Lyrics:
He meets you down, by the doorway of a castle
You can hear the cows grazing, fresh wind circling ‘round him
And you know that he's a wise one, that's why you want to be there
And he feeds you prayers and dreamings, that come all the way from heaven
And just when you’re puzzling over, if there is love to be given
Then a vision flew into your heart,
And you heard the Spirit answer, that you are and can be lovers.
And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you’ll trust him
For through his heart and soul, you feel found.
And Jesus was a carpenter, when he walked upon this earth
And he spent a long time teaching, how to love God and each other
How to build up the Kingdom, how to breathe it into existence
And he showed us how to give, surrender, live our life for heaven
How to follow him in daring faith, to walk out onto stormy waters
Inviting us into the dance, to step in trust and rhythm with the One.
And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind
And you know you want to trust him
For through his life and Word, you are found.
Now she takes your hand, and she leads you through the woodland
She's wearing what she always wears, from childhood and free stores
And the wind blows through the canopy, God breathing saying “I am near”
And she shows you where to look, among the forest bed and tree tops
Church naves built by the beech trunks, saintly light through the dappled leaves
They are leaning out for love, she asks to lean that way forever
As she stands holding out a ring.
For she wants to travel with him, and she wants to travel blind
And she knows she wants to trust him
For through his heart and soul, she feels found.
So will you travel with me, will you travel faithfully
And will you trust God’s dance with me
And let our hearts and souls be tied?
And let our hearts and souls be tied?
