The Lion Came Down

I fixed my eyes on that ridge for twenty-one years
Faithfully waiting for Christ to appear
Not in my wildest would He come like this
As I sat tipping back all alone in the mist of the fountain


PRE
Heard a word in the distance,
I turned head uplifted, could this
be the long expected?


CHORUS
The lion came down off that mountain
And met me face to face
Life and death were in his eyes
I saw the moment I might die
Woman, this is not a dream
Remember everything you’ve seen


He flicked his musky tail and circled three times
In stillness and awe, I would come thru alive
On his breath was a blessing to bolden my days:
“Of what mortal man could you now be afraid?”
CHORUS


BRIDGE TO THE END (grand cry to the heaven)


Oh, come thou long expected one
Oh, come thou long expected one
Come down, come down (intimate conclusion)
…….Come
