lyrics

Kinsman Redeemer by Ezra Vancil

In the days of the common
when the lions did sleep
i went out walking
seeking my sanity
and the sun in the heavens
rose raspberry red
wrestling with decisions
anguish unsaid

like the son of David
always asking what more
when vanities of vanities
is all he had in store
or the Jacob and Esau
bidding who would be first
at the breast of their mother
an unquenchable thirst

oh kinsman redeemer
where do we sleep
when you win with the barely
i will undress your feet
and there will i lay down
the night shall i stay
at the foot of your mercy
in the hands of your grace
for the bread i have thrown down
and the wine i have cursed
for I am but an appetite
an unquenchable thirst
