Johnny Cash Look Unto The East Lyrics

Look Unto The East Lyrics

The teacher of truth told tales of trouble times that would begin

And the
cynical sewer sowed the sorrowful seeds of seven sins

The people placed a
prize upon the prince of perfect peace

And the one who wooed the world was
wounded, look unto the East



The morning moved in mournfully with
many moments smart

My brawny beast who beat the beauty, bound and bit and
barred

They laid the lash upon him low, his lips moved not the least

Watch him come from where he did go, look unto the East



The
devil threw his darts and the dearest dove came droppin’ down

But the
spirit slips in soft and sweetly, unseen with no sound

The comforter, the
counsellor with us till time is ceased

And the groom will return for his
bride, look unto the East
