Offertory Song Lyrics

Violet Hour Offertory Song

This is the field
 Where hundreds of people
 Like poppies are bursting
 And marching with pride
 Free to stay
 Free to fight, to shoot, to kill
 This is the field
 Where hundreds of people
 Are burning like crosses
 And turning to ash
 Free to go
 Free, the hurt, the pain, the blame

 Then you saved me from the water
 Then you changed me into fire
 Leaving tuppence on the plate
 You hurry home now don't be late
 Ahead you see the daylight fail
 Wonder where the time has gone

 This place is holy
 And this place is empty
 No one is praying to Jesus today
 Free to choose
 Free to win, to draw, to lose

 Then you saved me from the water
 Then you changed me into fire
 Leaving tuppence on the plate
 You hurry home now don't be late
 Ahead you see the daylight fail
 Wonder where the time has gone
