I am that ocean now in foam and tide; I am that sun, but now in rays abide. I move and burn, and then reverse my course; I shine and glow and then grow low and hide.
I am that sea now gathered in a tear. I am that universe now centered here. I am that book of destiny which seems To form a lonely dot of hope and fear.
I am a rose that grows on hills of love I am a soul that learns the drills of love. I am a heart in agony and joy. From fire and chills and woes and thrills of love.
What if a sword should rob me of my sight, What if a wind? should send my soul to flight, What if a nail were driven through my hands, I still would feel thy presence and thy light.
If I am trapped in flesh and lust - I'm thine And though I doubt your ways, or trust - I'm thine. Whether to Christ I cling or Mazda's Wing* Behind these veils of dreams and dust - I'm thine.
Whether I cling, whether I part- you know. Whether I break or keep my heart - you know. Whether I crown my head or drown my eyes, You know my goal from end to start - you know.
I find my ill in you, my cure in you. I part from you and then endure in you. If knives would cut my tissues each from each, My naked soul is ever secure in you.
