Thousands of people lose their faith,
As thousands of people begin to pray to a god
They only know by name.
Some cry out, “Why would you let this happen?”
Some whisper, “I knew it all along;
How could a god who says I love you
Let this madness go so long?”
Faithful weep and doubters curse,
As an empty heart fills an empty hearse.
His children scream out, “Why?
We weren’t the ones who yelled, ‘Crucify!’”
I’m so scared, but there’s light in the morning,
But you, will still cry in the morning
Cause I, will go in the morning,
And you’ll be alone in the morning,
And I, will die in the morning,
And you, will cry in the morning,
But I, will see light in the morning,
And there, will be no more mourning.
This life I have, I want to live,
But it’s His to take as it’s His to give.
I only wish you didn’t have to cry.
A chapter ends but not the story,
How I hope it was for his glory.
I ask you please, don’t let yours go to waste.
Here I am, I face the end.
I always knew it would come to this,
But I don’t want to die.
It was for my sins they yelled, “Crucify!”
I’m so scared, but there’s light in the morning,
But you, will still cry in the morning
Cause I, will go in the morning,
And you’ll be alone in the morning,
And I, will die in the morning,
And you, will cry in the morning,
But I, will see light in the morning,
And there, will be no more mourning.
If it’s His will that I don’t awaken,
Then please don’t be shaken,
Cause I know if I’m taken,
I’m taken home.
And if it’s time to go,
Then I will let you know,
And we can say our last goodbyes.
And you can hold me tightly,
And feel my body,
While it’s still warm.
A new record from Sondre Lerche is packed full of big hooks, bigger feelings, and twinkly instrumentation more minimalist than baroque. Bandcamp New & Notable May 7, 2020
