Miten
(Written while listening)
All the tears that I have shed,
Over and over and over
In my heart and cleared my head,
Over and over and over
Over and over and over
One by one they led me home,
Over and over and over
Its my pleasure to be here at your feet,
It’s my honor and my joy
It’s no wonder that I’m finding you here,
My soul in your silent Garden
instrumental one vers
Be the light that I may see,
Over and over and over
Then let me serve thee for my lead,
Over and over and over
Its my pleasure to be here at your feet,
It’s my honor and my joy
It’s no wonder that I’m finding you here,
My soul in your silent garden
Its my pleasure to be here at your feet,
It’s my honor and my joy
It’s no wonder that I’m finding you here,
My soul in your silent garden
