lyrics
Maywood
One handful of quietness is better by far
Than two hands beating the wind.
But the time to lie down is hard to discern
From the time to stand and contend.
When I stretched out my hand to the paralyzed man,
I prayed that your hand would reach out instead.
And when I looked for your face to strengthen my spirit,
You were there in the hospital bed.
There’s a pain in my side from running all night
At this pace it’s so hard to breathe in.
Jesus, You must have known when you gave up your ghost
That you had endured to the end
Could you tell me if that’s where I am?
The Lord will renew the face of the earth
The Lord will renew the face of the earth
Creation is groaning, is speaking this word,
“The Lord will renew the face of the earth”
You make all things new
At the supper we shared, I took you aside
For what I could not tell the rest.
Jesus, I’d only hoped for your hand on my head
You pulled my head to your breast, and I wept
You make all things new
One handful of quietness is better by far
Than two hands beating the wind.
But the time to lie down is hard to discern
From the time to stand and contend.
When I stretched out my hand to the paralyzed man,
I prayed that your hand would reach out instead.
And when I looked for your face to strengthen my spirit,
You were there in the hospital bed.
There’s a pain in my side from running all night
At this pace it’s so hard to breathe in.
Jesus, You must have known when you gave up your ghost
That you had endured to the end
Could you tell me if that’s where I am?
The Lord will renew the face of the earth
The Lord will renew the face of the earth
Creation is groaning, is speaking this word,
“The Lord will renew the face of the earth”
You make all things new
At the supper we shared, I took you aside
For what I could not tell the rest.
Jesus, I’d only hoped for your hand on my head
You pulled my head to your breast, and I wept
You make all things new
