Where The Sinners Meet Angels

There’s a holler past the graveyard Where the sinners learn to pray. Where broken men drag their shadows, Hopin’ angels lose their way. And I walk that path at midnight, Feelin’ heaven in the briars. ’Cause every sin I ever carried Glows like coals beneath your fire. I ain’t holy, But your name rings clean inside my blood. And I swear I hear the angels cryin’ When I fall back in the mud. If I’m lost, then let me be lost in you, ’Cause your mercy cuts me through. Where the sinners meet the angels And the sky sets fire to the ridge. I break, I bleed, I burn, And still you pull me from the edge. Your wings turn my ruin into light. Angel, take what’s left of me tonight. The wind knows every secret I have whispered to the dark. And it tells the mountain spirits How your grace still hits its mark. Your voice rises like revival In the shadows of my fear. And I fall down to my knees, Hearin’ angels screamin’ through the years. Take my sins, take my breath, Take the ghosts inside my chest. Every demon flees your shadow, But I can’t flee your caress. If redemption has a sound, Then it’s you Callin’ me out of the ground. Where the sinners meet the angels And the sky opens up like a wound of light. I’m a broken man you brought back from the shade. Your wings lift what the world let die. Angel, I’m your sinner till the end of time. In the hollow, in the hush, Where ashes dream of wings, You taught a sinner How an angel sings.
