Andrew Osenga - The Year of the Locust Lyrics

Try our hardest not to think about it
Who are we fooling? We never stop
The longing, the hurting, the doubting
Worn out from waiting for a parachute drop

Hey you, in the reflection of the rear view of a hit and run at the drive through
Slow down, what you're chasing isn't something, it's a screenshot of a rumor in town

And the Spirit moves upon the waters

Take comfort and rest
In the heart of an uncivil war and you're taking a beating
Blood red on your chest
He will restore the years the locusts have eaten
The locusts have eaten

Don't know how to really talk about it
We smile over coffee and turn to go
Too worn down to reach out to another
Too dried up to tend the ground where we need to grow

Our plans are a lost key to a hotel where we checked out to go find ourselves
It's time, and it always was, and it will again, but we'll never be who we were back then
When the Spirit moved upon the waters

Take comfort and rest
When the heart is an uncivil war and you're taking a beating
Blood red on your chest
He will restore the years the locusts have eaten
The locusts have eaten
We're aching for Eden

Celebrate!! take joy!
As the dry bones dance
I'm on a rock in the river
In this moment I have a place to stand

And the Spirit moves upon the waters

Take comfort and rest
When the heart is an uncivil war and you're taking a beating
Blood red on our chests
He will restore the years the locusts have eaten
The locusts have eaten
We're aching for Eden
