Wowsers... Sting.com has lyrics from a few of the songs on the upcoming Sting album. Check out this inspiring cut, "Dead Man's Rope":
Now I'm suspended between my darkest fears and darkest hope
Yes I've been walking, now I'm hanging from a dead man's rope
With Hell below me, and Heaven in the sky above
I've been walking, walking away from Jesus love...
The shadows fall
Around my bed
When the hand of an angel
The hand of an angel is reaching above my head
All this wandering
Has led me to this place
Inside the well of my memory
Sweet rain of forgiveness
Now I'm walking in his grace
I'm walking in his footsteps
Walking in his footsteps
Walking in his footsteps...
All the days of my life I will walk with you
All the days of my life I will talk with you
All the days of my life I will share with you
All the days of my life I will bear with you
Walk away from emptiness
Walk away from sorrow
Walk away from yesterday
Walk away tomorrow
Walk away from anger
Walk away from pain
Walk away from anguish
Walk into the rain...
Wow... I never thought I'd hear Sting singing straight-up Gospel lyrics. He's done a lot of arguing with the Almighty over the years, and this newfound spiritual contentment is encouraging, especially coming from an artist like him. Looking forward to the new album more than ever.
