Adonai
Avalon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One single drop of rain
Your salty tear became blue ocean
One tiny grain of sand turning in your hand
A world in motion

You're out beyond the furthest Morning Star
Close enough to hold me in Your arms
Adonai, I lift up my heart and I cry
My Adonai

You are the Maker of each moment
Father of my hope and freedom
Oh, my Adonai
One timid faithful knock

Resounds up the Rock of Ages
One trembling heart and soul
Becomes a servant bold and courageous
You call across the mountains and the seas

I answer from the deepest part of me




From age to age you reign in Majesty
And today You're making miracles in me

A lot of people might not understand my devotion to Jesus but I will always have it because of how He found me one night when I knelt to pray out my bedroom window when I was 19 years old, and asked out of some despair, where are you God?? And He showed me .. why some people receive the kind of experience I had and some people don't I don't know. I only know that I know His Love ❤️.. and it is so BIG!!!
