Weary eyes greet the LA sky
Tequila sun comes rising up
All night drive down California 5
Burned out stars freeway cars and trucks
Achan's sin the pride within
Drove me to this forsaken place
I played the game in Jesus' name
Mocked the king of kings right to his face
Come on down to the gospel nation
Mount Zion by the sea
Wade into the water rescued sons and daughters
Shine the light of liberty that sets men free
Return once more to the sandy shoreline
Find revival in the stream
Singing songs that stir the angels
Come alive and share the dream
The hired hand he does not stand
He flees from pain and suffering
Lured along by the siren's song
To a graceless land where fools will crown him king
To spare his life the rich man's wife
Gave provisions to the warrior king
The greatest gift by far my shining star
Life's most precious thing the one who wears my ring
Come on down to the gospel nation
Mount Zion by the sea
Wade into the water rescued sons and daughters
Shine the light of liberty that sets men free
Return once more to the sandy shoreline
Find revival in the stream
Singing songs that stir the angels
Come alive and share the dream
Revolution sparks a dead man's heart
Portland starts the dream again
Moving stairs descend ten-year exile ends
Thrilled to the bone, "Brother welcome home!"
Come on down to the gospel nation
Mount Zion by the sea
Wade into the water rescued sons and daughters
Shine the light of liberty that sets men free
Return once more to the sandy shoreline
Find revival in the stream
Singing songs that stir the angels
Come alive and share the dream
