Mбire Brennan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The silence from within
My heart will demand
Keep me near You
My love in Your hands
What a joy it can be
Iosa, Dé (Jesus, God)
Who walks to the edge
Feeling tired sometimes cold
Who opens the page
Of a lifetime
Who crosses the bridge
What a wonder it can be
Iosa, Dé (Jesus, God)
If time will embrace
And tomorrow clears the air
If once we could face
Crossing over
If winning this race
What a blessing it can be
