Jeremy Casella - The City Of The Lord Lyrics

Jeremy Casella – The City Of The Lord Lyrics

The song that shakes the solid ground
Should come as no surprise
Every secret on the table laid bare
No place to hide
Heaven knows and names the sound
That draws me from my grave
You’ll know the weight of glory
When it whispers you awake

And you’re always waiting
Always waiting, for how long?
Always waiting, for how long?
Always waiting here

Your body lying on the ground
Still I hold you in my arms
I’m with you when you’re weeping
And I hold you through the dawn
Come on now love I made a promise
Let me show you what it’s all about
When you love someone
Just hold on a little longer
Let me help you with your wedding gown
We’ll go slow dancing through the wreckage

Slow dancing now, slow

There’s a name that hold us both together
The diamond ring, the vow, the ties that bind

And there’s a place we’re bound to be forever
A city squared as long as it is wide

Heaven knows and names
(Heaven knows and names)

How many lovers has your heart been chasing?
Who never left you at the altar waiting?
I know it hurts too much to talk about it
You’d rather stuff it down than scream or shout it

You could be lost and never know it
But you’re mine and I’m bound to show it
Gave you my Word and you’ll know the sound
Oh at the last when I bring it on down
Bring it on down oh in it’s time
I’m gonna bring it on down

Slow dancing…

How many lovers has your heart been chasing?
Who never left you at the altar waiting?
I know it hurts too much to talk about it
You’d rather stuff it down than scream or shout it
You could be lost and never know it
Until the last I bring it on down
The City of God
The City of the Lord

Come on now love I made a promise
Let me show you what it’s all about
When you love someone
Just hold on a little longer
Let me help you with your wedding gown
Slow dancing through the wreckage

The song that shakes the solid ground
Should come as no surprise
Every secret on the table laid bare
No place to hide
Heaven knows and names the sound
That draws me from my grave
You’ll know the weight of glory
When it whispers you awake

And you’re always waiting
Always waiting, for how long?
Always waiting, for how long?
Always waiting here

Your body lying on the ground
Still I hold you in my arms
I’m with you when you’re weeping
And I hold you through the dawn
Come on now love I made a promise
Let me show you what it’s all about
When you love someone
Just hold on a little longer
Let me help you with your wedding gown
We’ll go slow dancing through the wreckage

Slow dancing now, slow

There’s a name that hold us both together
The diamond ring, the vow, the ties that bind

And there’s a place we’re bound to be forever
A city squared as long as it is wide

Heaven knows and names
(Heaven knows and names)

How many lovers has your heart been chasing?
Who never left you at the altar waiting?
I know it hurts too much to talk about it
You’d rather stuff it down than scream or shout it

You could be lost and never know it
But you’re mine and I’m bound to show it
Gave you my Word and you’ll know the sound
Oh at the last when I bring it on down
Bring it on down oh in it’s time
I’m gonna bring it on down

Slow dancing…

How many lovers has your heart been chasing?
Who never left you at the altar waiting?
I know it hurts too much to talk about it
You’d rather stuff it down than scream or shout it
You could be lost and never know it
Until the last I bring it on down
The City of God
The City of the Lord

Come on now love I made a promise
Let me show you what it’s all about
When you love someone
Just hold on a little longer
Let me help you with your wedding gown
Slow dancing through the wreckage
