The Beggar Lyrics by Jonny Hayes

I Remember Where Light Goes

2023

[Verse 1]
I was a sun inside of Your mind
While I was the orphan
Inside of mine
I was a priest and right by Your love
While I was a beggar
A stray on the run
[Chorus]
But You, You chased my body
Emptied Yourself
Gave me the keys, entrusting Yourself
The only doorway into Your heart
Is on my knees, the One I'm singing about
Hold me in Heaven, hold me in love
Yours is the voice that I've been dreaming of
Hold me in Heaven, hold me in love
Yours is the voice that I've been dreaming of
[Verse 2]
I had a room inside of Your house
While I was out walking
My neighborhood doubts
I knew my need and turned to the cold
While You were out walking
My neighborhood roads
[Chorus]
And You, You chased my body
Emptied Yourself
Gave me the keys, entrusting Yourself
Now through Your hallway, into Your house
The fire bleeds, the colors all around
Hold me in Heaven, hold me in love
Yours is the voice that I'm dreaming of
Hold me in Heaven, hold me in love
Yours is the voice that I've been dreaming of
Hold me in Heaven, hold me in love
Yours is the voice that I've been dreaming of
Hold me in Heaven, hold me in love
Yours is the voice that I've been dreaming of
I've been dreaming of
