Halo Made of Silver - jeremyhurtt.com

Verse 1

There was never any questionWhen Sunday rolled aroundWhere we'd be that morningWhen we drove in to townI would try to sleep in too longClaim a cold was coming onI'd end up inA minivanWith my best shoes and a jacket on

Verse 2

She seemed stronger than the mountainsTopping out at 5 foot tallWas wiser than the ancientsPurer than a nightjar's callIn a world that seemed against herShe held the devil tight at bayThree boys she'd sendInto the world as menBetter served with the Word on their way

Chorus

But her Halo has turned to silverAnd her wings are weighing downThe back that once boreThe weight and much moreServing as our solid groundAnd the sword she swung for justiceTo lead us along to the lightIs the story ofA servant of loveFound worthy in His sight Her Halo has turned to silverFound worthy in His sight

Verse 3

There are streets of gold awaitingThere are jewels and there are crownsThere are musical compositionsThere is joy and love raining downBut there are meals here still needing makingThere are songs still unsung in the lurchThere's kids to inspireWith a spot in the choirWednesday nights, Eagle Heights Baptist Church

Chorus

But her Halo has turned to silverAnd her wings are weighing downThe back that once boreThe weight and much moreServing as our solid groundAnd the sword she swung for justiceTo lead us along to the lightIs the story ofA servant of loveFound worthy in His sight Her Halo has turned to silverFound worthy in His sight

Verse 4

Some things are measured in metalSome things are weighed by their worthSome day we all will be testedTried by our time on this EarthThe most costly things we've collectedAre the things we leave happily behindWe'll all leave our livesSeek to join paradiseAnd the cost is the lost we help find

Chorus

And her Halo is made of silverAnd her wings are wide and soundHer back like a stoneAs straight as the throneServing as our solid groundAnd the sword she swings for justiceTo lead us along to the lightIs the story ofA servant of loveFound worthy in His sight Her Halo has turned to silverFound worthy in His sight
