when all my years are gone
and i'm drained of every song
i'll wait and there i'll see
how rich your love will be

and your words sink in the more i live by my own
then my pride knocks me out
but when i'm down
you still fight for me

in silence i heard 
my Father's voice
and learned to find my own
your breath inspired mine
what else could my heart desire

solace

something old

‘El Qanna’ describes a righteous God as jealous; drawing us to himself not by envy or coercion, but by sacrifice.


You are a jealous God 

You searched me out 
in the cool of the day
To clothe me,
to address my fate

You do not envy
Your love for me is pure
Your son my return 
to the garden 

El Qanna,
El Qanna
