Kingdom Behind the Wall |
A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city, and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. Prov. 18:19 |
Thoughtless words Won't return Like a stone thrown in haste Silent stares Guilt unearned They can lay love to waste Hearts grow cold Anger burns Till the tears no longer fall And the sun's going down On the kingdom behind the wall Someone reigns In a room On a throne made of stone Could be me Could be you How the wall's height has grown Piece by piece Course by course Bound by bitterness and gall And the victor retreats To the kingdom behind the wall (instrumental interlude "Beginning of Wisdom" theme) Tender hands Break the bars With the strength born of faith Gracious words Bind the scars While there's life, hope awaits Reaching up Love wins out And there's freedom after all As we open the way To the kingdom behind the wall (c) 2001 Steve Christy/SGIW Music |
