Glow, Ember, Glow

Quite a way out

From where he laid down his life

And his friends lost their disbelief,

I didn’t gain the nerve

To dance to the music.

The melody sometimes

Is like a wave washing

Through green leaf trees

And a cup of tea that leaves

A little sweat on your brow

And a little freedom in your limbs.

You move and you move

And the movement is everything.

You sing and you dance

And the movement is everything.

You gather your friends and your family

And march down the street

With a guitar and a drum

Singing to the beat

Of a song that is like fire

With long-lasting embers

For a body full of life

And sweet hymns in its members.

Sing true, dance free,

Breath of life be in you.

Sweet Savior of mine I know,

May my stillness discontinue.

For then we rise in freedom.

For then we sail the seas.

Then we raise our voices.

And now come dance with me.
