These bones, my frame, won’t hold in place

They’d leave and part ways

If I was without you

This earth, my home, would be alone

There’d be no Moon to share the galaxy

If it was without you

My God, I am not, but you are

What was it like when you prayed

Did the rivers calm when the raging seas obeyed?

What was it like when you slept

Did the rocks come close and the trees lean in

And did the air rejoice just to be your breath?

My God, I am not, but you are

When your servant tried to ask your name

But a million words could not contain

And the meaning could not be expressed

For the weight would be too much to take

So you cradled him, like you cradle me and whispered

I am

Oh my God! I am not, but you are
