A Voice in the Wilderness

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness. -- William O. Douglas

If It Be Your Will - Leonard Cohen



If it be your will
that I speak no more
-
and my voice be still
,
as it was before.

I will speak no more
.
I shall abide until

I am spoken for

if it be your will
.

If it be your will

that a voice be true

from this broken hill

I will sing to you
.
From this broken hill

all your praises they shall ring
.
If it be your will

to let me sing.

From this broken hill

all your praises they shall ring
.
If it be your will

to let me sing.


If it be your will
.
If there is a choice

let the rivers fill,
let the hills rejoice
.
Let your mercy spill

on all these burning hearts in hell
.
If it be your will

to make us well
.

And draw us near

and bind us tight.

All your children here

in their rags of light
-
in our rags of light -

all dressed to kill
.
And end this night

if it be your will
.

If it be your will.
