John Michael Talbot – Greenwood Suite lyrics

Appeal
Listen to loves' lullaby
It's makin' time stand still
Listen to the wilderness cry
The Spirit singin' as He will
And you know you're comin' home

There is a freedom song
Singin' without words and lines
The child of silence come to sing along
His tongue does cease to twist and tie
And you know you're comin' home
So listen to the singer sing the Prophet's song
He tells the time to come
The Plowman and His team, they keep on pushin' on
To sow His field before it's come and gone
And you know you're comin' home

So when the greenwood is burnin' dry
You know the last time is drawin' nigh

And then the love will flow, the love will flow so freely
Then the love will flow through the Beautiful City

But now the greenwood is burnin' dry
Watch it burn as it writes through your sky
Mother nature, now we listen to your call
We look upon your mountains, let them fall

This is the time..., so come on now listen!!
This is the time..., my Jesus come to me
This is the time..., so come on low listen!!
This is the time..., to be free

So listen to the singer sing the Prophet's song
Come listen to the Word
The Plowman and His team, they keep on pushin' on
As the greenwood starts to burn
And you know you're comin' home

Interlude
And the time is movin' still
Mother nature, like a child does cry
Imprisoned to the bondage
As the greenwood burns dry
But there's a Spirit of sweet freedom
To release her like a mighty Wind
To cleanse her through the sons in Jesus
Like in the garden again can you feel the Wind?

Proclamation of Victory
So let the greenwood tell her own story
Let the greenwood sing her own song
But the greenwood, will it last through tomorrow?
But the Spirit moves on, He moves on!
So who is the King of the glory
Who is the King but the Lord?
So [tell me] who is the King of the glory
Who reigns but Jesus the Lord?
