Lyrics for Seven Ways Of Going

I've got seven ways of going, seven where's to be Seven sweet disguises, seven ways of serving Thee Lord, I do extol Thee, for Thou has lifted me Woke me up and shook me out of mine iniquity Oh, I was undulating in the lewd impostered night Steeped in a dream to rend the seams to redeem the rock of right Swept through the seas of Galilee and the Seven Hills of Rome Seven sins were wrung from the sight of me Lo I turned my neck toward home Ah, I opened up my arms to You, and we spun from life to life `Til you loosened me and let me go toward the everlasting light In this big step I am taking seven seizures for the true I got seven ways of going, seven ways of serving You As I move through seven levels As I move upon the slate As I declare to you The number of my moves As I speculate the eighth Seeking love without exception A light upon the swarm Seeking love without exception A saint in any form
