Nights 'Round the Table

I discovered a folder on my computer with a bunch of old RealAudio files in it. I compiled them back in 1998 after Holly Krueger and I did a concert in New Jersey. She and I performed two hours, soley with songs that I had written. This one in particular caught my eye. It's such a cool song! I love how the lyrics are all double-meaning.

Here's the audio file (she sang some of the lyrics wrong, so ignore that).

Nights 'Round the Table
by Jason Silver

I long O Love, just to dance through the night.
You take the lead and I'll move in Your light.
See, I await the return of the King.
Soon You'll return and I'll be here to sing:

Chorus 1
Welcome to You my Lord
So glad to meet You now.
Your majesty is too much for my eyes!
So before You I bow!

Hark! Now the Son has begun to arise
I see his smile looking back through my eyes.
Where flees the night and what beckons the day?
Naught but a hope in each word that You say.

Chorus 2
Simply, You are my Lord!
Find me on bended knee.
In your high courts, safe within your strong walls
This is where I shall be!


Bridge:
'Tis but a fortnight before You return
Look, I am waiting, behold how I yearn!
On your white horse you will ride o'er the earth
Coming for those who have found second birth.

Nights 'round the table
I hold to the sword.
Breastplate and shield,
Shoes of faith, little more.
Dragon will flee when he sees the King's son.
Rage on! O battle, for vict'ry's been won

Chorus 2
We are your servants Lord.
And we shall ever be!
You've made mere peasants now heirs to your throne!
Tell me! How can this be?
