Damascus Road

I traveled down Damascus Road

With murder on my mind

So righteous was my mission

So heavy was my load

 

Saul was my companion

When Jesus struck us down

Saul rode on to find the Way

Yet I rode on alone

 

Three days and nights Saul suffered blind

Though he did fast and pray

‘Til Ananias came to him

Restored the light of day

 

Please lay your hands upon me

Brush warm lips ‘cross my brow

That the Holy Spirit

May enter in me now

 

Sweep away the heavy scales

That cover up my eyes

I know I’ve heard His word before

But I never realized

 

How long I’ve borne the darkness

While standing in the light

He sent you here to guide me

Bear witness to my plight

 

Somehow I missed the message

While the Kingdom lies within

Still two or more must gather

Before His love begins

 

The grace of God’s eternal

And always offered free

Yet it takes a mortal hand

To make delivery

Damascus Road was recorded live and uncut in the living room on an Olympus LS-10. Just me and a guitar about 2 feet away from the mic with levels set on automatic.
