John Waller Album: The Blessing Track: Sacred Pages
Sacred Pages Lyrics
(guest appearance by Mark Miller of Sawyer Brown) Luke 6:48 - John Waller and Scott Johnson
"The famous poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote, "Earth's crammed with heaven; And every common bush afire with God; But only he who sees takes off his shoes; The rest sit around it and pluck blackberries." My prayer is that God would open our eyes to see and ears to hear so that we will realize that Heaven is co-existing with us right here and now. This song was written while we were in the studio tracking the album. The producer, Mark Miller, liked it so much he said, "Let's cut it." Mark also sings backup on this song and he sounds pretty good singing background for a country singer who can't hear a lick of harmony!"
This earth is crammed with Heaven And every common bush Is blazing with the fire of God
But only he who sees Removes unworthy shoes To realize holy ground
And I'm standing on the Rock of Ages I'm basking in miracles I stand on sacred pages And this changes everything Everything I am
This changes everything I am
I tremble when I wonder How many times You call my name But only he who hears will turn to You
And I'm driven by a vision Of countless men who long for God But only he who dies will live in You
Singing Rock of Ages cleft for me Let me hide myself in Thee On Christ the Solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand
It changes everything I am On this Rock where I stand On this Rock I stand
