Hindsight

As I drift on the water, a voice calling to me had said "Sail in to the harbor, cast down your nets and follow Me" First of all the chosen, I saw the raising of the dead It must be my devotion, for I stood alone upon that sea So I walked on the tempest, I saw the waves below my feet It's clear I was the bravest, to meet the stranger on the deep I am the rock on which to build this land Got the keys to the kingdom, I'm at His right hand I was the first among the chosen, the boldest in devotion Walking out upon the ocean, what else could I need? I'm well-versed in forgiveness, as many as seven times repeat In service was I fearless; attack my king, my blade you'd reap What else could I need? What else could I need? Haunting my reflection, a bitter thought comes to my mind I made known my objection, about how You had come to die You said my thoughts were of the devil's kind I was opposed to Your kingdom, and I should get behind But You were talking like You're cursed, already laying in Your deathbed Maybe somehow You were mislead, may it never be! You said I would fall away, before the rooster's crow would end To my shame did I betray, deny You as my closest friend I'm singing, heart is hardened I'm sleeping in the garden I'm swinging swords I'm guarding my kindgom and my stardom Am I different than Judas? For I betrayed the kindest friend I'm all out of excuses, with nothing to make my amends O Love! O Love! O Love! You bottomless abyss! O Love! O Love! O Love! You bottomless abyss! How tender You had spoken, though I betrayed the kindest friend Faithful in devotion, such love I cannot comprehend Oh when You found me I was broken From the words that I had spoken But You were faithful in devotion You remembered me! You remembered me! --- Hindsight - Wolves at the Gate
