TO YOU MY GOD
To you my God is my passion,
In you is my desire and love
To you is my heart and my kidneys,
To you is my spirit and my breath
To you are my hands to you are my legs,
and from you is my character
To you myself to you
Is my blood and my skin with my body
To you are my eyes
And my ideas and my shape and my form
To you is my spirit to you my strength
And my trust and my hope
To you I'll sob and not resemble
until you will illuminate my darkness
To you I'll call for, to you I'll cling
Until my return to my land
To you is kingship to you is tide,
To you is my craving adoration
To you is help in time of trouble,
Be my help when I'm in trouble
And what am I and what is my life
And what is my strength and my power
As a fallen straw pushed aside,
And how will you remember my mistake
And hidden light in front of you
Let it be my hideout and my abode
And under your wing's shade
Please allow my presence
