Iona - Songs Of Ascent (part 1) Lyrics

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
(Three times)
