Our Power

Intro

mm-mm, ooh — (ahh)

soft pads, breathe in — breathe out

ahh, ahh

Verse

I am a brother in the trial, steady at the side

companion through the reign, companion of the wait

sent away for carrying the Word, for keeping witness alive

on an isle that held its silence, I stood within the Spirit

when the holy day unfolded, when the unseen began to speak

Chorus

I turned, I turned to see the voice that called (I turned)

and in the middle of gold-flame light, our Power was standing

present in the center, guardian of the flame (ooh)

our Power was standing, at the heart of lamps held high

our Power was standing, at the heart of lamps held high (ah)

Verse

Behind me came a trumpet-clear command, strong as morning air

it said, I am the Beginning and the End — write what you see (write it)

give it to the gatherings, let the light flow from town to town

robe to the feet, a sash of gold across the chest

head like winter brilliance, eyes like living fire

feet like heated bronze, voice like many waters—(mm)

all of Him carried weight, an authority without question

Bridge

From His mouth a keen-edged word, a blade that sorts the dark

His face lit every place, every secret laid in sight

when I saw Him I went down, breath taken, faint and small

but His hand found me, pulled me close, and He said — (soft)

“Do not tremble, do not fall

I am the Beginning, I am the End” (I am)

Verse

I lay as one who’s dead, but Life kept speaking still

our Power walks through death, and He keeps the keys (He keeps the keys)

what was, what is, what comes next — all of it must be written down

nothing hidden, nothing lost, every truth brought into light (bring it)

Chorus

I turned, I turned to see the voice that called (I turned)

and in the middle of gold-flame light, our Power was standing

present in the center, guardian of the flame (ooh, ooh)

our Power was standing, at the heart of lamps held high

our Power was standing, at the heart of lamps held high (ahh)

Chorus

Our Power lives beyond the turning of the years

present before and after, holding time and death (holding)

He holds the raised light, He holds the steady flame

the stars are in His right hand, the lamps are His to tend

our Power walks among us, His radiance remains (remains)

Outro

the stars — messengers sent out, the lamps — people breathing life

our Power stands in the middle, watching, speaking even now (even now)

ohhh, ooh — ahh (soft)

mm-mm, breathe out, rest
