sing out your name || 20081130


when earth's achievements all crumble
and her sun finally dies
when your love alone is all that remains
may my voice be the chorus that sings out your name

And your love sustain me
to sing out your name
and your breath sustain me
to sing out your name
your love the power
to sing out your name
and i hear your whisper
as i sing out your name

when darkness surrounds me
or light fills my way
turn my face to the sky and my hope to your love
hear the stars as they burn to shimmer your fame

creation is longing
and yearning to hear
forever one love forever one thing
the universe clamors for one single aim

to sing out your name
to sing out your name

from the letters of my heart
where your name is alive
to the palms of your hands
where my name has been scribed

how more can i love you
how much more can i bear
my light is your eyes
and my hope is all wonder as i sing out your name

I can sing no more
my voice hangs in my throat
your name floats on my lips
but my voice is a whisper as i breathe your name

simply a whisper
for there is no end
all crowns down, all worship, to whisper your name
to my king all honor as i sing your name
