Turn the key in the iron lock
Bb
Of the old oak door

Lean into its passages

Silver wings delivering the chains?

Streams of colored light make hallow home

Singing the rock of ages
F G Dm
Though the gold is marred by red
F G Dm
Singing the rock of ages
F G Dm
Melt it down and make new things
F G Dm
Singing the rock of ages
F G Dm
Empires are made this way
F G Dm
Singing the rock of ages

The deeper desire

And turn the key in a cellar door
Bb Dm G F C
I want to know why
Dm Bb F C
All these stories never spoken

Danced or drawn or sung or written

How we built this temple song by song
