Barque

Let Me Be Nothing

Crying Out

 When your barque has left the harbour

Guided by breeze alone

You will be amazed at all

The things you will be shown

Consign your fate to the tiller man

Your passage has been paid

To places you cannot imagine

Your way is already laid

Crying Out

Let Me Be Nothing

Crying Out

 A soul crying out in anguish

Is aware of a better life

Without war and conflict

Suffering, contention and strife

Such a life is also without

Lust, self-love and fear

These, the enemies of joy,

Are ever lurking near

Slay lust with a desire for God

Love Him and self-love dies

Fear of God kills all other fears

This way salvation lies

Grieving turns to joy

Suffering brings you bliss

Then you are accepted

What could be better than this?

Let Me Be Nothing

Let Me Be Nothing

Let Me Be Nothing

  Let me walk in the land of holiness

From which loneliness has been banished

The place where no other

Need ever be considered

Where fear and grief are memories

Where heartbreak never comes

To see how His Will

Is guiding us still

O God! Accept me 

in Thy paradise of holiness

Let me be nothing

Let me see

Only Thee

Let me be

Alone with Thee

Only Turn

Where Do You Go

Let Me Be Nothing

 If you are not able to fly

Just turn

If you are not able to climb

Just turn

If you are not able to swim

Just turn

Turn unto Him and you will swim

And climb and fly

Not where you wish to go

Where He wishes you to be

Not by your power

By His

He will take you to places

Beyond imagination

Beyond description

Beyond understanding

You could never imagine

The good He has destined for you

The good He has placed within you

The good He showers upon you

Only turn

And you will know

O Inmost Being

Where Do You Go

Where Do You Go

O inmost being! Speak to my pen

Let it move on the pages before it

Let rivers flow and stars shine

Throughout the night

Giving light

To quicken mankind

Let it tell what it has been told

Let the mysteries come out

Let it not conceal secrets

Nor betray doubt

Let it tell of the Glory

Which brought us here

That wondrous story

So very near

Let it show the pathway

That we may return

To the home

For which we all yearn

Where Do You Go

Where Do You Go

Where Do You Go

 Where do you go when 

you lie yourself down

At the end of every day?

Where do you go when 

the lights are out

And your will has been taken away?

Accept a will much greater than yours

Let that will accept you

You will go where the righteous go

See what the angels do

Where Will I Go

Wonderment Is ...

Where Will I Go

 Where will I go

In the middle of the night?

When I have abandoned

My ordinary sight

Where will He lead me

With my hand in His own?

What will I learn?

What will I be shown?

What will I know

That I don’t know now?

Will it be why?

Will it be how?

Wonderment

Wonderment Is ...

Where Will I Go

When on the inner seas you are tossed

Follow His Will until yours is lost

Many a sailor is lost at sea

Believing the ocean was made by he

The soul is deep the heart is vast

Containing all from first to last

It was created to be a sign

It is not yours it is not mine

When you are finally lost at sea

Nothing of you can be found

You will be safely in His hands

You will be homeward bound

The soul is a trust

Not belonging to you

It will be His

Whatever you do

Wonderment Is ...

Wonderment Is ...

Wonderment Is ...

 Wonderment is the place where we stop being afraid to speak because we are not afraid of heartbreak anymore.
