Song Lyrics

"Ashes in Our Hands"

by Jerusalem
Album: In His Majesty's Service - Live in USA

Hellfire and brimstone
You've heard the prophets cry
From saint to politician
The world's end is nigh
D'ya recognize their story
You've heard it all before
So how come all you people
Keep coming back for more

But you don't have to be a Christian
To understand, this world is crumbling
Ashes, in our hands

So, as the end gets nearer
And hope fades day by day
You get to love your blindness
Content to stay that way
The sun is disappearing
As dark trees block the sky
You sowed the seeds they grew from
And in their shade you'll die

But you don't have to

This is no empty story
No man made fantasy
It's gonna take a miracle
To set creation free
All things were created
Through Jesus Christ, God's son
And everything can be made new
When his reign has begun

You see you've gotta be a Christian
You've gotta take your stand
It's your decision
The future lies with Jesus
Resting in his hand
