Resurrection Band - Where Roses Grow lyrics

Empty promises that were etched in stone
Scattered by the wind to places I have known
All the burning lamps by the window
Pane, lit for their return
But they never came
I lose myself in deep regret
Still I hear a voice that I can't forget

It says we will run where roses grow
Our feet unbound at last
Laugh as morning dawns the
Night forever passed
See the face of glory, feel the river flow
Hear the voice of God and
Run where roses grow

Fading hope is gathered as the sky grows dim
Somewhere it's raining
But it's droughtdrought within
Out across the desert - was it
Fate or was it chance?
I saw clouds approaching where
I took my stance

They say we will run where roses grow
Our feet unbound at last
Laugh as morning dawns the
Night forever passed
See the face of glory, feel the river flow
Hear the voice of God and
Run where roses grow
Hear the thunder rolling - can
You hear the horn?
I'm climbing Jacob's ladder up
Through the storm

Stand with me at the mercy seat
With moundsmounds of ashes spread
About my feet
You know who I am, all I think I know
See it in the marrow, buried deep in the bone
How is there no anger in the words I hear
Only love and mercy erasing every fear?

You say we will run where roses grow
Our feet unbound at last
Laugh as morning dawns the
Night forever passed
See the face of glory, feel the river flow
Hear the voice of God and
Run where roses grow
Hear the thunder rolling - can
You hear the horn?
I'm climbing Jacob's ladder up, up
Up through the storm
