Lifeline

Neal Morse · Testimony 2 - Live In Los Angeles [2011]

Maker of the sun and shade

The plans were made before the morning

At a time when no one knew

He left a clue and sent us a lifeline... It's fine



Then along came a man like me

With everything laid out before him

Then it all came crashing down

A man can drown from thoughts in his own mind



Like something deep inside my soul

Was sinking fast; I was the hole

When I was almost out of time



He gave me a lifeline right down to my soul

He gave me a lifeline that I might grab a hold



Suffering was nothing new

My days were few without a let down

Something down there deep inside

Dissatisfied with everything I'd find



And in the clouds he sent the sky

Into a desert running dry

He sent a river full of life



He gave me a lifeline right down to my soul

He gave me a lifeline that I might grab a hold

He gave me a lifeline when I was cast away

He gave me a lifeline right up from the grave



He sent me a lifeline when I was on my own

Far from the borders he came and brought me home

He sent me a lifeline when I was down the hole

My world was like an ocean raging out of control



Send me a lifeline

Send me a lifeline



Once upon another time

He made my mind a different color

Painted on my destiny away between

The black and lonely sky... Let's fly!



He gave me a lifeline right down to my soul

He gave me a lifeline that I might grab a hold

He gave me a lifeline when I was cast away

He gave me a lifeline and I'm alive today



He gave me a lifeline

He gave me a lifeline and I'm alive today

He gave me a lifeline

Jesus is my lifeline
