WHEN THE EVENING COMES
(Copyright © 2000 by Thomas Honles . All Rights Reserved)
Have you heard, about the vintner and his wages
Hired help all throughout the ages
Paid the last one - as much as the first
What will you get when the evening comes?
Do you know about the seed that one day dies?
An open door, right before your eyes
Waiting for sunrise in the coldest hour of night
What will you have when the evening comes?
When the evening comes
da da da da da da da
Nothing gained if nothing’s ever lost
A man can live but never pay the cost
Pharoahs and kings, poets and paupers
What will you have when the evening comes?
When the evening comes
da da da da da da da
Pour the wine, that washes away sin
The bread of pain - lets salvation in
Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
Is that all we are, when the evening comes?
You give your life, as a sacrifice, for all humanity
There’s a rugged cross, on Calvary, for all the world to see
Many are called, but few of you are chosen
A field of harvest, that you haven’t sown in
Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
Is that all we are, when the evening comes?
When the evening comes
da da da da da da da
Is that all we are when the evening comes
Is that all we are when the evening comes
Is that all we are when the evening comes
Is that all we are
