261


Sweet my soul in soaring flight
Hidden in your word of life

Stay mountain, stay cloud
This word I must sing out aloud

Pause a moment wish that star
For it's shinning in realms afar

All of me reaching out to thee
Echos returning your love for me

Alleluia Alleluia
Alleluia

    Alleluia Alleluia, Amen Gillena.

    This could be a praise hymn ;-)

    a beautiful choice of word, and exploration of it
    all of me reaching out to you...that is what i feel
    when i sing it.

    A beautiful word, in music and meaning. Brave of you to take it on, after Cohen has made it so much his own – and you in turn have, beautifully, made it yours.
