"Life in death and love through pain / To walk fearless on the sky / As once Peter on the sea / Once-cocooned to rise again / Give me wings and breathe on me"
Totus Tuus Domine
for God and for Chanti
Prodigal lost far away Would I could come home again Lovelorn wandered far astray I would lose this searching soul At the breast of God today Incomplete to be found whole Take this ache and break this pain Totus tuus Domine
Sold by self to slavery Hope has flickered strength has gone Here where darkness covers me Light of light break through with dawn Liberator make me free Let me find my purpose there At your breast as once young John Found to share it everywhere
Hope and strength bring me to be Overshadowed by the love Of your rising Son to see Bridged beneath beyond above Past the life and death of man Arching to eternity Spun the spectrum in a span Raise the rainbow over me
Lift me over hoist me high Life in death and love through pain To walk fearless on the sky As once Peter on the sea Once-cocooned to rise again Give me wings and breathe on me I would be a butterfly In nomine Domini
Love thought lost and gone away Rediscovered in the light Of a thousand suns today Overwhelm this jealous night Take me father come what may Spirit breathe me to the bright Promise of your rising day Totus tuus Domine
Grand write and tribute to God and to Chanti. I like these lines...
(Lift me over hoist me high
Life in death and love through pain
To walk fearless on the sky
As once Peter on the sea
Once-cocooned to rise again
Give me wings and breathe on me
I would be a butterfly
In nomine Domini)
Thanks for sharing this...right in time for Easter.

This is another masterpiece that you have completed Steve.
It unites spiritual wisdom from the East and West to help readers experience Christ consciousness in the here and now. Combining the Oneness teachings of India with a fresh look at the New Testament.
