Tremble

Tremble

 

On our faces- lost in wonder

We are undone andÝ torn asunder

Now we tremble- now we gaze

In your presence-we are amazed

 

Shaken in our inward parts

Devastated in our hearts

Dare we stay here in this place

Yes, we dare to stand by grace.

 

When we bow down, when we fall

On our knees to praise and call

On the name above all names

We will never be the same.

 

Place upon our lips your coals

Be the purging of our souls

You will sear and purify

Dying we live, living we die.

 

In the rending of our veil

Comprehending we prevail

All our hopes are placed above

In the light of Holy love.

 

Holy justice, holy wrath

Holy light to light the path

Holy mercy builds this holy place

We trust wholly in your grace.
