lyrics

If I climb up to the heavens
If I make my bed in the grave
If I take the wings of the morning
Till I reach the end of the seas
If I cry out, “surely the darkness shall suffocate me”
You show me the night is bright as the day

When I fall and when I’m rising
You search out all of my ways
All my thoughts you know completely
All the words my tongue tries to say
You press in before and behind me
Oh, where can I go to hide from your face?

In the womb you knit me together
You wove my frame in the depths of the earth
All my tunes form part of your music
In your book are writ all of my days
I grasp for your thoughts, but they’re more than the deserts’ sand
And when I come to the end, you’re still with me

He comes from a long line of priests whose fiery performances characterise his own style. ... more
