Lamp in the Window

[Verse 1] I wake where the creek bends under the pines With a borrowed breath and a borrowed time There’s a worn red Bible by the kitchen chair And a list of the names I promised to bear [Pre-Chorus] Lord, I have carried my little crown Teach my restless hands to lay it down [Chorus] Make my life a lamp in the window Make my heart a table wide Let my yes be more than a moment Let Your mercy shape my stride I don’t want a name that fades in the valley Or a faith I keep for Sunday songs I want to follow You, Jesus, fully With every road and breath I’m given, all along [Verse 2] When the mill bell rings through the morning fog I’ll meet my neighbor like a child of God If the harvest is thin, I will still give bread If the wounded come, I will make them a bed [Pre-Chorus] When I’m afraid of the cost to pay Hold my eyes on the narrow way [Chorus] Make my life a lamp in the window Make my heart a table wide Let my yes be more than a moment Let Your mercy shape my stride I don’t want a name that fades in the valley Or a faith I keep for Sunday songs I want to follow You, Jesus, fully With every road and breath I’m given, all along [Bridge] Take the gold from my pockets Take the pride from my tongue Take the years I have wasted And redeem what I’ve done Where the mountain turns purple And the evening settles blue Let the whole of my living Be a thank-you to You [Final Chorus] Make my life a lamp in the window Make my heart a table wide Let my yes be more than a moment Let Your mercy shape my stride I don’t want a name that fades in the valley I want Your name written over mine I will follow You, Jesus, fully Till the last hill opens into morning light [Outro] Till the last hill opens into morning light All I have, Lord, is Yours tonight
