Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) In the shadow of the Roman wall The chains are heavy, the night is tall A runaway in the velvet gloom Seeking mercy in a crowded room I once was lost, a thief in the night But I found a spark in the holy light Now I return to the house of old To the master’s hand, to the shepherd’s fold. (Verse 2) Philemon, brother, hear the plea Let the grace of the spirit set him free If he owes a debt, put it all on mine In the sacred cup of the holy wine The ink is black but the soul is white Washed in the fire of the candle-light A brotherhood born in the catacombs Finding our way to our heavenly homes. (Pre-Chorus) The parchment bleeds with the apostle’s ink We’re standing on the eternal brink No longer a servant, no longer a slave But a soul redeemed from the silent grave. (Chorus) Oh, receive him as you would receive me In the blood of the Lamb, we are finally free The debt is paid on the wooden tree Love is the lock and the golden key Beyond the darkness, beyond the pain In the heart of Christ, we are one again. (Bridge) The ledger is burned, the slate is wiped clean In the hollows of grace, we are heard and seen Not a bondman’s cry, but a brother’s call The walls of the temple begin to fall Forgiveness is the weight that breaks the night We walk as one in the pale moonlight. (Verse 3) The midnight bell begins to toll For the transformation of a lonely soul Onesimus, rising from the dust In the iron shield of a martyr’s trust The world is cold and the stone is grey But the dawn of the cross will lead the way From the shackles of earth to the sky above Bound by the chains of eternal love. (Chorus) Oh, receive him as you would receive me In the blood of the Lamb, we are finally free The debt is paid on the wooden tree Love is the lock and the golden key Beyond the darkness, beyond the pain In the heart of Christ, we are one again. (Chorus) Oh, receive him as you would receive me In the blood of the Lamb, we are finally free The debt is paid on the wooden tree Love is the lock and the golden key Beyond the darkness, beyond the pain In the heart of Christ, we are one again.
