John Lucas
Great Love Is a Fragile Thing
[Verse 1]
Hallelujah, Christ has risen
To raise the down-trodden
Death itself has found its ending
The lynched man breathes again
[Verse 1]
Rich man, rich man, strive no longer
Bow through the needle's eye
Enter, enter, the land of promise
The peace you cannot sell nor buy
[Chorus]
Lay your treasures at the feet of
The Child who came for us
Oh, great love is a fragile thing
That raises the dead in us
[Verse 3]
Wise man, wise man, follow the stars
Drink wisdom at a child’s feet
Children, children, find your power
At your songs, the angels weep
[Verse 4]
Daughter, daughter, find your beauty
No longer through the eyes of man
Dance with might through rows of bondage
You were loved before the world began
[Chorus]
Lay your treasures at the feet of
The Child who came for us
Oh, great love is a fragile thing
That raises the dead in us
