Telling Stories
I've been having dreams and visions
In them you are always standing
Right bseide me
I reach out for your hand
To see your arms extending
outstretched towards me


For you I don the veil
By your light
Others pale by comparison
I place my faith in love
My fate in this communication


I've been having dreams and visions
In them you are always standing
Right beside me
I reach out for your hand
To see your arms extending
Outstretched towards me


To you I give my pledge
I honor all that's good
In this life we're living
To think not only of myself
But of the greater union


Can I get a witness
There is salvation and rapture for the lonely
Can I get a witness
Bless this day sacred and holy
Sacred and Holy


I've been having dreams and visions
In them you are always standing
Right beside me
I reach out for your hand
To see your arms extending
Outstretched towards me


With you I am revealed
All my shame all my faults and virtues
Behold body mind and spirit
Heart and soul devoted all to you


Can I get a witness
Bless this day sacred and holy
Sacred and Holy
