Hover

1.
in the beginning
no day and no night
no green earth nor heavens
nor stars set alight

in the beginning
an epic still to write
an earth cloaked in darkness
waiting for light

then You moved over the face of the deep
and created a garden of peace

ch.
oh, You hover over the formless and still
oh, You speak into silence: the emptiness fills
oh, You breathe into being a soul with free will
oh, Your work was complete, yet You walk with us still

2.
watchmaker absent?
a vagabond race
ruins of Eden
fallen from grace

why can’t we hear You?
where can You be?
when will You heal us?
how long ‘til we see

You move over the face of the deep
re-creating a garden of peace

br.
when we flee
You pursue us
we destroy
You make whole
should we fall
You restore us
our dismay
Your control
