Love With a Crown

I saw a river of people
That sprung from an ancient spring
From the heart of a walled-in garden
That flowed from a raging stream
I saw a river of gladness
From the heart of God's delight
Into a sea of faces
Yeah faces like stars in the night

Jesus, Jesus
Save me from the tyranny of the familiar
Jesus, Jesus
Show me the face of God in every human creature
Jesus

I saw Love, Love with a crown and I
I saw Love, Love with a crown and I
I saw Love, Love with a crown and I
I saw Love, Love with a crown and I

I saw the wolves like shepherds
I saw the lion lay down
By the sheep in the wide-open pasture
Yeah, I saw love with a crown
Oh how the mighty surrendered
And turned their swords to plows
We used our guns for hammers
And I saw love with a crown

Jesus, Jesus
Save me from the tyranny of the familiar
Jesus, Jesus
Show me the face of God in every human creature
Jesus

I heard my name in the darkness
I heard my song in the night
I staggered to the door in a fumbling fury
But there was not a soul in sight
So I stormed the doors of the temple
So I could lay down my case
The master was not present, no
The stone had rolled away
So I looked away from the doorkeeper
And as I turned my head
She asked me: Why do you look for the living, son
Here among the dead?
Jesus

I saw Love, Love with a crown and I
I saw Love, Love with a crown and I
I saw Love, Love with a crown and I
I saw Love, Love with a crown and I
I saw Love, Love with a crown and I
I saw Love, Love with a crown and I
I saw a river of people
That sprung from an ancient spring
I saw Love, Love with a crown and I
From the heart of a walled-in garden
That flowed from a raging stream
I saw Love, Love with a crown and I
