There's a song that I've wanted To sing for so long But the tune is just out of my grasp I may see for a moment When the lights reflects gold But so delicate, slips from my hand Every word that I sing Is a cheap imitation Of things that I don't understand Light reflecting on water The picture gets harder to see With the eyes of a man I hear "Come further up, Come further in The greatest story, none on earth have read" So I'll search for the melody Offering everything Till I am called out by name Cause the chord that was struck On the strings of my heart Is still echoing throughout my frame And when this long day ends And the morning begins And the Song that has found me I'll sing! Written over my bones In a carving on stone By a rose, let my epitaph read Come further up Come further in My greatest story Has yet to be read Marvel of Marvels Of all that He said I who am nothing He called beloved
