Take,
take away, come take away
and
hide away the pain, the dark, the fear;
and
leave, leave in its place, here in this place,
this
place that is my heart, my soul, my song,
instead
leave love.
Make
of my hand a quill, to spill
so
many words upon the page,
to
praise Thee and petition Thee,
to
flow and grow
as
yet I age.
Make
of my mouth a song, to sing
so
many sounds into the air
to
hail Thee and to hasten Thee,
to
rise and fall,
for
Thou art all, and Thou art near.
Make
of my heart a reed, to bring
a
little of Thy light, to shine
that
others in the dark may find
all
that they need is near,
all
that they need to praise and to petition Thee,
to
hail and fail and hasten Thee,
to
flow and grow, to rise and fall
toward
the All that art the Thou and I.
