Singing the Living Tradition ‎#4

4. I Brought My Spirit to the Sea

1 I brought my spirit to the sea;
I stood upon the shore.
I gazed upon infinity,
I heard the waters roar.

2 And then there came a sense of peace,
some whisper calmed my soul.
Some ancient ministry of stars
had made my spirit whole.

3 I brought my spirit to the trees
that loomed against the sky.
I touched each wand’ring careless breeze
to know if God was nigh.

4 And then I felt an inner flame that
fiercely burned my tears.
Upright, I rose from bended knee
to meet the asking years.
