lyrics

We crossed the great expanse away from tyranny
But what have we become, what have we made
We only wanted righteousness and purity
But the more we were right, the less love we gave

We could've bought, we could've traded in their land
But you take what you want as you step onto the sand
And I know I’m a preacher but sometimes I think I don’t know the truth
How could I when my words fall on bloody hands

Oh, how have stumbled from Grace
I see how I was wrong, and I brought you all along
Oh, how You have shown me my own face
So listen close my friends, listen to my song

And so I spoke my words that love must temper truth
How can we all learn if first we don’t belong
So open up your doors and let them see there’s room
We’ll question what we’ve heard and sing a truer song

But I guess my point was proved and all my friends were gone
And the government we made said that I was wrong
Now that I’ve run away my true friends are here
They take my family in and sing a loving song

Oh, how I have stumbled into Grace
I know what I believe, but Love takes it all
Oh, how You have shown me Your face
I sowed the seeds of Love, now I see the call

Providence, I have seen Your face,
Mighty One, I will spread Your Grace

Providence we see you, mighty is your Hand
Providence we seek you, mighty in the land
