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
