Rick Elias is best known as a founding member of A Ragamuffin Band, formed by the late Rich Mullins in the late 1990's. Elias passed away on April 2, 2019.
As we walk the path our fathers walked before
Bound together by a scarlet thread of faith
We will share a dream that becomes our own
Oh, the more things change, the more they stay the same
The same sun rises and sets on us all
The nights are long, oh, but never in vain
We must lift our eyes in wonder with each dawn
Oh, the more things change, the more they stay the same
These painted hills and watercolour skies
Will one day surely fade to grey
But the love of God will never die
Oh, the more things change, the more they stay the same
Seasons pass, summer turns to fall
Our time is short, oh, but never in vain
We must lift our eyes in wonder and in awe
Oh, the more things change, the more they stay the same
Yes, the more things change, the more they stay the same
