Hymn #101

And I've come to know the wish list of my father I've come to know the shipwrecks where he's been I've come to wish allow Among the overdressed crowd Come to witness now the sinking of this ship Throwing pennies from the sea top next to it And I've come to roam the forest Past the village With a dozen lazy horses in my cart I've come here to get high To do more than just get by I've come to test the timber of my heart Oh I've come to test the timber of my heart And I've come To be untroubled in my seeking And I've come To see that nothing is for not I've come to reach out blind To reach forward and behind For the more I seek The more I'm sought Yea the more I seek The more I'm sought And I've come to meet the sheriff And his posse To offer him the broad side of my jaw I've come here to get broke And maybe bum a smoke We'll go drinking two towns over after all Oh we'll go drinking two towns over after all And I've come to meet the legendary takers I've only come to ask them for a lot Aw they say I come with less Than I should rightfully possess I say: The more I buy The more I'm bought And the more I'm bought The less I cost And I've come To take their servants and their surplus And I've come To take their rain coats and their speed I've come to get my fill To ransack and spill I've come to take the harvest for the seed I've come to take the harvest for the seed And I've come to know the manger you sleep in I've come to be the stranger that you keep I've come from down the road And my footsteps never slowed Before we met I knew we'd meet Before we met I knew we'd meet And I've come here to ignore you cries and heartaches I've come to closely listen to you sing I've come here to insist That I leave here with a kiss I've come to say exactly what I mean And I mean so many things And you've come To know me stubborn as a bitcher And you've come To know me thankless as a guest But will you recognize my face When god's awful grace Strips me of my jacket and my vest And reveals all the treasure in my chest.
