God
There is a greatness about You
That causes no apprehension
No being overwhelmed-
I am amazed at what I have seen
Your doings from beginning to end
I do not expect less of you
than the parting of my red Sea
impelling that which confronts me
from all sides
Prepare my voice for song-to make
Music from Zion-when I am in
my strange land. Cause me to rejoice
in my restrained despairing valley.
Never take Your Spirit away-
I stand in awe of You-remind me
that the coals on my tongue
are for the cleansing of my heart-
in the purity of praise
that captures Your way of holiness.
Forever keep my mind arrested in
the face of love
