Let my joy in glory hide

Let my joy in glory hide
Beneath the sunsets of Your sky
'Til it find me in Your arms amid Your heartbeats,
Let my air flee from my chest
And leave no slumber, sigh, nor rest
'Til all I breathe is heaven's golden breath.

Or bring sweet pain its dwelling here;
If You hold glory in my tears
Then let my heart be torn from pride
And gladly for Your glory die.

And sing of love, love come down
The love my heart wears as a crown.
To sing of Love with all I am
Unending flow my soul demands.

Let earthly love be cast below
To where no seed can sprout or grow
Unless Your rain brings sunshine to its field.
And knowledge yield a kingdom's fool
With care to only be Thy tool
A sword, but yet a heart that You should wield

And all my wants or needs as be
Should wither, fall, for breath in Thee.
And leave my winged heart to fly
For in Your heart I find and love the "why?".

And sing of love, love come down
The love my heart wears as a crown.
To sing of Love with all I am
Unending flow my soul demands.
