And A God Descended Lyrics - Singles - Dar Williams

Step through his trampled wall, the unhinged door betrays it all 

That far within our faith we were all waiting 

The broken glass reflects the haze, it shines like endless holy days 

Struggling to remember what they're celebrating 

Well a God descended, and the real time ended 

His light was lifted just above the law, and now we have to live 

With what we did, with what we saw 

Well you mend your clothes and patch your roof and slivers of God's 

Shattered truth grow tender as the grass in clean swept yards 

But a Savior came and told us how the truth was all around us now 

Abandon house and field and gather up the stards 

Well a God descended, and the real time ended 

His light was lifted just above the law, and now we have to live 

With what we did with what we saw 

You build your faith with strength and duty 

Build your love, but there's a beauty 

Well you know the scriptures tell, there are a few shards left in hell 

And if we wanted God we had to follow, follow him down, him down 

There were pictures torn out of their frames and orgies 

Where we lost our names, ending all with time's real desire 

Well you ask how God can curse you thus 

That's not a question asked by us 

We burnt our books and beds, we fear we've lost the fire 

And a God descended and the real time ended 

His light was lifted just above the law, and now we have to live 

With what I did with what we saw
