lyrics

[Just as real as any dear imagination, we lift our hearts in homage to the god who fills our mind]

Here in Your Presence
as I sit ~ in silent prayer ~
I raise my hands
in full surrender ~

...sun is shining...
...rain is falling...
...wind is blowing and...

I Am Alive!

Here in Your Temple ~
where time-less power flows ~
And I can feel ~
Your Breath inside me ~

...pulsing rhythms...
...life is flowing...
...joy is rising up...

I Am Alive!

---

From the lights ~ of the city
to the glow ~ of distant stars ~
I see Your Life ~ dance all around me ~

...sun is shining...
...rain is falling...
...wind is blowing and...

I Am Alive!

Higher than Your Mountains ~
deeper than Your seas ~
Endless as this Moment ~

...pulsing rhythms...
...life is flowing...
...joy is rising up...

I Am Alive!

---

From the mysterious depths of the dark blue seas to the
most distant lands past the galaxies
The moon and the sun and the most distant stars
from the great Milky Way to the unknown afar

Wherever our minds can imagine to go
it is there that You dwell like the water in snow
No matter the place where our Dreams can abound
it is in that same place that our Gods can be found

Not depth and not hight, neither angels nor jins can hide
me from Your love for it comes from within
Both Heaven and Hell are found in the same place
where I drift off to sleep and I dream of Your face

In Your image we're made for Your image is Ours
and that image shines bright and above all else towers
Your voice and Your footsteps show us our way home
for when our Dreams are with us we are never alone

You live for I'm Alive!
(repeat)

[whether unicorns or fairies, dragon adversaries,
our thoughts can bring us visions, words from heaven's emissaries.
Enjoy the flow of fantasy, embrace the flight of mind,
but know it's in the world out here, reality you'll find
