Love Song

Music by: Martin - Spirit Am I

My Lord, my Love, my Life, I live in you.
There is no life apart from what you are.
I breathe your words, I rest upon your arms.
My sight is hallowed by your single star.

I do not always recognize your face,
Or hear your Voice. I do not always see
The strangers whom you send are messengers
You choose to bring your holy Word to me.

You are the stranger then. And I am dead
To holy things that Heaven’s light shines through.
The world I see is enemy to me
When I forget my lovely Love is you.

Forgetting you is to forget myself,
Why I have come and where it is I go.
My Lord, my Love, my Life, let me forget
All things except the loveliness you know.

- Helen Schucman January 8, 1977
