They told me I would never leave But something in me refused to stay The doors were made of gold But led to nowhere Nowhere I wanted to remain Then I saw it Luxury was a dungeon Dark, cold, silent And in the depths of hopelessness I found strength to cry out That's when I heard, far off A Voice slicing through the dark It didn't just shine It warmed And I followed it On a road long forgotten, in the heat of the flame My soul was aching with thirst, no one but me to blame Up ahead in the stillness, I saw a gentle light It shimmered pure in the shadows, pierced the cover of night I heard a voice in the silence, soft like morning rain It called me out of my pride, out of my inner chain Then I stood at a gateway, wide but finely drawn And I felt the weight of the ages just suddenly be gone Welcome to the House of the Divine Redeemer Such a holy place such a healing force Bathed in endless hope Living in the Light of the Divine Redeemer Where the fire refines where the truth aligns Sacred hearts and minds There I met the Master, His eyes so deep and wide He saw each wound in my spirit, not one I tried to hide He said: You've wandered heavy, through deserts of your will But the Love that formed the Cosmos is seeking you still Voices rose like a river, the wind began to sing Of the mercy in obedience, and the peace it brings Every wall fell around me, every mask undone As the justice kissed the mercy, and the many became one Welcome to the House of the Divine Redeemer Where the humble kneel and begin to heal By the flame that's real Walking in the Light of the Divine Redeemer Truth that calls you home never stands alone When the heart has grown Some seek power, others seek gold But I chose the silence where the Voice is bold And still I'm climbing, still being made Through the hills of forgiveness, into brighter days The Master whispered: Now the path is thine Keep thy lamp full of oil, let thy steps align Welcome to the House of the Divine Redeemer Where the light is clear and the soul draws near To the One so dear Underneath the wings of the Divine Redeemer Love opened the way to the truth that we must face
