Gospel Shore

lyrics

who's that walking on the gospel shore?
who's that walking on the gospel shore?
who's that walking on the gospel shore?

beneath a lamp His head did bow
beneath a lamp, saw His head go bow
beneath a lamp His head did bow

alone, alone, all alone was He
alone, alone, all alone was He
alone, alone, all alone was He
a restless soul in agony

Chorus
I come from Abyssinia
gonna walk to Galilee
I seek to lose these shackles
I seek to set men free
gonna march right with my brothers
gonna stand beside the sea
when the pharaoh comes to cut us
he'll drown in our victory

the blind live on but they do not see
the deaf live on but they do not hear
the mute live on tho' they do not speak
and we march on and we do not fear

they come as one they come in threes
they come as one they come in peace
they come as one they march with me

2nd chorus
from a chasm so hard slanted deep within my soul
a savage place abandoned
a rock which never rolls
a king's shadow once demanded
its right to block the sun
a thousand campfires burn alike
their light becomes our one!

the wind blew high, the sun dipped low
the wind blew high, the sun dipped low
the wind blew high, the sun dipped low
and still He walked but He's walking slow

ash and sand along the gospel shore
the weight of the world
now for evermore
ash and sand along the gospel shore
if Heaven awaits, what are we livin' for?
if Heaven awaits, what are we livin' for?

Chorus
I come from Abyssinia
gonna walk to Galilee
I seek to lose these shackles
I seek to set men free
gonna march right with my brothers
gonna stand beside the sea
when the pharaoh comes to cut us
he'll drown in our victory
