Bearer of Light Cast in the Night
Bearer of Light
You come to me,
Devoutly committed
I long to be.
Bearer of Light
Your image I bear,
Seeking so deeply
There’s no time to spare
Bearer of Nations
The torch I hold high,
Denying the truth
Some fall to the side.
Deeply travailing
We cry through the night,
Wake up all you sinners!
Be pleasing, His sight!
Deep in the valley
Decisions are made.
Which way to turn
No time to sway.
Open the window
Let darkness come in,
Those who are falling
Choose life, or choose sin.
Open you heavens!
Open wide you gates!
The torrent survivors
Disdained in their fate.
Likened to wonder
A stormed wall disgraced.
Halleluiah! Sing Praises!
Halleluiah! His Name!
Walls of wonder
Walls of fame
The valley decides
A destiny waits.
Awakened believers,
Awakened now come.
They suffer Her torment
To the ground they’re run.
Escaping no more
She’s captured and torn,
To pieces she lies
No longer forlorn.
Perpetua knew
With sword she was slewn,
Her majesty waited
Longing her soon.
Judges and leaders
Nations and kings,
No one escapes
This last final ring
Fire! Oh Fire!
His judgment shall come!
Higher and higher!
The blood shall run.
Nations! Oh Nations!
Await the Great Day!
The Lord God Almighty
With sword much to slay!
Goodnight wicked dreamers!
Twisted inside.
Goodbye tended sloon!
No barracks to hide.
Havoc to mend,
No counsel to wrought.
Paid with a price
Multitudes bought.
Goodnight wasted temples!
Good fortune, no last,
Appealing to many
Decisions made fast.
Amen
Wretched sinners
Turn from your ways,
A darkness is coming
No man can display.
Beyond recognition
Remains to be seen,
Hold that which is close
That you can glean.
Don’t take the mark,
Whatever you do,
Choose your profession
Hold tightly at noon.
Open the gates!
The fire it dwells,
Deep in the pit
That Dragon cast hell.
