These bones, my frame, won’t hold in place
They’d leave and part ways
If I was without you

This earth, my home, would be alone
There’d be no Moon to share the galaxy
If it was without you

My God, I am not, but you are

What was it like when you prayed
Did the rivers calm when the raging seas obeyed?
What was it like when you slept
Did the rocks come close and the trees lean in
And did the air rejoice just to be your breath?

My God, I am not, but you are

When your servant tried to ask your name
But a million words could not contain
And the meaning could not be expressed
For the weight would be too much to take

So you cradled him, like you cradle me and whispered

I am
Oh my God! I am not, but you are
