What You Give Me (copyright 1988 Laura Lingren)

To Walk in your forest,
To graze in your pastures,
To fly in your starry black night
Such is the garden, Such the devotion
Such is the fountain of love in my heart

To flow in your river,
To gaze at your colours,
To sway in your treetops so high
Such is the garden, Such the devotion
Such is the fountain of love in my heart

1st bridge
What you give me is a doorway to God, let us bathe in the Now
Never grasping at the days ahead
Just a patience of the heart in the pastures of truth
And love, trembling love.

To let out your kite string,
To feel your dark ocean,
to play in the breakers at dawn
Such is the garden, Such the devotion
Such is the fountain of love in my heart

To shatter on your hard floor,
To dance in your cobwebs,
To sing the song of our death
Such is the garden, Such the devotion
Such is the fountain of love in my heart

2nd bridge
You are teaching me songs that I never dreamed of.
Opening worlds that I never hoped for
I'm breathing my breath, I'm dying my death
Sing that the world doesn't end.

To read your sad story,
To bask in your glory,
To sit in the presence of god
Such is the garden, Such the devotion
Such is the fountain of love in my heart

To know beyond knowing
In the patience of being
Beyond thought, beyond wanting to know
Such is the garden, Such the devotion
Such is the fountain of love in my heart
