The Harlot Lyrics - Measure Of Love - Misty Edwards & David Brymer

I'm broken 

I'm wounded 

I'm wretched and ashamed 

And the harlot is like a chain around my neck, it's my name 

She sings the song of humanity , the song of you the song ofme 

(they drag her through the city square 

Dragging her by her hair 

She's kicking screaming and fighting) 

(they drag her through the city square 

Dragging her by her hair 

She's kicking screaming and fighting) 

I'm broken I'm wounded 

I'm angry and afraid 

And the harlot is like a chain around my neck 

It's my name X2 

She's faced down 

This tangled hair 

Every where as she's crying in the dust 

As the dust turns to mudd on her face 

This tangled hair 

Every where as she's crying in the dust 

Face down 

Open up o open up o ground beneath me 

How long does it take to stone one harlot down 

I know the laws well as they do and I'm guilty, guilty 

An adulterer, and I know I know O will this day never end 

How long does it take to stone one harlot 

I'm broken 

I'm wounded 

I'm wretched and ashamed 

And the harlot is like a chain around my neck, it's my name 

(as a congregation of the righteous gather round 

They are ready to stone her down) 

(as a congregation of the righteous gather round 

They are ready to stone her down) 

And someone from that frenzy marche 

Shouts out let's take her to the teacher 

Let's test him and see what he will say in an eruption of agreement 

As they are taking her by her hair 

They drag her through the city square 

They are dragging her by her hair 

She gave up the fight like a ? 

They drag her through the city square 

Dragging her by her hair 

She's faced down 

I'm broken I'm wounded 

I'm angry and afraid 

And the harlot, is like a chain around my neck, it's my name 

It's who I am, 

Open up o open up o ground beneath me, it wasn't supposed to 

End this way 

But I am guilty and I know it 

I've got so many plans so much to do 

But now it's too late 

Guilty and I know it 

Face down 

What's he doing 

As a congregation of the righteous gather round 

They are ready to stone her down 

They throw her at the feet of a teacher 

Dare I look up ? 

Surely they have brought me here to mock me 

This tangled hair 

Every where as she's crying in the dust 

As the dust turns to mudd on her face 

This tangled hair everywhere she's faced down in the dust in 

The mudd 

And there is a hush, and a congregation 

What's he doing- 

Time stands still 

As the court of heaven was seated 

There is a great throne of judgement 

And there is the harlot and she is me 

Face down 

Looking through the tangled hair and the mudd in my eyes 

The ? I raise my gaze only to realize 

I am surrounded by beauty that will never be mine 

As regret like a wave came crushing over me 

If I had only known that such beauty was available 

If I had only known but now it's too late 

And the accuser of the brethren was pacing back and forth and back and forth and to and through 

As he spilt out his words he was going back and forth and back and forth 

He was listing off my sins one by one 

And the thing was he was telling the truth 

Guilty guilty guilty guilty 

And the great count of witnesses and the angels o the angels 

Looked on the scene 

As the accuser of the brethren was going back and forth 

Glee in his eye guilty guilty guilty guilty 

And resound to the corridor of eternity in time like a thunder in my soul 

He was right I was guilty guilty to eternal damnation for my soul 

And there was nothing I could nothing I could do 

Face down, face down, couldn't even open my eyes, the regret was so strong 

There's a hand on my shoulder, a hand on my shoulder 

And I hear a voice, like music in my ear 

Dare I look up ? , I couldn't lift my eyes but all I saw 

That beautiful feet, and I heared that voice like music, music to my soul 

He said , Father I desire that she will be with me where I am, show her my glory 

Father I desire this one, this one she is mine, she is mine , she is mine 

He was praying for my soul , he was pleading for my behalf 

He was praying for me, I couldn't comprehend it, I couldn't understand what was going on 

Father I desire that everything that's mine would be hers and everything that's hers would be 

Mine 

Father Father I desire this one, this one, she's mine she's mine she's mine 

And all the heaven gasp in belief 

And I opened up my eyes 

And I watched in wonder 

This beautiful one stood to his feet 

I looked up and there was a great trone and there was the father 

And he had a cup of wrath with my name on it 

It had my name on it 

And I was just about to rise to drink 

Guilty guilty guilty 

But I watched in unbelief this beautiful one, he walked on to his father 

And drank of the cup 

And before I knew what was going on he drank of the cup 

He drank of the cup 

He drank of the cup of the father's wrath 

He drank of the cup of the marriage wine 

He drank of the cup with my name on it 

He drank of the cup and all the blood.. 

I jumped to my feet and I ran over to him and it was too late 

I tried to stop him but I didn't know it was too late 

And all the blood all the blood , and all the blood 

It should have been me, and I was weeping and weeping and I ran over forgetting where I was 

And I fell down face, down down and o pleased Father crush him 

But it was too late , I began to plead it should have been me , it should have been me 

But it was too late, why did he do it but it was too late 

And all the blood, and all the blood, and all the blood, and all the blood 

I was weeping weeping and crying it should have been me, it should have been me 

Face down, why did he do it? face down, why did he do it? 

It should have been me 

Was weeping and weeping, why did he gave his life, all the blood 

Was weeping and weeping 

And I heard a whisper like music 

"what's yours is mine and what's mine is yours" 

I looked to the left, I looked to the right, and I was on a sea of glace like crystal 

There was a great great congregation dressed in white 

From every tounge, from every tribe, from every people 

And the music began and a celebration erupted 

And I opened up my eyes, and there was the lamb, although he was slain 

And I was at a wedding and I couldn't believe my eyes 

And I was dressed in garments, garments of beauty 

And the music erupted and the angels sing halleluja halleluja the chore has broke out 

And I looked out and saw the lamb with eyes like fire radiating radiating with desire 

And he said what's yours is mine and what's mine is yours 

Arise and sit on the throne, prepare for your beauty, rise beauty rise, beauty rise 

And we say with one heart and one voice, worthy is the lamb of God 

Who takes away the sins of the world 

Oh worthy is the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world 

Worthy is the lamb of God yeah, who takes away the sins of the world X2 

We will marry the lamb, halleluja, we will marry the lamb forever amen 

And worthy is the lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world 

Worthy is the lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world 

Halleluja halleluja , 

There's going to be a wedding, 

There's going to be a wedding ,thre's going to be a wedding yeah 

People get ready 

What's yours is mine and what's mine is yours 

Who can comprehend where this is going 

He said beauty arise, arise, aris
