From the recording Nine Prayers of the Soul

Lyrics

“Prayer of the One: I Find My Delight”
©️2019, Drexel Rayford, Vagrants Chapel Music, BMI

The tides flow in, the tides flow out
They’ve been dancing this rhythm unceasing
The planets and stars in their courses above
Their movement is a part of my being

I can see it, I can see it, The things that are right.
I can see it, I can see it, the light in the night.
I can see it, I can see it, the beacon that’s bright
And I dance and I sing and I find my delight
In you.

But sometimes it gets heavy ‘cause others won’t see
The patterns and the plans that are power.
Like a modern day Moses ignored on his hill
I end up smashing the tablets to powder.

I can see it, I can see it, The things that are right.
I can see it, I can see it, the light in the night.
I can see it, I can see it, the beacon that’s bright
And I dance and I sing and I find my delight
In you.

Ah my rage tends to simmer and bubble within
When ignorance becomes an infection.
Sometimes I feel caught by these standards I’ve set
What can free me from this trap of perfection?
Won’t you silence the voices that cry from within
And bring me the joy of the dance?!

The tides flow in, the tides flow out
They’ve been dancing this rhythm unceasing
The planets and stars in their courses above
Their movement is a part of my being

I can see it, I can see it, The things that are right.
I can see it, I can see it, the light in the night.
I can see it, I can see it, the beacon that’s bright
And I dance and I sing and I find my delight
In you.
