When Mercy comes to me, as soft as the sky And faith like a strong arm around me lies
And life is beginning, like springtime in flower My soul is awakened, with truth to astound me
An emptiness for You to fill My soul a cavern for Your sea
And You are the flowering bough of creation From You cascades music, like a million stars
And here in the purest light of the heavens Mysteries revealing, in songs that surround me
An emptiness for You to fill My soul a cavern for Your sea
