lyrics

you were the fire in the hearth,
a door against the cold,
four walls to keep out the world

you were a book of ancient truth,
wiser than the sun,
a hero’s tale of how the west was won.

you were the only one.
you were all of these and none.
you were the darkness and the sun.

you were an unexpected storm
on a sunny summer day,
deep and dark, boiling black and gray

you were a windless open sea,
no breeze to fill the sails
and hope to reach your shore always failed.

you were the troubled one.
you were all of these and none.
you were the darkness and the sun.

there were things i should have said
but i learned too late you were also the thread.

you were the faithful one.
you were all of these and none.
you were the darkness and the sun.

Just discovered these guys at a live show (Christmas concert, which I normally avoid). Blown away. Heart and energy. Not sweet, not preachy. Brought interesting people together on stage and in audience. REALLY cool. Mitchell Wade

It's like seasoning to food...it flavors the spiritual and blesses the walk I have with Jesus Christ. My God, and Savior. How wonderful He is and how He who made the universe, the beauty of the earth, cares for us and loves us... arterry
