To me I die as I cry as I pray
No more illusions
No more idols
My desires are passing away
My selfish ambitions no more
May they not become me
May they not run me
For a love I have oft sought
I have long forgot
While I have stayed
In this desert land
Dreaming dillusions of oases
Long ago where no more remain
Those days are gone
We grow we move on
Though the road ahead
Seems uncertain
This truth is certain
No more hiding
No more idlying
In my ideals
That which pain
Hath proved can
Also heal
My doubts
Repeal my
Hopes
For only one can fill
Only one hath brought
Me all this way
Though oft have I
Sought to stray
No doubt
No depth of
Deceit can
Remove your love
From me
Your love alone
Hath saved me
So cling I to your
Faithful embrace
Grace upon grace
Tis enough to know
You are here
Through all doubt
And fear
Your love alone
Conquers all
Till death becomes me
And life is full found
Set free
Thy joy enough
Thy peace to calm
My every storm
That come
