歌曲歌詞
I was born in chains but I was taken out of Egypt
I was bound to a burden but the burden it was raised
Oh Lord I can no longer keep this secret
Blessed is the name the name be praised
I fled to the edge of a mighty sea of sorrow
Pursued by the armies of a cruel and dark regime
But the waters parted and my soul crossed over
Out of Egypt out of Pharaoh s dream
Word of words and the measure of all measures
Blessed is the name the name be blessed
Written on my heart in burning letters
That s all I know I do not know the rest
I was idled with my soul when I heard that you could use me
I followed very closely but my life remained the same
But then you showed me where you had been wounded
In every atom spoken is the name
I was lost on the road your love was so confusing
And all the teachers told me that I had myself to blame
But in the arms stands the illusion
The sweet unknowing unifies the name
Word of words and the measure of all measures
Blessed is the name the name be blessed
Written on my heart in burning letters
That s all I know I cannot read the rest
I heard the soul unfolds in the chambers of this longing
As the bitter liquor sweetens in the amber cup
Ah but all the ladders of the night have fallen
Just darkness now to lift the longing up
Word of words and measure of all measures
Blessed is the name the name be blessed
Written on my heart in burning letters
That s all I know I cannot read the rest
