Legion
Living among the dead
My home
If you seek to find me
In the tombs,
What do I have to do with you?
Physical bonds I break
Man’s restraints always fail
Driven to the desert
Living among the dead
Sitting at the feet of The Living One
Now in my right mind, clothed, renewed
Let me in the boat, away from the desert,
Away from the tombs
The Word that the wind and water obeys
The Word that answered the demons prayer
The Word says go and tell the good God
has done for you
I will proclaim Jesus
Early one Sunday morning
They will seek me in the tombs
I will send my messengers to ask
“Why do you seek the living among the dead?”
I have broken the bonds of sin
Death’s restraints have failed
I say go and tell the good God has done for you
What do I have to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God?
The answers are legion
