Until We See the Cross

I don’t know if I’ve said this before, but if Jimmy Webb wrote this sort of music he would be Geoff Bullock.  I love this song.  No 140 in AOV NG is “Until We See the Cross.”  You can here it, along with lots of other Geoff Bullock songs here.

As for my backing it has none of Bullock’s inventiveness in the piano, but it is machine generated after all, and surprisingly natural.

Verse 1

Before we sing again,
before we dance again,
Let our souls be still and silent.
Let’s just stop a while,
to pause and pray awhile,
To look and hear again,
Let our songs be still till then.

Verse 2

Let our dreams be more
than building towers that fall.
All our works his cross has silenced.
And as our hearts are healed,
let our songs reveal
His grace so undeserved,
These songs can now be heard.

Chorus

Until we see the cross,
until we feel the pain
Until we see the scars
that pierced grace to our shame.
Until we see again,
let our songs be still
‘till then.

Verse 3

When we see his face,
through our broken faith:
Mercy triumphs over judgement.
Wounded hands reveal,
only love can heal
The brokeness we share,
Only wounded hearts can care.

Chorus
