lyrics

THE DEATH OF DEATH
Words and Music ©2010 Wendell Kimbrough.

Told myself I was leaving; had no love left to give.
I was angry from screaming at a man who would not live.
These are things beyond my power, things that I can’t control.
Who can blame my surrender? Who can tell me I’m wrong?

So I sailed to the far side, with my white flag up against the waves.
When I saw that I was losing, I admit I was scared and ran away.

This is life on the dark side of the sword and the flame,
And my clenched fists are bleeding from a fight I can’t sustain.
As I fled from my outpost, as I took on the blame,
All the ground I surrendered, all my friends have reclaimed.

And they came with their arms full of the good things that I had thrown away;
And I watched as their candles turned the night that was round us into day.

You have built up the dark side, buried men down deep beneath their shame,
But the heel that you strike now will return to trample on your face.
We have smashed down the doors now, and the light floods in upon your face;
All your prisoners are laughing, and your former slaves are giving thanks.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

This is a great collection of settings for the Psalms. It's diverse in it's music as well as in the poetry. Some has a Reformation/Puritan feel, others are much more modern retellings. Garrett Lee
