As The Waters Cover the Sea Lyrics by So Long Forgotten

Things We Can See And Things We Cannot

2009

It springs forth, like sap from the maple tree
Like atonement cascades blood red down the bark to the rushing stream
And I was so young when I first saw the fruit of the canopy
The orchard I’ve planted, I pray it grows mercy and peace
Your banner over me is love
Like a flood, let it wash over us!
When we get there, strip me (strip me), strip the trees bare
Adorn us with the garments (garments) we were madе to wear
It’s obvious we’ve nеver belonged here
We’ve always existed some place between
Where the ground meets the air
Your banner over me is love, Your banner is love
Your banner over me is love
Like a flood, let it wash over us, over us
And a river runs in the desert, but I never felt its presence
A tree stood tall in the desert, but I only saw its surface
And a river runs in the desert, and I will live within its presence
And that tree stands tall in the desert, and I hope to God I see the fruits of harvest
And a river flows in the desert, but I never felt its presence
And a tree stood tall in the desert, but I only saw its surface
The future bursts into the present
I feel the ground and its marriage to heaven
Ohhhhh (12x)
Your banner over me, Your banner over us
Let it wash over us, Your banner is love!
Your banner over me, Your banner over us
Your banner is love! Your banner is love!
