I Am Said I (Huruma)

1. Eli Eyes of soul Gone dim Way not Seen Ears of heart Gone deaf Word not Heard Too old and young Too far gone The wrong way To turn back Now 2. Esau We trade Our birthright Salvation sold for Satisfaction Eternal for transient Fulfillment Cursing ourselves Into unblessedness For all time We have no idea Of the deception Into which we have bought 3. Samuel Shiloh’s silent Sanctuary Shelters The sleeping Boy Tabula rasa Unhabited No stuck rut To stifle Dreams Prophecy finds Its way With him Double edged Speak Lord Listening Alert the dawn Draw back The curtains Light breaks Through +++ Eli - 1 Samuel 2:12 - 3:2 Esau - Genesis 25:29-34 Samuel - 1 Samuel 3

Draw back the curtains Roll up the blinds Unveil the day Intense red sky Fading to grey-pink clouds Patches of blue Before the breaking through Moon gives way to sun Mary gives way to Jesus Mother to son "Do whatever He tells you!" There will be wine today A miracle Transfiguration His Word is Light In stained glass flooding My face, a child's painting Colouring my soul awake My senses, my thoughts, my heart.

I went out in search of a Word  To a place where no speech No voice is heard Only the sound of birds in the trees Wind in the pines A breeze brushing the clear  Surface of a pond.  And high on a hill above it all Unsheltered in the bitter wind  I could see and think  For miles and years....

Open my eyes To see Your Face That Your Light alone May shine in me Open my ears To hear Your Voice That Your Word alone May be my guide Open my mouth And breathe in me That Your Name alone May be on my lips Open my heart And fill my soul That Your Love alone My live in me.
