A Cup of Trembling (Live At Nearfest 2003)

歌詞

Why Why do I search for the reasons Never content just to be Something is waiting and something is near Not found in battle and not found in love Of the earthly sort These won’t last Mere shadows of glory God Here stands a man who can claim such What sort of madness is this Here in Judea- a land full of prophets And quoters of scriptures A carpenter’s son has the gall to claim He is God The keeper of glory I’d hoped to find glory But never like this See, I thought I could win it Thought I could make for myself a crown I would find what I sought at the point of my spear Yet this man, he speaks so clearly Heaven, Heaven, and only there I’ll find what I need I’ll find what we’ve all lost That kingdom called glory No! Maybe I just need to grow up Starting to sound rather mad Melodramatic, a hopeless romantic Just like the rabble, the poor and the blind They follow him They can keep him This won’t last And this isn’t glory I’d hoped to find glory But never like this I thought I could win it What I yearn for Somehow earn more I’m a soldier and a Roman And a champion of the law Yet this man, he speaks so clearly Heaven, Heaven, there and only there
