He whispered to me in his still soft voice
Whispers from eternity in my broken heart.
He directs my thoughts by the Holy Spirit
Conquering my mind to do His will.
He walked on the seas in the vision of my eyes
Placing his nailed scared hands upon my head,
I bow to him as if I am dead,
Praying in my heart in the voice of my mind.
O Christ my master you died to save us all!
In this sinful world where sinners rise and fall.
You came to my soul and gave me a call
To preach your eternal words to one and all.
Help my weak soul to comprehend
Thee Where I live in a world of misery.
Open my eyes to see you when I pray
For my sinful soul to live to see another day.
You captivate my heart for me to fall in love with you
To write profound philosophy to heal this world.
O Christ my master your Spirit lives in the voice of the wind,
The sea exists in the palm of your hands.
The earth stood still by the blink of your eyes
You are my beginning and ending
Living in my breath as my blessed savior.
I see you coming and going like the waves
In the seas Stealing my dreams in this world of vanity.
O steal me away O Lord in your mansion far above!
Guide my soul to Thee for me to fall in love.
