"From the Briar" Lyrics

Briarheart

Briarheart, who is to blame
When you’ve ran out of patience
And can’t look away?

Briarheart,
Redeem us your life
Singing “all to the altar” with fear as your wife.
Oh all to the altar with fear as your wife.

So take a breath now,
Yes let it be bold
May it dance through your lungs,
May it softly take hold.

For God has a reason--
If you know the difference--
God won’t waste time giving dead man’s advice.
God take heart: I am dead man’s advice.

Great I Am,
Great is your grace for me.
Hear my cries for you, God,
Come, and take my sorrows away.

You are my shepherd,
I shall not want:
Leading me through green pastures,
Still waters by night.

Great I am,
Yes you who gives sight:
Almighty Great Fire
I take my hold.
In you great shelter, I make my mould!

Oh Great I Am,
Great is your grace for me.
Broken are my hands, Lord,
Come and work through me.

Well, come living Grace,
Yeah come unto me
Bearing hope as your sword--
Forgiveness your shield.

Oh Great I Am, Lord you give sight!
Oh lead me to freedom
Embracing the pain
The God of Love embraced the same!

So:
Briarheart heed your mind,
Hearts will betray but your faith will not.
Do not leave me behind.

Oh Great I Am,
Holy is your name.
Treasured above all, Lord,
Remember me my God.

Hallelujah
I rejoice!
Oh Great I Am!

So come to the table, young Briarheart
Come and drink with Forgiveness,
And hope with the Lamb.
Come give all the glory,
And receive His Heart.
