did I see you move

in the shadows above

did I hear you speak

was the silence loud enough

did I feel you change

something deep down inside

did I know your touch

in a place I will hide



did I pray

this is my state of grace

did it break my heart

this dear human race

did I taste these tears

like water, salt and blood

flee this place, seek your face

(knowing) freedom from above



I drown in you

I let you in

Gates of Jerusalem



did I breathe you in

like ice in hot deep air

was your presence more

like love in my fear

did I know your grace

as you forgave as I am

and in this sufficience

know that I am saved



I drown in you

I let you in

Gates of Jerusalem
