On The Divide

Bebo Norman

The sky was the color of morning

And the mountains surrounded

The ground as our bed.

The Spirit would rise without warning

Just to burn like the sun

That would soon warm our hands.



And the world was three days behind us,

And the world was three days ahead.

But for now no one could find us

In the wilderness.



Only bound by the burdens we brought,

But we were slowly releasing them

Along the way.

Pride was the battle we fought

Until we opened our eyes

To the Light of that day



The past towered before us,

But we could see the top of the trail.

So we climbed with strength we're not born with

And we were rising...



We stood on that mountain,

We turned to the sky.

With trembling inside,

We lifted our eyes

And pulling us higher...

Was something Divine

That gave us that time

On the Divide.

It was something Divine

That gave us that time

On the Divide.



So we turned from our view at the top

With a vision so clear

And the sun in our face.

And back to the valley we walked

Knowing everything good

Has its time and its place.



New life was brning inside us

Still it hurt turning to home.

But the same Spirit would guide us

That we had seen when...



We stood on that mountain,

We turned to the sky.

With trembling inside,

We lifted our eyes

And pulling us higher...

Was something Divine

That gave us that time

On the Divide.

It was something Divine

That gave us that time

On the Divide.
