Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter
I Will Be With You Always
Once I was as ugly as a harpy-bitten tree
And every voice within me spoke, "you will be never be free"
Once I was as ugly as a harpy-bitten tree
But today I am as perfect as a single blade of grass
Because I am free
In the night I was beset with demons
I know all their names but cannot speak them
Their grinning teeth split the darkness and I said
"I know your name, take your teeth out of me
Return my body to me, release me, release mе, release mе
Release me, release me"
My tears soaked my bed
The blood of many wounds soaked my bed
The sweat of many fears soaked my bed
And I begged, "release me, release me, release me"
And sinner-friend, I heard that voice sweet as a bright bell
It spoke to me and said, sweet as a bright bell
"I will always be with you, I will be with you always"
And I spat
"Who are you? Some demon? Do I know your name?"
And the voice replied
"I am the one heralded by seven trumpets, have you not heard?
I claim no thing and no thing can claim me
Letras de cancionesBut I am yours, and you are mine, for this hour, you are free"
And I said, "Demon, release me"
"I cannot release you for you are already free
I made you as perfect as a single blade of grass
Have you not seen?"
And the voice spoke, sweet as a bright bell
"I will always be with you, I will be with you always"
And so I sit at the table of God
And my garment is woven from the stars
And the leaves that fend from the trees, that unfurl into heaven
In my hair are lilies, and in my throat are pearls
And when I walk the streets of gold with naked feet
All this was promised and came to be
And so, sinner-friend, lay your burdens down
The night is not yours alone to carry
Take my hand, for in the darkness you
And I will speak unto you what was spoke unto me
"I will always be with you, I will be with you always"
"I will always be with you, I will be with you always"
