Burn My Eyes

14 Jul 2006

Burn my eyes with a holy fire let me see all things anew
Burn my eyes with a holy fire let me learn to love the truth
Though I walk through storms and shadows I shall not be moved
Burn my eyes with a holy fire let me see all things renewed

Wash my hands with holy water let them be at work always
Wash my hands with holy water let them never long to stray
To my poor, my friends, my neighbors, enemies extend
Wash my hands with holy water let their work be yours always

Set my feet on paths of glory let them walk on holy ground
Set my feet on paths of glory let them be upward bound
Let them take me to the place where all will be revealed
Set my feet on paths of glory let this all be holy ground

Burn my tongue with coals of fire let me speak of distant shores
Burn my tongue with coals of fire let my words always be yours
In the wideness of your presence learn to keep my peace
Burn my tongue with coals of fire bring me safely ashore

Break my heart with holy wisdom let me learn to love again
Break my heart with holy wisdom let me on your strength depend
And the power past all knowing clothed in sacrifice
Break my heart with holy wisdom let me long for you again
