New tongue

New season new tongue Gold thread in a dark hand Her story just begun Little girl in a kingdom Learning when to speak A crown laid on her heartbeat On a frightened, faithful queen [Chorus] For such a time as this You put courage on her lips When the night was closing in You were standing in the midst For such a time as this You were writing every twist What they meant to break apart You were turning with a whisper in her heart [Verse 2] Banquet table waiting Silk and quiet wine A secret in her rib cage A people on the line She walks in, hands shaking “Let it be,” she prays If I fall, I fall here But I’ll fall in Your grace [Chorus] For such a time as this You put courage on her lips When the night was closing in You were standing in the midst For such a time as this You were writing every twist What they meant to break apart You were turning with a whisper in her heart [Bridge] You are in the closed doors You are in the long odds You are in the shallow breath Of every child of God (oh-oh) When the world feels too big And my faith feels so small You remind me of a girl Who chose to risk it all [Chorus] For such a time as this Put Your courage on my lips When the night is closing in Be the fire within my chest For such a time as this You are writing every twist What they mean to break apart You are turning with a whisper in my heart
