lyrics

Lord, you are my lover, my longing
The day of soft awakening, my Sun,
Was the day I came when you called me.
You intone the song, and I dance,
From love to wisdom
From wisdom to joy, from joy;
Sensations not human, when you call me.

Was my core crafted sugar,
in the moisture of my wanting;
Collapsed, it ran into your water
Now I am your reflection
A mirror, opening the sky

Touched in love by you,
My every string must sound,
The golden breath of all creation draws,
and brightens to fire; when you call me.
Fish won't drown in water,
The bird in flight won't tumble from the air,
And Love is my nature
