Ruth - Hand on Head Lyrics

Put your hand on my head and keep it steady
Put your faith in my love; breathe when you're ready
And hold the life, oh it's bleeding dry
As your peace runs still and the slate falls empty

Oh the stumble into death the river running red
The stumble into death the river running red

And your hand on my head
Hand on head
Hand on head
Hand, hand on head

There's a price to the things that are deeply buried
A price to the skin and the dust you carry
Oh the death of God for the life of man
And the redemption of Adam a return to what it should be

Oh the stumble into death the river running red
The stumble into death the river running red

And your hand on my head
Hand on head
Hand on head
Hand, hand on head

The sinner has been bought at the highest cost
And the cry of how covered Eden's loss
Man cannot comprehend the lament of God
Calling out in the evening in a paradise lost

Oh the stumble into death the river running red
The stumble into death the river running red

And your hand on my head
Hand on head
Hand on head
Hand, hand on head
