Great Love Is a Fragile Thing - John Lucas

Hallelujah, Christ has risen

To raise the down-trodden

Death itself has found its ending

The lynched man breathes again

Rich man, rich man, strive no longer

Bow through the needle’s eye

Enter, enter, the land of promise

The peace you cannot sell nor buy

Lay your treasures at the feet of

The child who came for us

Oh, great love is a fragile thing

That raises the dead in us

Wise man, wise man, follow the stars

Drink wisdom at a child’s feet

Children, children, find your power

At your songs, the angels weep

Daughter, daughter, find your beauty

No longer through the eyes of man

Dance with might through rows of bondage

You were loved before the world began

Lay your treasures at the feet of

The child who came for us

Oh, great love is a fragile thing

That raises the dead in us
