My tears have been my only food
Whilst seeking to conquer this sorry mood
My prayers have filled the incense bowl
As I chased those shadows across my soul
Deep into the recesses of my mind
Treasures or trials ¬ what will I find?
An angel shows me the River of Life
But memories show the streams of strife
Deep’s calling deep in crystal flow
Roaring waterfall ¬ your voice I know
Rushing waters, waves of love
Pouring tenderness from above
Breakers come, but gentle heart
Yet will I praise you! Be never apart
Anchor my soul to the highest peaks
Firm and secure through the sour, the sweet
My emotions are rocking into the swell
Resting on gentleness, longing to dwell
Deep in your goodness, under your wings
Softly, sweetly, my soul now sings
My song of praise breathes from within
Calling, yearning ¬ All for Him
Nearer, closer ¬ the veil is thin
Lift it Lord, let the healing begin.
