Below my feet

You were cold as the blood
through your bones.
And the light which led us
from our chosen homes.
Well I was lost.

And now I sleep,
sleep the hours that I can't weep.
When all I knew was steeped.
in blackened hopes.
Well I was lost.

Keep the earth below my feet.
For all my sweat,
my blood runs week.
Let me learn from where I have been.
Keep my eyes to serve,
my hands to learn.
Keep my eyes to serve,
my hands to learn.

And I was still
but I was under your spell.
When I was told by
Jesus all was well.
So all must be well.
Just give me time.
Well you know your desires
and mine.
So wrap my flesh in ivy
and in twine.
For I must be well.

Keep the earth below my feet.
For all my sweat,
my blood runs week.
Let me learn from where I have been.
Keep my eyes to serve,
my hands to learn.
Keep my eyes to serve,
my hands to learn.
