Love Binds All--Hate Destroys
by michael cahill
The Nature of Man The Nature of God
trembling, I ponder lights in the sky those stars are for the wonder of your eye
how can they not fall without a hand to hold holding them aloft before you, bold
earth seems so safe, yet I seek their realm else you would never seek a higher helm
night finds me alone with my mind night is when truth you should find
all that I seek is concealed all shadows have truth there revealed
tell me, is there anyone out there trust without facts, boldly dare
underneath all of this I feel fear unleash faith within, love is near
regard for me never seems nigh regard for you comes from on high
even now my grave doubt paralyzes eliminate doubt and hope rises
only here, only now seems to matter only what lies inside climbs the ladder
freedom’s myth is my bitter bane fly in freedom, seek truth’s full refrain
must this life have no meaning at all Give the voice deep within ear to call
alone, once again, I just don’t feel whole only you hold the fate of your soul
nothing left but to bow down and pray delight! if you seek, you will find me this day
