lyrics

Lifeblood
Genesis 9:1-17

You fill the earth, as fear and dread fill my heart.
And every heart of every bird in the sky,
And every creature that creeps, and every fish in the sea.

Though I’m just a bird we share this covenant,
This everlasing covenant,
I am a bird I see the colors in the sky just like you.
Just like you, never again will the waters destory me,
Never again, never again will the waters destroy us.

You hold me in your hand.
You hold me in your hand, though I am just a bird.
You eat my flesh, though I am just a bird.

Though I’m just a bird we share this covenant,
This everlasing covenant,
I am a bird I see the colors in the sky just like you.
Just like you, I am accountable for your lifeblood.
We are accountable, for you are in the image of God.

Though I’m just a bird we share this covenant,
This everlasting covenant.
I am a bird, I see the colors in the sky just like you.
Just like you, never again will the waters destory me.
Never again, never again will the waters destroy us.

And yet, I am in your hands, as a bird, I am.
I’m in your hand, like the green once was.

Though I’m just a bird we share this covenant,
This everlasting covenant.
I am a bird, I see the colors in the sky just like you.
Just like you, never again will the waters destory me.
Never again, never again will the waters destroy us.
