GALILEE

By Yasen Vedrin

(I Kneel Before You)

My quiet prayer will gently flow and rise,

Just like a stream that gushes from a stone.

O, Lord! Reveal Galilee to my eyes,

And angels with white wings before Your throne!

And let me see You there, exalted, high –

A gatherer of hope and radiant light.

And without asking where You are, or why,

Let tears fill up my eyes and blur my sight.

I don’t believe You dwell in space so cold.

A joyous peace returns when I implore.

Sighed out, and prayed, and beautifully told,

Your Words refill my spirit more and more.

And like a bird, I follow in Your way,

Anointing all my wings with Holy Oil,

To be the apple of Your eye today…

Beyond the stars – a kin on Galilean soil…
