Elijah
Imaginary
Galactic bodies
Explosive bursts of light
Created in me
Perceived reality
Against a still small voice
-From these mysteries alone
-The sovereign silent tone
-Draws me near
-I will trust in You alone
-Hope in You alone
-Believe in You alone
-I will walk with You alone
-Speak with You alone
-Reside in You alone
-I'll seek Your mysteries alone
-Your sufferings alone
-Then disappear
