lyrics

Jahwe

Jahwe, here is my song for you:
may You bend down
Your infinite grace
pray, may my faith prove true

Jahwe
I am a doubting man
but I saw the evergreen glow in the moonlight
and I’m putting my heart in Your hand

Jahwe
fortune can be so unkind
my life does not seem to be written
help me choose with a clearer mind

Jahwe
flowing inside of my veins
following the path of the tiniest sparrow
diving down through the trees when it rains

may the love in my heart
be the will You impart
amen

Jahwe
this is the truth I would try:
help me to find the kingdom of Heaven
looking back from my child’s own eyes

Jahwe
I hear You in the summer’s last sigh
may I find You somehow in the deepest of winters
when I can’t hear the graylag geese cry

Jahwe
the lilies neither toil nor spin
help me stop fighting the love I am seeking
by finding the joy that’s within

Jahwe
color my cheeks when they pale
help me somehow to lift up my burden
when I’m tired or hurting or frail
and may the love in my heart
be the will You impart

amen
