Save Me a Place

Save me a place on your altar,

I'm borne and I'm lost on your water.

I might get there while it's light, or I might drift under the night,

Save me a place on your altar.

I've reached and I've stumbled toward you,

I've waited and I've hungered for you.

But I lost myself at sea, thought it fell to you not me

To bring me to believe I was worthy.

It's not to make me right I release you,

From everything you are I will not keep you.

I've forgiven the disguises that kept us hidden from our eyes

And left us with these burdens to bury.

I will love you and believe in you forever.

From our children, may we neither one be severed.

Where our birds touch the sky, may we meet there by and by.

Save me a place on your altar.
