Go Play In The Sun - Russ Taff

I was walking and praying for a glimpse of the Lord

Just to know He was walking with me

The past I’d confessed, I’d given my heart

But the memories won’t let me be

Then in my mind’s eye an image appeared

Of a tortured man nailed to a tree

His face hid by hair soaked with his blood

Lifted up and I saw it was me

You’ve been there, you’ve done that

So let yourself go, all is paid for and done

The phantoms that haunt you are under the blood

Go play like a child in the sun, go, child and play in the sun

The next thing I saw was a garden at dawn

The sun peeping over the hill

What looked like a woman, her face in her hands

Was weeping like hope had been killed

Then something demanded I look at the light

A voice said, «Come, trade in your fear»

For a brand new beginning like you were just born

Go dance for there is no death here
