Dios
I feel God travel with
me,
when the sun sets and on the sea,
together we walk as it grows dark.
We are all together but walk like orphans.
when the sun sets and on the sea,
together we walk as it grows dark.
We are all together but walk like orphans.
But I feel God and he gives
color
to my life. He is kind and sad,
like those who attend the sick and dying;
He whispers like a lover in distress.
His heart must hurt for his creation.
to my life. He is kind and sad,
like those who attend the sick and dying;
He whispers like a lover in distress.
His heart must hurt for his creation.
Oh, my God, though I have
just come to you,
I love so much as it grows dark,
and in the balance within the heart,
I weigh and weep for frail Creation.
I love so much as it grows dark,
and in the balance within the heart,
I weigh and weep for frail Creation.
And you, what do you weep
for … you who love
with your immense and whirling heart?
I consecrate you, God, because you love so much;
because you never smile; because your heart
must ache as Time continues.
with your immense and whirling heart?
I consecrate you, God, because you love so much;
because you never smile; because your heart
must ache as Time continues.
