Zebulun Barnow - Hi Lyrics

I will sing of grace forever, proclaim belief with just my voice
Built to last and stay together thus surrounded we rejoice
A deal was made with whom I chose my family and children
May they always be at peace for countless generations

Everywhere we praise and wonder in the presence of esteem
There is no equivalent in our most lucid dream
You are the host of power among those who believe
The mightiest of waves, that is your voice to me
The creatures of the sea, they know the force of you
In the trees and on the ground, determines what we do
Pole to pole and in between your influence inspires
Overwhelming satisfaction, smiles and desire

What you wield is daunting, no man could control
Righteousness and justice, the foundation of your throne
To hear the joyful shout is like bathing in the light
We celebrate this feeling, gives focus to our sight

We exalt this glory, heals us as we do
This is our protection against the hitherto
In our imagination we sense you have chosen us
Sacred smells are everywhere and all support your trust

What I build reflects this, the work that I create
The foes will be defeated if they dare to desecrate
Diffuse the evil impulse, erase the use of hate
Employ consideration, thus I elevate

I witness the connection of the river and the sea
Elevate the sufferers whose hope has retreated
The rhythm of creation is all a part of me
Balance brought to those who deny the defeated
The innocence of children, a leader's majesty
Raise the kneeling souls from their tragedies
Continual compassion, endless empathy
Show the privileged what they need to see

It will last forever, I hope others know
Though cycles change direction it's all ebb and flow
Mistakes become transgressions, punishments severe
Suffering is part of life though the cause may not be clear
It will be there when we need it, the deal remains intact
We cannot possess it, that makes it a fact
Sun and moon share the sky, bear witness to our time
Similar and different, exist as you and I

Suddenly we feel you've gone, we're stripped and vulnerable
The deal feels interrupted, is this possible
Solid once feels shattered, scattered and destroyed
It feels as though we've been robbed, gutted and devoid
Someone else is laughing, we don't understand
Try to muster energy, this is not what we planned
What we once admired is trampled on the ground
At once old and tired and to our failures bound

These dark days we seek you, only fire and fury
Life is just too short for this trial without jury
The light is dim before us, we can't elude the grave
We're compelled to seek you out, we cannot ourselves save
Remember how they taunted us in tongues we do not know
They build a wall to block each direction that we go

Yet I believe
