VPH 300 Farewell

Arriving in the morning after
I fill up my moon and capture
All the want inside my heart
And all the need my hands can parse
I’m here and I’m not sorry to be
Part of the body of the bride

Father guide my winding river
Sever my desiring fingers
Free me of the burden of myself 
I don’t open up to you 
In stealth
I’m part of the body of the bride

The body of the bride 
The body of the bride
I am walking down the long dark hall
my savior’s face illuminates the fall

Mother I’m a sick and screeching
Worm and all my paths are breaching
Pour you love upon me
I will kiss three faces as my knees
Commune with the earth
And I am rippling through 
the body of the bride

My sister is no longer near me
My brother’s grown to fear me
I can’t turn away from what I hate
Or sate my hissing tongue
I fumble for your body as I’m
Part of the body of the bride

Do with me as you will
Do with me as you will
Do with me as you will


Procession (The Body of the Bride) - Live

VPH 300 Farewell (small group)

Not from the dust affliction grows,
Nor troubles rise by chance;
Yet we are born to care and woes
A sad inheritance!

As sparks break out from burning coals,
And still are upward borne;
So grief is rooted in our souls,
And man grows up to mourn.

Yet with my God I leave my cause,
And trust His promised grace;
He rules me by His well known laws
Of love and righteousness.

Not all the pains that e’er I bore,
Shall spoil my future peace;
For death and hell can do no more
Than what the Father please.
