about

featuring Nick Detty of Wolves at the Gate

lyrics

He has everything he's ever wanted in this life.
I have nothing, a poor man begging.
His coat costs more than my life these days.
I sleep at his gate hoping for scraps to eat.

I'm getting weaker everyday.
Your feasts are greater everyday.

It seems I've taken my last breath tonight.
No more will I be begging. I'm feeling my soul take flight.
One on each arm, these angels carry me to Abraham's side.
Bury me in the ground, I've been given new life.

All Glory to God, I feel no pain!
My sores are gone. I thirst no more.
I will never have to beg again!
All Glory!


(Nick Detty)
I find this life has nothing to give me. I work to toil underneath the setting sun.
Holy Father, I live in anguish. These flames torment my very soul.
I can’t hide my shame. I see now I never honored Your name.
Take these rags, these riches, this state of mind where I have nothing to claim.
Warn my brothers, to trust the King who gave the poor man a new song to sing.
That the chasm we face is far too wide, without the Light, an ocean could not cause this fire to subside.
