Blessed Be The Ties - Phil Keaggy

Out of the single life into the family way

So many scripted lines, so many roles to play

Ever a pressure pressing, ever an undertow

Why do the ties you’ve chosen slowly pull you low?

Over the things we love into the still unknown

I had a dream last night I was finally left alone

Nothing to tie me down, no one to kiss goodnight

Never again to feel your whisper pull me to your side

And oh, an emotion cries

Oh, sing blessed be the ties

Under the veil he walks through the relentless chill

Ever to bear your grief, ever rejected still

Out of the deep He pulls you into the arms you trust

Nothing can separate us from the ties that bind to You

And oh, as your spirits rise

Oh, sing blessed be the ties

Stay with me, never let go

Take me to your side, am I dreaming

Oh, an emotion cries

Oh, sing blessed be the ties

Blessed be the ties
