Floodplain cover
06. Native Tongue
Album: Floodplain
Artist: Sara Groves
         
 

I know what you’re saying it’s my native tongue
heard it as a child and it soothed me
I know where we’re going like the river runs
in its pathways

I know what you’re saying
I know what you’re saying

something really happened
it was wild and true
we talked about it for a hundred years
looking for the Spirit but the Spirit moves,
I believe he’s moving here

I know what you’re saying
I know what you’re saying

looking for a language that is older still
the taproot of a living Word
resonating echoes of an Eden song
waiting to be heard

chorus

I know what you’re saying
I know what you’re saying

looking for a language that is older still
the taproot of a living Word
resonating echoes of an Eden song
waiting to be heard

looking for a language that is older still
the taproot of a living Word
resonating echoes of an Eden song
waiting to be heard
waiting to be heard

I know what you’re saying it’s my native tongue
I know what you’re saying, I know what you’re saying


Words and music by Sara Groves

Behind the Song:
I am of the nation of Israel, from the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews. As far as the Law is concerned, I was a Pharisee…
