From
everything that distracts me from You,
From
everything that comes in my way
When
I want to run to You.
O
God, Another Night is passing away,
Another
Day is rising
Tell me that I have spent the Night well so I can be at peace,
Or that I have wasted it, so I can mourn for what is lost.
I swear that ever since the first day You brought me back to life,
The day You became my Friend,
I have not slept --
And even if You drive me from your door,
I swear again that we will never be separated.
Because You are alive in my heart.

And even if You drive me from your door,
I swear again that we will never be separated.
Because You are alive in my heart.
My
joy
My Hunger, My Shelter, My Friend, My Food for the journey
My journey's End, You are my breath, My hope,
My companion, My craving,
My abundant wealth.
Without You my Life, my Love
I would never have wandered across these endless countries.
You have poured out so much grace for me,
Done me so many favors, given me so many gifts
I look everywhere for Your love
Then suddenly I am filled with it.
O Captain of my Heart
Radiant Eye of Yearning in my breast,
I will never be free from You
As long as I live.
Be satisfied with me, Love,
And I am satisfied.
