The Crossing - Standing Stones

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “This song was written to exhort and encourage Christians. We are the living stones with which Christ has built His Church (1 Peter 2:5). The pipe tune we play at the end of the song is a jig that comes from Ireland. It’s one I’ve wanted to use for a long time called “The Fermoy Lasses.” lyrics Out on the lonely moor or high upon the hillside Standing stones are pointing to the sky Granite-hard and weathered, left to tell a story You can see them standing so high Old ones tell the tales while the young sit back in wonder At the mysteries unfolding in the songs Of heroes and their trials, of our God’s awesome glory Now they are the ones to carry on Far across the ruins of time, all down through the ages You can hear the ancient voices faintly cry Now you are the stones, you are the stories Tell the people, Lift your voices, Raise them high We must stand upon the plains and in the highest places And the valleys where all choices must be made We will rise up o’er the green, also the bleak and barren wastes To show the springs where the grace of God has reigned We’re reminders of His love, the lessons of the battle And a witness to the shedding of His blood Now we’re standing straight and tall, unmoved by wind or weather Living stones are now the dwelling of our God from Standing Stones, released May 24, 2002 Lyrics: Tony Krogh Music: Tony Krogh / trad.
