Offering, offering

I’m on my knees and offering

This is not an act of solidarity

Offering, offering

The life I live I’m offering

This is just and act of a seeking devotee

———

Hail you ineffable soul

Your spirit inexpressible

Is woven through all of life love and wildness

Hail you please teach and guide

Please teach me what lies inside

What’s woven through all of justice and kindness

———

Offering, offering

I’m on my knees and offering

This is not an act of solidarity

Offering, offering

The life I live I’m offering

This is just and act of a seeking devotee

———

Thus may I experience

The meaning of true reverence

May all of what I live be for your glory

Thus may I face the harm

May winter not find me warm

May all I see be the secret great story

———

Offering, offering

I’m on my knees and offering

This is not an act of solidarity

Offering, offering

The life I live I’m offering

This is just and act of a seeking devotee

———

When I am in front of you I’m on my knees

Each time you breathe it’s like the wind through the trees

Words you say wash over me like the rainstorm

They all seep into me and make me transform

When you transform me I am reborn anew

I look to the sky I’m amazed by your blue

I see you in all of this world that is sacred

You spark the love I have and spark my hatred

You form all the glory that I hope to find

May you inspire all the thoughts in my mind

May you inspire the struggles I go through

May I never seek something that is not you

———
