Lay Me Down

Take me now,
 See my love's grown old
 Break me down
 See my blood runs cold
 Forward now, be mercy's bride
 With your mother's heart and your father's eyes
 Pluck me from the dirt along your way
 Home, take me home,
 Take me home with you
 Collect all our pictures
 Collect all our pictures
 Put them on your wall
 You are the shepherd's call
 The ocean's rise and its fall
 Home, take me home
 Take me home
 Take me home with you
 Collect all our pictures
 Put them in your scriptures
 Reach down from the heavens
 Just take me from here
 Do now as your teacher taught
 Lead me away from word and thought
 Leave me with a feeling that you're near.
 Drawn in by that old prelude;
 You moved me and I moved in you
 And the breeze carried our breath into the night
