From the depths of my heart

From the tips of my fingers

Strings playing your praise

A love unrehearsed

A love in force in the

Edges of this beautiful town

With beaches & suns

Cooking my tongues

A forgiving thumb of

My lonely soul, my lonely soul

Crying to you this wonderful night

--

Away from the moon, wondering

What makes the world turn

Away from the sun, pondering on these

Words read so early

Away from the trees, thinking of the

Psalms living in my body

Away from the water, free-flowing, my

Freedom locked

Away from my family, bringing myself

Back to your forgiving arms

Away from a way

--

Don’t just hear, but listen,

Don’t just listen, but do,

Don’t just do, but confess,

Don’t just confess, but receive,

Don’t just receive, but believe!

--

My beliefs bring me back to

Your lasting longing love

My unfaultering forever faith fulfills

This holy hunger humbling

--

What am I, Lord, if you are not in my life

Am I able to survive, am I able to write

Am I able to breathe, am I able to receive

Without you Lord, what do I become

Without you Lord, do I know what is love?

Am I able to forgive, am I able to live

Am I able to see, am I able to be

What am I Lord, if you are not in my life
