"Kells" lyrics - IONA

I stand on ground I've walked before
To seek the way
And see the night become the dawn
To show the path the goose has flown
A time will come and truth reveal
The glory of eternal God
Jesus the son, the living word

When beauty's colours fade away
And earthly pages find decay
The word divine, always the same

His word shall live forever
His word shall live forever
The word is a sword that pierces the heart
The truth is a light that cuts through the dark
Of this world

Nations shall rise, nations shall fall,
Nothing shall stand
In the way of the word

The word is a sword that pierces the heart
The truth is a light that cuts through the dark
Of this world

Nations shall rise, nations shall fall,
Nothing shall stand
In the way of the word
