Shadow of Shaddai

I was looking for love in the noise But you were in the silence, yeah

I'm gifted with a gab, I could speak in every tongue

From the streets of the city to where the angel songs are sung

But if I ain't got love, man, what's the point of the breath

I'm just a clanging cymbal dancing with the shadow of death

I could move a mountain, tell the peak to hit the sea

Have the faith of a giant, but it's nothing without thee

I could give my last meal, let the fire take my skin

But if love ain't the heartbeat, I'm just drowning in my sin

I'm a man in the mirror, and the glass is looking blurred

Searching for the spirit while I'm clinging to the word

Love is patient, love is kind It never should die, the peace you'll find

It doesn't boast, it has no pride With arms open wide, it is nothing to hide

I hop off stage, though the prophecies fail It's the anchor of hope when you're crossing the veil

The greatest defeat is the love from above The heart that should die, the wings of the dove

Love don't keep a record, it don't write down the dead

It forgives the goodbye and the words I regret It don't act rude, it don't demand its own path

It's the shield that I'm holding when I'm facing the wrath

See, I used to be a child thinking life was a game

Speaking like a boy who didn't know the power in the name

But I put away the toys and I'm standing like a man

Trying to see the beauty in El Shaddai's plan

Knowledge, it's a flick of prophecy, it's a spark

But love is the sun that's gonna shatter the dark

Now I see a puzzle, a reflection in the glass

But then I'll see you face to face when the shadows finally pass

All the secrets of the ages, all the things I didn't know

Will be washed away in mercy in the river's steady flow

Faith, hope, a harbor

Love is patient, love is kind It never should die, the peace you'll find

It doesn't boast, it has no pride

With arms open wide, it has nothing to hide

But a harbor

Stays though the prophecy fell

It's the anchor of hope when you're crossing the veil

Three things stay when the world burns down

But the greatest

But the greatest, you will know as you walk on

All the secrets of the ages, all the things I didn't know

Will be washed away in mercy in the river's steady flow

Faith, hope, a harbor

Love is patient, love is kind It never should die, the peace you'll find

It doesn't boast, it has no pride

With arms open wide, it has nothing to hide

But a harbor

Stays

Great

A harbor

Stays

Great

High

A harbor
