It haunts me so
This gloomy weight
That comes and goes
Without a trace
A thousand times my flesh embrace
A thousand more but if for grace
To see the Lord the promise land
Where in all sins pearly gates look bland
And what was once a pearl now sand
That blows away in light of Him
When battle lines become unclear
And the waging war is all I hear
Lord, sustain me with Your voice
And the choice to walk in truth
That I might see this day
This waging war might go away
And be no more
That I might see his face
And hear Him say
Son welcome home
The war is over
To see the Lord, the promise land
Where in all sins pearly gates look bland
And what was once a pearl now sand
That blows away
That blows away
That blows away in light of Him
Oh go away
Go away
Go away in light of Him
Blow away, o waging war of sin
Phil 3:7-8
