Lion of Rock

[Verse 1] I climbed up a lion of rock There overlooking the swirls of the world All the shifting of sands that I saw Conflicting energy giving and taking The fluid grace of it all Billowing shadows of clouds in the sand While the waves lay down all stretched and taught Folding and wrinkling back to the source of it all Every breath is give and take [Verse 2] I love you oh gentlest of ways Who ripens us as we wrestle with you The great homesickness we cannot shake You, the great forest surrounding us now In silence it's you that we sing Billowing shadows of Heaven on earth As we lay down our lives stretched and taught Folding and wrinkling back to the source of it all Every breath is give and take [Verse 3] I see it all like a hymn The constant refrain of the echo and change And all is beautiful There is no giving without any taking There's no love without any loss Everything everyone building and breaking Oh I see the grace of it all All is beautiful [Outro] And suddenly everything came into focus As I saw her taking a walk The tiniest speck, just a grain in the wind But oh how much great in the small The tiniest body containing the glory of heaven and angels and God I climbed down the rock and I ran to the sand and my love
