Attalus — A Country Road in Two Seasons lyrics

Lyrics

I pass the whelming flood
That pours into this restless town
Through the blinding fog
That fills the air from sky to ground
Beneath a midnight sky
That casts a shadow on these hills
Hope — the only spark
That burns from deep within me still
Winter has come; winter has come
Darkness is forcing its way through
But I’m not overrun; I’m not overrun
'Cause I’m running into You
As I make my way through this God-forsaking land
Watching devils laugh and drunkards clap their hands
Chilling winds pull me in and ask me for a dance
But I run on past
Up the road as crooked as the devil’s smile
Past the open fields where dogs and wolves run wild
And I tell myself, «In just another mile
I’ll be safe at last»
Ooh!
I pass the gentle stream
That whispers underneath my feet
Through the silver dew
That glimmers on both grass and leaves
Beneath a midnight sky
That sets the world alight with stars
Peace — the brightest one
Sends its warmth into my heart
Autumn has come; autumn has come
Sunlight is forcing its way through
And I am undone! I am undone!
'Cause You’re coming into view
As I make my way through this God-beloved land
Watching angels laugh and children clap their hands
Gentle winds pull me in and ask me for a dance
And we dance our last! We keep dancing!
Up the road as blessed as the devil’s frown
Past the open fields where lions and lambs lie down
And I tell myself, «This is my final round
And I’m not coming back»
The seasons have come; the seasons have gone
They’ve given this road a different hue
The winter and fall; I’ve walked through them all
But this road keeps leading me to You
The seasons have come; the seasons have gone
They’ve given this road a different hue
The winter and fall; I’ve walked through them all
But this road keeps leading me to You
God is my shepherd, He draws me close to His side
He waters my soul in rivers I thought had all dried
Yea, though I walk through valleys where my faith loses sight
I will not fear for You are here, even in the night
