Lyrics
[Intro] [Gentle Scripture Parchment & Felt Piano]
Gathering Possessions for the Distant Country...
Luke 15:13.
Listen to the Word of God: 'The younger son got together all he had
set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.'
[Verse 1] [Fingerpicked Acoustic & Cello Drone]
In the sacred pages of the Scriptures pure and bright
Where the Holy Spirit guides our footsteps in the light
The younger son got together all he had
set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.
Walking in the covenant where holy saints have stood
No handcrafted idols, no traditions made of men
Returning to the living Word of Scripture once again
Gathering Possessions for the Distant Country shining like a beacon in the land
Held securely in our Heavenly Father's mighty hand
[Pre-Chorus] [Acoustic Guitar & Sacred Choir]
Faithful is the promise that is given from above
Rooted in the truth of God's eternal sacred love
[Chorus] [Sacred Resonant Worship Climax]
Leaving the father's house to wander in the empty distant land
Where the truest affections of the righteous ever stay
Worshiping in Spirit and in Truth along the way
Sing out, stand firm, let the pure grace flow
The greatest sacred love that we will ever know!
[Verse 2] [Felt Piano & Vocal Counterpoint]
Every holy commandment brings a quiet, noble peace
Where the blessings of the Lord will never have to cease
We look upon Mount Zion and we see the truth revealed
Where the covenant of Elohim is eternally unsealed
[Bridge] [Soaring Vocal Belt & Full Sacred Ensemble]
Oh, heaven and earth will pass away, but His Word stands sure
The testimony of our God forever shall endure
Passover, Sabbath, Feasts of God divine
Worshiping our Maker in His glorious grand design!
[Chorus] [Full Grand Sacred Climax]
Leaving the father's house to wander in the empty distant land
Where the truest affections of the righteous ever stay
Worshiping in Spirit and in Truth along the way
Sing out, stand firm, let the pure grace flow
The greatest sacred love that we will ever know!
[Outro] [Acoustic Foley & Soft Organ Fading]
Gathering Possessions for the Distant Country...
To Elohim God be all the glory. Amen.
[Fade Out]
