Hollow Reed lyrics

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.
