One God, the Almighty, has spoken All and
summoned the world from the rising of the sun
to its setting. One God shines out from
Zion, a city perfect in beauty. All Our God

One Before you, God, runs a consuming fire,
and a mighty tempest rages about you. All You
call on the heavens above, and on the earth
below, to witness the judgement of your
people One 'Gather my people before me, the
people who made covenant with me by
sacrifice.' All The heavens proclaim your
justice, for you yourself are judge.
The mighty one, God the Sovereign, speaks and
summons the earth.

1 In the quiet curve of evening, in the sinking
of the days, in the silky void of darkness, you
are there. In the lapses of my breathing, in
the space between my ways, in the crater carved
by sadness, you are there. You are there, you
are there, you are there.
/verse 2

VU278
2 In the rests between the phrases, in the
cracks between the stars, in the gaps between
the meaning, you are there. In the melting
down of endings, in the cooling of the sun, in
the solstice of the winter, you are there. You
are there, you are there, you are there.
/verse 3

3 In the mystery of my hungers, in the silence
of my rooms, in the cloud of my unknowing, you
are there. In the empty cave of grieving, in
the desert of my dreams, in the tunnel of my
sorrow, you are there. You are there, you are
there, you are there.
