11. Beams

Heaven’s beams I sometimes catch
Light through a church window
For a moment it is clear
I have a place to go to

It’s safer with no love to know
Resting quiet and lonely
Free from friends and untied ends
To need no-one to need me
You took me up and turned me out
Made me travel lightly
Lord it’s grey along the way
There is no other for me

It’s wiser with no dreams at all
Staying hushed and homely
Deep in sleep so mild and meek
No-one please awake me
You called me out and made me rise
Set me on a journey
God knows where I have to bear
There is no other for me

Yours is the power and the glory
Remember me, remember me
Lord when you come to your glory
Remember me, remember me
