DISTANT DRUMS

The distant drums, they beat louder
Louder so that all may hear
The distant drums are calling out
For the Son of Man to come again

Let every heart listen & respond
Sounding the call of the Son of God, King of all
Let the people be humbled on bended knee
In repentant worship to the King of kings

Creation resounds with the distant drums
Knocking on the hearts of every daughter & son
Beating to the tune of the Lovers' song
Revealing the Story of the Sacred Romance

The Son of God, glorified, dying the death of man
Rising again the Saviour King
Giving to all His undying sacred love
Forever to bind us to Himself through His Blood

United in His death we celebrate His life
In God, In Christ, In Spirit & In Truth
We are the called, We are the chosen indeed
Yet we are the children & lovers of God

THE DISTANT DRUMS PLAY THE SALVATION SONG
JESUS CHRIST THE LOVER OF OUR SOULS

Die stilte van die druppels wat so saggies
Die droog en dors aarde tref...
Dieper en dieper trek die geneesende druppels deur...
Deur al die gif van my menslike ambisie
Verby al die mure van my opgeboude hartseer & pyn
Ver verby al my woede deur die jare wat diep en donker begrawe le
Suiwerende druppels deur tot die plek van my diepste skaam

Hier staan ek, maar net 'n mens in die storm van heling
"Give to me clean hands and a pure heart and
Renew a right spirit within me"
Nes David was dit my plig aan U
Was my met U Woord & vul my met U lig
Veilig toegevou in U hande is ek suiwer, skoon & uitgekies

Hier staan ek, 'n mens, 'n kind, 'n vrou van God
