Heart Gone Wild

from Promised Land by John Lucas

/

lyrics

Dance past the whitewashed tombs
And make way for the Bridegroom
Oh He’s come to bring life to the dead

Dance past the dry wells
And run from the desert’s curses and spells
For you will never thirst again

Can you find a righteous man?
Do you know a faultless land?
Oh He’s come to wipe our records clean

Hear the ring of the fallen chains
See the world forget its aches and pains
At the mention of His very name

Come on and dance like a child
Come on and dance like a man whose heart’s gone wild
Come and dance like a river to the sea
Come on and dance, ‘cause you have been set free

Hear the march of the victor’s feet
Hear the thunder of His heart as it beats
For the taking of His bride

And He has prepared a place
Where we’ll finally see His face
And we’ll be lifted from our knees

Come on and dance like a child
Come on and dance like a man whose heart’s gone wild
Come and dance like a river to the sea
Come on and dance, ‘cause you have been set free

Let the filthy dance with the righteous
Let the filthy dance with the righteous
He’s covered our shame with His blood and a wedding ring

So dance, come on dance…On your own graves
Oh dance, come on dance…He calls us lovers, not slaves

He makes the shamed beautiful
He makes the broken whole
He makes the darkness turn and flee
