Upon These Plates

Drop

I write it down for you

I write it down for you

Verse 1

These hands shaped every plate

My father's words I gather close

I trace the lines he left behind

Then turn the page to my own road

Pre-Chorus

Nothing hidden nothing lost

Every mercy counted twice

Nothing hidden nothing lost

I keep the ledger of my life

Chorus

I write it down for you

Every morning every trial

I write it down for you

Let the record speak a while

From his story into mine

I will keep the faithful line

Drop

I write it down for you

I write it down for you

Verse 2

My own days are a smaller book

I hold the pen and hold my breath

What he began I carry on

A witness kept until my death

Pre-Chorus

Nothing hidden nothing lost

Every blessing on the scroll

Nothing hidden nothing lost

I surrender all control

Chorus

I write it down for you

Every morning every trial

I write it down for you

Let the record speak a while

From his story into mine

I will keep the faithful line

Bridge

I abridge I preserve

I abridge I proclaim

What was given I will serve

What was written I will name

Chorus

I write it down for you

Every morning every trial

I write it down for you

Let the record speak a while

From his story into mine

I will keep the faithful line

Drop

I write it down for you

I write it down for you
