Even At The Grave Lyrics

I won't tell you not to weep

Yes, weep, like a mother in childbirth

For every mother weeps

And her labor, like a prayer in the chaos

It will all give way to wonder

Once the newborn has appeared

And so we grieve the world we lost

Yes, grieve, like the Lord did for Lazarus

Who felt the sting of death

And he was laid down in a tomb in the darkness

Then he heard the master's voice change a grave into a womb

Oh, and every one of us, we all go down to the dust

Oh, but even at the grave we make our song

Though God will wipe away our tears

Still weep, like a soldier on lookout

When he sees the evil tide

Still he fights, and he will not retreat yet

Though he knows he cannot win, he will keep the long defeat

Oh, and every one of us, we go down to the dust

Oh, but even at the grave we make our song

When we are held we can hold on

And if we are held, we can let go
