled road
i see the world on his shoulders and my easy load
