GRACE

On the face of many waters

God moves.

In the depth of many waters

God moves.

Grace is the stillness of that moving,

Grace is the stillness of the moving of the waters of my heart.

Deep, deep and all,

The waters of my heart are moved in God

And a great peace descends and rises now.

There shall again be stillness of the moving,

There shall again be stillness deep and all.

Into the stillness of the moving of the deep

A sound of silence raptures me,

The sound of silence of the moving God.

There shall again be crystal in my soul.

There shall again be singing of the crystal.

There shall again be starlight

In the still waters of my soul.
