THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

there was once a time I know
when all roads led back to home
and all skies would start out blue
and all songs were sung for you

but that was when I was a child
spoke a child thought as a child
when like a child I had my reasons
coming going as the seasons

playing dusk to night to day
saying what I had to say
then became a man and blind
and put all of those things behind

through a glass darkly
that is what we see
now through a glass darkly
at what we've come to be
how through a glass darkly
nothing is revealed
but nothing is concealed
but through a glass darkly
we feel
what we think is real

I only know a little part
of what I see in the dark
I only know as I am known
all my brothers left alone

love and hope and heart and faith
on He we sit atone and wait
remembering the distant past
just to be fulfilled at last

and when my time is gone
and I leave in the dawn
my heart is filled with love
as my soul empties out above

through a glass darkly
that is what we see
now through a glass darkly
at what we've come to be
how through a glass darkly
nothing is revealed
but nothing is concealed
but through a glass darkly
we feel
what we think is real
