We leave behind
All the pain of alienation,
We bring the lies we believed
Out into the light,
The love we were made to feel,
Oh Rachel dry your tears,
Your hope it will rise
Until the trumpet sounds,
Until our home comes down,
Children of Zion raise up the sound,
Until our home comes down
I turn away from the springs
That cannot hold water
I will be sustained
By the true river of life
You make my eyes to see
You are upholding me
All through the night
Chorus
Set up a sign or a post
To give us direction,
Lead us by good, clear paths,
Show us the way
Our tired and restless ways
Help and defend us, please
Stay by my side
Chorus
Your deliverance is coming
For us while we wait,
In the wilderness You walk before us,
Give us grace

I discovered these songs during Advent, preparing for my CCD teaching lesson. Kids loved it, sang, danced, ... and learned about Bible stories. 7th graders: teens, but still kids. Great for multiple intelligence lesson plan preparation! music2017 Zuzka

My small children and I both love this album, which is an achievement in itself. But more than its wide appeal, it's rooted in the very language and heart of the Bible, which makes it very special indeed. Sylvia Maike
