about

I wrote this song on pilgrimage through India. Most of the heart of it came at the foot of Mount Arunachala. I had been cleaned out of all that I thought I knew. Sometimes I listen to this track now, and wonder if the prayer it holds was too much of a risk, and then something inside surrenders again and trusts the let go, the grace.

lyrics

Absolve me and dissolve me
Let nothing but Self remain
Let Spirit weave the lila
Of happiness and of pain

And bring to me devotion
Surrender me to grace
No matter what the pathway
Not matter what the faith

Remind me that I’m not me
Tho' celebrate the same
The stories and the wanderings
Of one who has no name

And bring to me devotion
Surrender me to grace
No matter what the pathway
No matter what the place

Bring light to clear the mindways
And tears to melt the shame
And touch to salve the body
Sweet vessel for the game

And bring to me devotion
Surrender me to grace
No matter what the sacrifice
No matter what the face

Let judgement be behind me
Compassion lead the way
But I’ll always shout for freedom
And justice as I pray

And bring to me devotion
Surrender me to grace
No matter what the let go
No matter what the pace

I ask that love surround us
That it breathe our every breath
That all that isn’t boundless
Be called to the arms of death

And bring to me devotion
Surrender me to grace
No matter what the pathway
No matter what the place

I ask that love surround us
That it breathe our every breath
That all that isn't boundless
Be called to the arms of death now
