Born In Zion

(time)
they are shackled to the past
and hold long forgotten views
you wear the future like a robe
the dust from there clings to your shoes
and so advance up to the last
for we are not bound to the past

chorus:
this one was born in Zion
they're saying that of you
and saying that of me
we're in the city
the city of God

(space)
they imagine we belong
in creation's tired remains
whereas your eyes see off the globe
you seem at once in two domains
dismay the world with a new song
for this is not where we belong

chorus

(grace)
all my fountains are in you
the Lord himself will establish her
and record us in the register
oh the city of God
I aspire to sing it too
all my fountains are in you

chorus
