The purpose is the prayer
The making for the maker
And the velvet and the wool and the cotton and the silk
a gift to god
Her shadow in a name
A cover meant for comfort
And the yellow and the blue and the purple golden hues
a message meant for love
And if God sewed the skins of man
Then her body belongs in his hands
mmm
The bullrush and the veil
She's circling a sermon
And the lion and the lamb are singing in his hands
for love
A riot in a string
A song in color sounding
A scattering of time, an offering of light
are meant for love
And if God sewed the skins of man
Then her body belongs in his hands
The grief the pain, the joyful day
all in a tapestry you have made
Your mother's eyes, beneath beside
oh the memory, oh the light
mmm
Her free and broken square
The patchwork is a mirror
If you follow bending strings to the heart of everything
there's love
The purpose is a prayer
A cover meant for comfort
And the yellow and the blue, and the purple golden hues
are meant for love
The grief the pain, the joyful day
all in a tapestry you have made
your mother's eyes, beneath beside
oh the memory, oh the light
mmm
