6:55 min / track 14 / CD: Earth Air Fire Water
Be still . . . my soul . . .
for we shall be set free
from pain and death.
I give my anguished body unto you . . .
In life and breath.
Chorus:
I hear the church bells chime
ringing out the Divine.
I feel the church bells chime
echoes of the Divine . . .
Presence . . .
|
Angels guard my bed, when the reaper comes to call. Hold me safe and close. Oh my body must not fall into darkness . . . into darkness . . . Chorus. I'll leave behind my loved ones, oh so dear, with suffering hearts. Yet peace and freedom beckon at my door. 'Twill pierce my heart. Chorus. Carry me through death On your feathers soft and white. Through the darkness deep I see glimmerings of the light of tomorrow . . . of tomorrow . . . Chorus. "Come unto me, all ye who are weak and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." |
