Banishment Lyrics by FAI STUDIOS

Ballads of the Revelation

2020

O Thou, by long experience tried
Near whom no grief can long abide
My love! how full of sweet content
I pass my years of banishment!
To me remains nor place nor time;
My country is in every clime;
I can be calm and free from care
On any shore, since God is there
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my soul
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my love
Could I be cast where thou art not
That werе indeed a dreadful thought;
But regions none rеmote I call
Secure of finding God in all
My country, Lord, art Thou alone;
Nor other can I claim or own;
The place where all my yearnings meet;
My law, my love, my joy so sweet
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my soul
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my love
I cling to nothing here below;
Appoint my journey and I go;
Though pierced by scorn, oppressed by pride
Even now, always at my side
No violence done can hurtful prove
To souls on fire with heavenly love;
Though men and devils both condemn
My fate does not belong to them
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my soul
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my love
In everlasting love I rest
As when I laid upon His chest
All this pain is light and fleeting
If only I can hear His heart beating
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my soul
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my love
