Lyrics
There was a time
Not so long ago
When I walked the valley of death
One cold Lenten night
You came to me
Said, Give up what isn't your own
We walked through the dust
Over the viper's domain
We stepped through shattering glass
Not looking for light
Nor for the truth explained
You said, Roll away the stone
In a low-hanging room
Calling out their names
Saying to each one
Do this in memory of me
You bowed and you sang
My gift belongs to you
I finally heard
Mother, I found your Son
You led me in
He set a place for me
A rough board, a peasant's cold meal
But, Teacher, I begged
I cannot receive
He said, You shall be healed
In a low-hanging room, etc.
Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei
Qui tollis peccata mundi
Lamb of God
Who takes away our sin
Grant us peace
Now as I walk
This vale of tears
My life is a small enough price
For you took my hand
You took me straight to Him
Fruit of your womb, Jesus Christ
In a low-hanging room, etc.
