I gave myself to hate as it passed by I followed it to shadow, it left me there to die I could find no reason left for life But in the worst of all my sadness, suddenly a light Love brought me water and food for life Gave me shelter from the cold, and warmth throughout the night He spoke of the mountain He had climbed And of the table He's prepared, where Kings and Thieves will dine And all at once I'm a brother and a friend With a place to lay my head, where all the hurt will end Where Kings and Queens eat with sinners and thieves And somewhere in the midst of it there's a place for me You sit at the table and You raise your glass high You say Drink with me brother, in the light of new life And side by side we began to walk He carried me through places I never thought to cross And for every word of hate left on my tongue He took the sting I earned and gave me brand new songs And all the wounds I've carried and I gave Are turned to fountains, bleeding beauty and grace For Kings and Queens eat with sinners and thieves And somewhere in the midst of it there's a place for me You sit at the table and You raise your glass high You say Drink with me brother, in the light of new life And everything I ever was Is raged against by redeeming blood Will I ever know the end of your lover I thought I knew, but you're so much kinder Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord
