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
