Lyrics |
I travelled far and wide through many different times
[or in the Preston and H&S live versions: I travelled far and wide where dwell saints and kings] What did you see there? I saw the saints with their toys What did you see there? I saw all knowledge destroyed I travelled far and wide through many different times I travelled far and wide to prisons of the cross What did you see there? The power and glory of sin What did you see there? The blood of Christ on their skins I travelled far and wide through many different times I travelled far and wide where unknown martyrs died What did you see there? I saw the one-sided trials What did you see there? I saw the tears as they cried They had tears in their eyes Tears in their eyes -- |
