Dweller by a Dark Stream

Bruce Cockburn
Dweller by a Dark Stream

It could have been me who put the thorns on your crown.
Rooted as I am to violent ground.
How many times have I turned your promise down.
Until you poured out your love, you poured out your love

I was a dweller by a dark stream

I crying heart hooked on a dark dream.

In my convicts soul I saw your love win

and you showed me what youve done

Jesus, Thank You, Joyous Son

You offered up a life like yours to give us back our own

You wanted us like you as choosers, not clones

You offered up your life and death was over thrown

Now salvation is ours.

Salvation is ours
