from BALM IN GILEAD
His Jeweled Floor
-
written by Rickie Lee Jones
And when you arrive
shining and new
Forgotten by the fear and pain
you put your body throughOn His Jeweled Floor
We are every one
Laying in His starry arms,
On His Jeweled Floor we are standing now
See me as I am...You’ll come in the afternoon
of a hard travelin’ day
Blown by a stromy sky
that finally passes awayOn His Jeweled Floor
We will meet again
He holds us all in His starry arms
On His Jeweled Floor I am standing now
Can you see me as I am?There are no demons, only angels
Life will surely fade
Spend it loving tenderly
Or Shiva at your grave,
Sit shiva at your grave,On His Jeweled Floor
we will all be there
He holds us all in His starry arms
On His Jeweled Floor no one ever falls
Can you see me as I am,
as we dance a thousand suns?
