Psalters – Train de vie: https://psalters.bandcamp.com/track/train-de-vie
father abraham was called out to move.
covenant made, there was blood in the groove.
story began spanning ages through,
when the word came, story became true.
Lord your people sojourners all Train de Vie!
One more echo ‘n th’ eternal song ‘f our hope & our love Train de Vie!
Empires gripping, diesel slipping, thru it’s fingers Train de Vie!
Underground weeds grow up through the cracks ‘n th’ concrete TRAIN DE VIE! [4x]
scattered church all parts of earth roaming
not conforming to this age or it’s kings
they pass away but on we sing
pilgrim songs of hope incarnating
locomotion, weak foundation, foolish notion – train de vie!
the fool is saying better things it’s insane wisdom – train de vie!
rouse us, spur us, incite exodus, Lord ignite the – train de vie!
via maris, via terra, via highway – train de vie!
not just a movement, we were meant to move
it’s our blood and our life, we’re called out too
in the midst of death camp stories share life
but the pages must wake, now is the time
rouse us, spur us, incite exodus, Lord ignite the – train de vie!
via marris, via terra, via highway, train de vie!
Pillar of Fire and Cloud – train de vie!
tear our weak foundations down – train de vie!
All Who Are Weary: https://psalters.bandcamp.com/track/all-who-are-weary
The crowd has gone away
Families went home to stay
The good christians gave their last prayers
As old friends offered one last solemn stare
We walk the dirt and stone
It is the land of a refugee alone
Forgotten men on long forgotten roads
So far to go so few to share the load
Everyone has come and gone
But the road is still a thousand miles long
And the worst for most is my very best
“come to Me all you weary and I will give you rest”
The patrons left the carnival
The sight seers seen their last sights
The mourners all cried and went
And the new dawn has given way tonight
Everyone has come and gone
But the road is still a thousand miles long
And the worst for most is my very best
Come to Me all you weary,
And I will give you rest.
One more step, one more step,
To my love, to my rest. rest.
