will  it  always  be  thus  that

i am as an empty vessel

standing

waiting silent to receive

being filled to overflowing

and

i pour me out completely unto emptiness again

cycle after cycle unto emptiness again

empty vessel

standing

waiting silent to receive

and i hear it rushing mighty like a wind

and i feel it like a fire rushing through me once again

the power and the presence and

i am filled to overflowing

and i pour me out completely

unto emptiness

again

cycle after cycle unto emptiness again

empty vessel

standing

waiting silent to receive
