Intro

from New World Hymnal by rhyb

/

lyrics

Placed here, far from home
And through the glass of a golden room
I pray mercy on a sleeping city

Most nights I can't find the words
Like drawing blood from a stone
But I'll toil to make them known

Oftentimes thoughts evaporate
As I'm staring at a blank screen
And I try in vain to tell my faith

To write the new world hymnal
A new anthem for the age
Redemption for our people

We know nothing of ourselves
We can't see past the city lights
'til those brief nights of clear

It's not my monument
In the moments that built it
It's You who speaks on that empty page

To write the new world hymnal
A new anthem for the age
Redemption for Your people

To build the new world Cathedral
The global wonder of our time
The meaning of our lives
