Beyond the Sunrise
Journey of Redemption: Beyond the Sunrise
Lyrics
Joseph was travelling with a heavy load
Joseph is traveling with a heavy emotional burden.
His dreams were broken and deep sorrow flowed from his brow
His dreams are shattered, and he is deeply sorrowful.
Closer to sundown he prepared to rest
As sundown approaches, Joseph prepares to rest.
Set down the burden,
He sets down his emotional burden.
Lay upon his chest
He lies down, feeling the weight on his chest.
Then she came
Then, a mysterious woman enters the scene.
Sir, come to me and I will keep you warm
The woman invites Joseph, offering warmth.
Taste hope in my skin and faith with the dawn
She suggests finding hope in her presence and faith in the upcoming dawn.
You will rise
Joseph is promised that he will rise.
Beyond the sunrise that is where we live
The woman talks about living beyond the sunrise.
Feeding our counsel and true comfort give
They sustain each other with counsel and true comfort.
Travelling men
Reference to traveling men, possibly Joseph and others.
Joseph was sure the liquor had caused this dream
Joseph suspects that alcohol influenced this dream.
His eyes were sure that heaven was not her scene
His eyes are certain that the woman doesn't belong to heaven.
She was no saint
The woman is portrayed as not being a saint.
Sir, come to me and I will keep you warm
She repeats the invitation to find warmth and hope.
Taste hope in my skin and faith with the dawn you will rise
Tasting hope in her presence and having faith, Joseph is assured he will rise.
