“RISES LIKE A PHOENIX” Lyrics by Edith D Plettner©
Verse One
White wistful wanderings
Through souls’ grey shadowings
Sacrificed offerings
Shatterings, scatterings
Hearing a holy call
Resistant, persistent all
Hidden like Eden’s game
Ridden with guilt and shame
Verse Two
Drawn by unseen hand
Change unforeseen, unplanned
Fighting against the wake
Unwilling to bend or break
Pulling against the pull
Spirit holds firm and full
Helpless against the draw
Grasping like a tiger’s claw
Chorus One
RISES LIKE A PHOENIX new
Bearing all the glorious Truth
No more to fall away
Brought home at last to stay
Angels descend and bring
Healing on gossamer wing
Heavenly hosts rejoice
Raising loud exultant voice
Verse Three
Spirit holds strong and true
How to avoid, elude
Spirit woos final calls
Helpless, surrendered, falls
Penitent on his face
God grants His mercy, grace
Pain of his sinful past
Into sin’s sea is cast
Chorus Two
RISES LIKE A PHOENIX new
Bearing all the glorious Truth
No more to fall away
Brought home at last to stay
Angels descend and bring
Healing on gossamer wing
Heavenly hosts rejoice
Raising loud exultant voice
Chorus Three
RISES LIKE A PHOENIX new
Bearing all the glorious Truth
Sheltering arms enfold
Pilgrim, at last, come home
RISES LIKE A PHOENIX new
RISES LIKE A PHOENIX new
RISES LIKE A PHOENIX new
RISES LIKE A PHOENIX new
Congrats Dave on AOTM. I can't think of a finer person and musician more deserving.
Phil
Oh, yes. This is so nicely done, you four! Nicely written, and wonderfully delivered. I enjoyed every moment.
Thanks for the comments. Means a lot, especially to Deedee; her first "foot in the water" in Mixposure!
You guys did a wonderful job on this DeeDee, Dave C and Dave B. I'm proud to have a small association with it!
Thank-you, Doug. Deedee (EPlettner) told the story, Dave Brink sang the story, I made it flow, and Dave Deal made it shine!
