Man, just a grain of sand on an island |
|
In a sea of stars |
|
I heard the call to come home |
|
And sweetly, yet urgent as |
|
A mother calls to her wayward son |
|
One who in darkness lingers |
|
Lacking faith I stood rooted |
|
As the darkness wrapped me round she sang |
|
If the stars should then appear |
|
One night in a thousand years |
|
How would man believe and adore |
|
If the light of the city of God was shown there |
|
Would they believe? |
|
If the stars should then appear |
|
One night in a thousand years |
|
This recurring theme beckoned |
|
A song snatched in fragments I heard |
|
Uplifted into infinite space |
|
All as one |
|
The one is all, yes the one, the one is all |
|
On the distant line of the horizon man beholds |
|
Light of his heart as he looks to the sky |
|
He need not question how or why |
|
The perpetual presence of the Higher Mind |
|
In His life, the sublime and the power divine |
|
I watched the morning star burning brightly |
|
I could sense its passion reflected there |
|
In the fire of your eyes |
|
If the stars should then appear |
|
One night in a thousand years |
|
How would man believe and adore |
|
If the light of the city of God was shown there |
|
Would they believe? |
|
If the stars should then appear |
|
One night in a thousand years |
|
The scope of imagination |
|
Searching the dark for a way |
|
Just look to the multitude overhead |
|
All point to the one |
|
The one is all |
|
The power divine |
|
Light of the higher mind |
|
Love, the power divine |
|
Light of the higher mind |
|
Love, the power divine |
|
Yet man still doubts his destiny with God |
