Sweet Work Of Love

[Verse 1: Gene Eugene]
The ground opened up, and you were hurled to ruin
The fabric of the earth just ripped in two
You were famous and beautiful, commanding the nations
But you were bloodied and battered before the day was through

[Verse 2: Derri Daugherty]
You're like some great dead planet scarred by rifts, ruts, and cracks
From all the mighty collisions and the knives in your back

[Gene Eugene and Derri Daugherty]
Still there's ambrosia on your surface and manna for the hungry
And food for the beggar and the poor for your money, yeah

[Chorus]
You will be brilliant, you will be brilliant
A reflection of the sun above
You will be brilliant, you will be brilliant
Predestined for the sweet work of love

[Verse 3: Terry Taylor]
Your light has been extinguished, and war has scorched your earth
There's frozen death on the equator, and some beast is giving birth
There is argon and neon and fire in your hair
Your blood is methane and ammonia, your soul is tumult and despair

[Verse 2: Mike Roe]
You're like some great dying planet scarred by rifts, ruts, and cracks
From all the mighty collisions and the knives in your back

[Terry Taylor and Mike Roe]
Still there's ambrosia on your surface and manna for the hungry
And food for the beggar and the poor for your money, yeah

[Chorus]
You will be brilliant, you will be brilliant
A reflection of the sun above
You will be brilliant, you will be brilliant
Predestined for the sweet work of love

[Bridge: Terry Taylor]
Maybe not today, but you will find a way
And shine like the light of the world
You're thinking that you're through, but I believe that you will
Shine like the light of the world

[Verse 4: Derri Daugherty]
Who told you Jesus was rich man, that he stayed in the best hotels?
Who sold you living water then put poison in your wells?

[Gene Eugene]
No, your wealth will never save you, can't fill a river that's run dry
You can't bribe a camel to go through a needle's eye

[Verse 2: Terry Taylor]
You're gonna be some great dying planet full of rifts, ruts, and cracks
From all the mighty collisions and the knives in your back

[Terry Taylor and Mike Roe]
Still there's ambrosia on your surface and manna for the hungry
And food for the beggar and the poor for your money, yeah

[Chorus]
You will be brilliant, you will be brilliant
A reflection of the sun above
You will be brilliant, you will be brilliant
Predestined for the sweet work of love

[Chorus]
Yeah, you will be brilliant, you will be brilliant
A reflection of the sun above
You will be brilliant, you will be brilliant
Predestined for the sweet work of love
Predestined for the sweet work of love
Predestined for the sweet work of love
