Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Show me the place where you want Your slave to go
Show me the place, I've forgotten, I don't know
Show me the place for my head is bendin' low
Show me the place where You want your slave to go
[Verse 2]
Show me the place, help me roll away the stone
Show me the place, I can't move this thing alone
Show me the place where the word became a man
Show me the place where the suffering began
[Verse 3]
The troubles came, I saved what I could save
A shred of light a particle away
But there were chains, so I hastened to the hay
There were chains, so I loved You like a slave
[Verse 4]
Show me the place where you want Your slave to go
(Show me the place)
Show me the place, I've forgotten, I don't know
(Show me the place)
Show me the place for my head is bendin' low
(Show me the place)
Show me the place where you want Your slave to go
[Verse 5]
The troubles came, I saved what I could save
A shred of light a particle away
But there were chains, so I hastened to the hay
There were chains, so I loved You like a slave
[Verse 6]
(Show me the place, show me the place, show me the place)
[Verse 7]
Show me the place, help me roll away the stone
Show me the place, I can't move this thing alone
Show me the place where the word became a man
Show me the place where suffering began
