Dust and Glory
Flesh of our flesh , bone of our bones
The creator redeemer stepped down from his throne
Linking this earth to the heavens again
Could only be done by God becoming a man.
We could not open heavens door
The sin that separates us evermore
Creates a wall that can’t be breached.
It far exceeds our meager reach.
We cannot lift our hands that high
We can’t live forever- we all must die
But he lives life thru me if I will obey
He gives the new life of resurrection day.
Dust and Glory- what a story
Woven together with mytery
Stop to hear it- flesh and spirit
This is the message of History.
Raise the song on high
That all people might embrace
This miracle of flesh and blood
With faith and trust enthrone Him
Highest and most holy
Light of light eternal
Let mytery be understood
By all who seek to know Him.
Dust and Glory- what a story
Woven together with mytery
Stop to hear it- flesh and spirit
This is the message of History.
