Clinging to this telescope, scanning the horizon,
Stranded in my little boat on the sea of dreams,
Running out of time and hope, searching for an island,
Finding every cruel mirage is never what is seems.
Then I sailed to the edge of the world,
And I saw your face, your wonderful face.
And that's when you called to my Lazarus heart,
Rescued my Lazarus heart,
Called to this Lazarus heart, "Rise again, rise again."
Drifting through this veil of mist, blinding and relentless,
Trying to understand the secret language of my soul,
Forces in me turn and twist, raging like a tempest,
Doubt and fear wash over me like waves that rise and roll.
Then I sailed to the edge of the world,
And I saw your face, your wonderful face.
And that’s when you call to my Lazarus heart,
Rescued my Lazarus heart,
Called to this Lazarus heart, "Rise again, rise again."
Suddenly the bells were ringing everywhere,
And angels filled the air like shooting stars across the sky,
Then I knew forever who you are, and tears of joy fell from my eyes.
Rescued my Lazarus heart, oh,
Called to my Lazarus heart, yeah,
Rescued my Lazarus heart, ooh,
Called to my Lazarus heart.

This collection a joy to listen to repeatedly...it’s made even more special by all the wonderful musicians (who are great in their own right) he shares in playing the music with...truly a wonderful collaborative experience paulsparks
Leaning into the sparse, impressionistic sound of 2023's albu "Nature Morte," the Montreal metallurgists sound as heavy and radiant as ever. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 21, 2024
Another classic Phil Keaggy album where it’s hard to pick just one favorite song. Too many good ones. Sounds, Movie, and Riverton are the backbone however and are must hears. Craig Opal
