St. Augustine + a little of myself

Grant me Lord to know and understand
Speak to my soul and tell me “I am your salvation”
Speak to me so I may hear
Be opened eyes; ephphatha ears

Chorus:
You called, you shouted and you shattered all my deafness
You shone with dazzling light and dispelled all my blindness
You are fragrant, I breathed in deeply and now
I am breathless with longing for you

Awake O Sleeper rise up from the dead
And Christ will shine you
Humbly crawl into his loving arms, the veil has been removed
I tasted you and now I hunger lord, and thirst for more of you
You’ve touched my heart and now I burn with desire

bridge:
You are great and highly to be praised
(Great is your power and your wisdom is immeasurable)
