God of Silence (1995) (Dedicated to Carmelite Friends)
[Verse 1: Sr. Bubbles Bandojo, rc]
The God of silence beckons me
To journey to my heart
Where He awaits
O Lord, I hear You calling tenderly
To You, I come to gaze
At the beauty of Your face
I cannot see
[Refrain 1: Sr. Bubbles Bandojo, rc]
To rest in Your embrace I cannot feel
To dwell in Your love, hurting but sweet
To be with You to glimpse eternity
[Segue]
[Refrain 2: Sr. Bubbles Bandojo, rc]
God of night, fount of all my delight
Show Your light
That my heart, like Yours, burn bright
[Verse 2: Tonet Santana]
Be still the torment of the night
Will not encumber you, if you believe
My child, this darkness isn't emptiness
For hеre, I mold your heart
Unto My image, painfully, you long to see
Thе self you yearn to be, but fear to know
The world from which you flee in Me find home
All these I give you, if you remain in Me
[Chorus: Tonet Santana and Sr. Bubbles Bandojo, rc]
I am ever here
My child, you need not fear
The dark will set you free
And bring your heart to Me
I am ever here (God of night)
My child, you need not fear (Fount of all my delight)
The dark will set you free (Show Your light)
And bring your heart to Me (That my heart, like Yours, burn bright)
[Outro: Sr. Bubbles Bandojo, rc]
The God of silence beckons me
To journey to my heart
Where He awaits me
