| Up on Sinai |
|
And I have answered His call Been His prophet and been His slave His will has been my will And my mouth a holy tabernacle For His words Upon the mountain top Beyond the thunder and lightning Above the flames and smoke God speaks to me in a low whisper Carried on the slightest breeze His voice is soft like the Sound of waves on the Nile at night And His words hushed like the flutter Of dove's wings and as quiet as raindrops Striking the surface of the sea And I am brought high on Sinai Upon the mountain top To hear the Lord speak With the low notes of music From a lute and lyre by Doug Tanoury This poem is © Copyright 2001 |
