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
