From the recording Safe Place
ONION LAYERS
(words and music by Eilidh Patterson)
There is a reality clearer than the sky or sea
And it’s taking root inside of me, ooohhhh
A branch of the living Vine, no I’m not bound by space or time
I am tasting of the new wine, ooohhhh
CHORUS:
It’s like peeling back the layers of an onion
Seeing who I am and where I come from
And it’s not down here
I’m from way beyond the atmosphere, ooohhhh
Every day I am renewed living on eternal truth
I am feasting on Spirit food, ooohhhh
Manna to the hungry soul who’s fallen deep into a hole
And is ready to give up control, ooohhhh
CHORUS
We just had a conversation then I had a revelation
We just had a conversation then I had a revelation
The cover’s blown the secret’s out, there’s no more fear and no more doubt
I finally know what life’s about, ooohhhh
I’m growing up and moving in to living life from Christ within
Where I’m dead to self and dead to sin, ooohhhh
CHORUS
