Hidden

Hidden

 

Set your mind on things above… For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3

 

My life is hidden in God with Christ my Lord

My death an echo of his sundered grave

My song is tuning to a distant chord

 

My soul, dawn stirring in a twilit wood

In longing for his light is all my love

My life is hidden in God with Christ my Lord

 

Hear now the chirrup of a waking bird

While light is yet to creep through clouds above

My song is tuning to a distant chord

 

Waste shall fall from me and become the food

That cycles through the earth and makes it move

My life is hidden in God with Christ my Lord

 

World swirls around me with unwearying word

Selling the trash that glitters in its trove

My song is tuning to a distant chord

 

Here in the heavens with you is all my hoard

Here is the soul you spent yourself to save

My life is hidden in God with Christ my Lord

My song is tuning to a distant chord.
