Hollow Reed

Make me as a hollow reed, that I may play and plant Thy seed.Rascal's closet may be lit, and have a needy rhyme in it.Make me as a flute of stone that when I play Thy wind is blown.Rascal's hideaway might chill, and die away from sill to sill.Hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed.Make me as a hollow reed that I may sing your grace, my steed.Rascal's secret will be seen in its decay and sickening green.Make me as a proof in turn, I will prove to them that yearn.Rascal's lie is manifest and never could survive your test.Hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed.Make me as a hollow reed so I may give them what they need.Rascal's reign will come to end and monarch's eyes will shine again.Make me strong for I am weak, give me words and I will speak. Rascal's cheeks will burn in shame when all of us know Your Name.Hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed.Hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed.
