about

This is a very personal song that I wrote when I was contemplating becoming a renunciate (a monk), which I did.

lyrics

You are the only one , beyond time, beyond rhyme or reason
You are the greatest one , beyond space, beyond all lands and seasons
How can I sing to You my Lord when You are sound itself?
For how in song are You described without a sound?
How can I love You Lord, when You are love itself?
How can I worship You my master.
You are the only One, beyond time, beyond rhyme or reason
You are the Perfect One beyond mind, beyond all manifestation
What can I do for You My Lord, to express my love for You
For how in song are You described without a sound?
I know just what I 'll do now that I feel Your love abound
I'll give my life into Your service.
I'll uproot mountains that have dared to disobey Your will
I'll bring them bound before You just to show You love them still
I'll change the world the way You want, I'll take Your message far and wide
And when I'm done if You so wish I will return to Your side.
For You're the only one I love, and I won"t part from You
Not if a sea of evil standeth in my way.
For You're the only one I know, I see Your face in all faces,
And all the places that I go I see that You've been there before
You are my only love my Lord, and if I'm crying in my sleep
You say," My child, do not weep, for I am Yours' forevermore."
