“you have taken my voice, no longer can I...”
~ for Rachel of Ireland, who asks and is granted endless words~
oh my lord, oh my lord, oh my lord,
you have taken my voice,
no longer can I thread these words
oh my lord, oh my lord, oh my lord,
you have taken my insight,
no longer can I hear my eyes visions
oh my lord, oh my lord, oh my lord,
you have taken my mobility,
no longer can I shake to music of sky
oh my lord, oh my lord, oh my lord,
you have taken my strength,
no longer can I bend knees in praise
oh my lord, oh my lord, oh my lord,
you have taken my taste,
no longer can I sing a greater part of me
these first words, my sacrifice of morning,
no more to follow, for I am speechless,
the eveningtide will find me bow-broken
you have taken my all that you have given,
tender it well to another, for we are temporary,
your gifts are everlasting, and together, we say
selah, amen.
