Liturgy

For years I've tried to speak

But words always fail and my voice never seems

To say what I mean to about you

As hard as I've tried to write

To shuffle the notes and to structure the lines

They're never as lovely as they should be

For all of my singing, I've still never sung

A melody worthy or perfect enough

For you

I want to sing that for you

But there's an anthem that wells up within

It echoes your heart till I'm bursting with it

Perfectly still and completely silent

Your voice flows like music

Overwhelmed, speechless

I lose my breath then

And how do I sing this?

For all of my singing, I've barely begun

To tell of your beauty to fathom your love

And I'll fail to attain it but I'll never give up.

Cause your deep calls to deep, and rings out to me, and I'm just singing along.

No single song could say it all

I used to think that I was writing these songs for you

But I see the truth

You fill my soul till I overflow

And pour it all back out to you
