In St. Augustine’s shadow He kneels in the dust Graspin’ for light in the places of rust Funeral tones whisper Spirits stirred Where hearts find grace in unspoken words Jesus’ grace A soft refrain Like echoes of rain on an old windowpane Strings weep A choir of woes Yet in those tears New life grows Ashes of sin Shadows at play In the light They’re cast away Eternal hope Love’s gentle bloom In the stillness of this darkened room Cold winds howl through the ancient trees Beneath the weight of repentant pleas Spirits rise On trembling wings Carried by the chords that forgiveness brings Moonlight falls on quiet graves Old stories released from guilt’s binds and chains In the hush A prayer unfolds A tale of redemption Timeless and old Ashes of sin Shadows at play In the light They’re cast away Eternal hope Love’s gentle bloom In the stillness of this darkened room
