Waging War

It haunts me so This gloomy wait That comes and goes without a trace A thousand times I flesh embrace A thousand more, but here for grace To see the Lord, The Promise Land Where in those sins, pearly gates look bland What once was a pearl, now sand That blows away, that blows away in light of him When battle lines become unclear And the waging war is all I hear Lord, sustain me with your voice And the choice to walk in truth To see the Lord, The Promise Land Where in those sins, pearly gates look bland And what was once a pearl, now sand That blows away, that blows away in light of him That I might see this day This waging war Might go away and be no more That I may see his face, and hear him say Son welcome home, the war is over To see the Lord, The Promise Land Where in all sins, pearly gates look bland And what was once a pearl, now sand that blows away That blows away, that blows away in light of him Go away, Oh go away, go away in light of him Oh, blow away a waging war of sin
