lyrics

EVERY EVENING I HAVE SEEN

HAS BEEN LONG AND HAS BEEN LEAN

FROM BACK WHEN MAMA COOKED HER HOPE

INTO THE FAMILY PAN

AND WASHED IT OUT WITH HER FEET IN THE SAND

PAPA SOLD HIS FEAR INTO BARREN CLAY

BROTHERS AND SISTERS FADED AWAY

BUT I REMAINED HERE REVERENTLY

CAUSE THE HOLY GHOST GOT PLANS FOR ME



EVERY MORNING I HAVE READ

THE ONLY BOOK THAT'S BETTER THAN BREAD

FOR PUTTING BACK A POWER TO A WITHERING HAND

AND BURYING THE BURDEN OF A WANDERING MAN

EVEN THOUGH MY PATH HAS BEEN SO HARD TO FIND

IT'S BEEN COVERED IN THE EARTH

BEEN COVERED IN THE VINE

I KNOW THAT THE WAY IS THE REMEDY

YES THE HOLY GHOST GOT PLANS FOR ME



KEEP YOUR EYES TO THE SON

WE ARE SEEKERS EVERY ONE

AND THOUGH OUR TIME IS SURE TO END IN ELEGY

FEAR NO DEATH BY BEAST OF MAN

FOR THE SHORES OF THE PROMISED LAND

THOSE REPENTANT AND REDEEMED

ARE BOUND TO SEE



AND EVEN THOUGH MY BLESSINGS THEY MAY BE FEW

THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME GOOD WORKING LEFT TO DO

SO I WILL RAISE THE REVERIE

YES THE HOLY GHOST GOT PLANS FOR ME



KEEP YOUR EYES TO THE SUN

RAISE YOUR VOICES EVERY ONE

TILL THEY'RE RINGING OUT OVER EVERY CORNER

OF STONE AND SEA

FOR SOON THE CHARIOT WILL ROLL ON DOWN THE LANE

ANGELS ALL HOLLERING OUT THY NAME

TO PLEASE THE EAR OF HIM WITH RAISING VERITY



EVEN THOUGH MY BLESSINGS THEY MAY BE FEW

THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME GOOD WORKING LEFT TO DO

SO I WILL WAIT HERE REVERENTLY

CAUSE THE HOLY GHOST GOT PLANS FOR ME



I SAID THAT EVEN THOUGH MY BLESSINGS THEY MAY BE FEW

THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME GOOD WORKING LEFT TO DO

SO I WILL RAISE THE REVERIE

YES THE HOLY GHOST GOT PLANS FOR ME
