Dead Horse Lyrics by Andy Squyres

Poet Priest

2021

[Verse 1]
Here is my harvest of heartbreak
Here is my threshing of tears
I'd give you my dream, but I lost it
Down in the locust years
[Chorus 1]
Still praise is the song that I'm singing
Even though sorrow's my tune
Oh, my love is only a whisper now
But nothing is wasted with You
[Verse 2]
Here is my secret miscarriage
Here is my public divorce
Nobody taught me to let go
So I learned how to beat a dead horse
[Chorus 2]
Now all of my altars are empty
Except for this lone hallelu–
The heat of Your fire’s just a memory
But nothing is wasted with You
[Bridge]
Hungry as a mother who cannot find her child
We keep missing each other, I’m in the liquor aisle
Prostrated in Your glory, I'm bowed low under this
Either nothing is wasted or everything is
Everything is
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Here in the Holy of Holies
Here by the blood of the Lamb
These words I have said all my life and believe
But still I do not understand
[Chorus 3]
Lord, I want to live in Your presence
However inopportune
The heat of Your fire’s just a memory now
But nothing is wasted with You
Oh, my love is only a whisper now
But nothing is wasted with You
