The Poet's Place - Trijan Refrain - A Psalm of Praise
Sweetly He sings only to me -
I listen to His voice;
Oh how I so long to be free!
And given such a choice.
Take me sweetly beyond the heights;
I will have no more any frights.
Take me sweetly!
Take me sweetly!
Only on You I've set my sights.
You presence only I may see;
Cover me with Your wings.
I may partake of Heaven's Tree
Your praises I do sing.
Glorious worship I shall shout;
You majesty I do not doubt.
Glor'ous worship!
Glor'ous worship!
I only wish to be devout.
Your bounty is beyond degree-
Telling other of You;
Your mercy, freedom it gives me;
I know this to be true.
I lean into Your gracious love
It's sent straight from Heaven above.
I lean into!
I lean into!
Greatly we partake thereof.
