Prayer for Persia (Lift Up Your Head)

from soundings by Dale Harris

/

lyrics

Brown land, like a cracked and calloused hand, dry land
Flesh of stone and bone of sand
Lift up your head

Long night, like the ash of phoenix flight, dark night
Red the dawn the longing light
Lift up your head

Lift up your head and see,
The lamb was slain to set you free
The phoenix flame will rise again
And perch upon the holy tree
Lift up your head behold
The child you welcomed once of old
With myrrh and frankincense and gold
Is now the resurrected Lord
He comes to heal your land, lift up your head

Ancient place, like a cracked and noble face, antique place
Mist of myrrh and tear of grace
Lift up your head

Night skies, like the gleam of veiled eyes, eastern skies
See afar his star arise,
Lift up your head

Lift up your head and see,
The lamb was slain to set you free
The phoenix flame will rise again
And perch upon the holy tree
Lift up your head behold
The child you welcomed once of old
With myrrh and frankincense and gold
Is now the resurrected Lord
He comes to heal your land, lift up your head
