Sorrow and sadness,
                          Grace and beauty,
                         Has all come together
                           To make us one.

                            We are one,
                           Forgotten never.
                            We are one,
                           Forgiven forever.

                          Faith holds me true,
                            True to you.
                             As I grow
                         I know I am one in you.

                          I have become me,
                          I ask of you please
                          Show me your word.
                            Let me see.

                          I hear you near me,
                          Please speak again.
                           I barely see you,
                          Move closer please.

                          Show me your word,
                          And I shall see you.
                           Let me tell you,
                        I feel your love is at hand.

                          And I will see you.
                         Tell me you forgive me,
                          And I will feel free.
 

  Enlightened by Your Grace

                        Enlightened by Your Grace,
                       You showed me how to love.

                        You taught me to be open
                        And accept with open arms

                        Your heart as pure as Gold
                      Showed me how to love so freely

                       Your words flowed like a river
                        Teaching me to live by faith

                      Your touch as delicate as a cloud
                        Guided me on my journey

                        Enlightened by your Grace
                        You gave me the gift of life.
 

Answered

                     Whispering like a calm gentle breeze,
                        I hear you speak so softly,
                             So gently,
                          So clearly my name.

                          Your voice I hear,
                           But no one else.
                           For you speak
                           Only for my ears.

                         How often I have waited
                          To hear those words
                          Each night I wonder
                         Does he ever hear me?

                             Each idea
                             Each thought
                            Each question
                            Each prayer

                           You hear them
                            Don't you?
                           I can see that
                              Now.

                          I have long waited
                           For this moment
                           Year after year
                      Wondering if you ever heard me.

                            Now I know,
                            Now I know.
