Words & Music by Keith Kitchen (copyright 2009)
Based on a poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
lyrics
Two hours ‘til morning
Sleep still eludes me
I turn to watch her dream
And wait for her to rise
And catch a fleeting glimpse of death and resurrection
playing out before my eyes.
Morning comes softly
Wrapped in a raincloud
Flooding the fields and
Filling the fruit on the vine
Each in its own time
Slow and tedious the earth
is transforming water into wine.
And where once I saw common, all is holy
Suddenly I can’t look at anything the same
From where I sit, I see every common bush
Bursting into flame.
So I pause to ponder
the gifts of His splendor
Wounds healed and earthquakes
Split seas and dead raised
and perhaps We’ve been getting it all wrong
Seems to me that we’ve been standing on His presence
Right here all along.
