Deliverance
Words & Music by Shimshai
Living in light devotion of the One, I hear your song
Everliving word for every living one
Be the light reflection of the sun, I see your face
In every living wonder of eternal grace
In everything I see you, a glimpse of what it is to be you
In longing to be near you, would I be a fool to fear you
For I am becoming as part of the whole
I have begun with an infinite role
As part of a journey as deep as your soul
Deliverance in perfection of the way, within your breath
Ever flowing fountain of your holiness
In a pure connection to the source, I feel your pulse
The heartbeat of creation giveth birth to truth
What am I before you, a fragment to reflect, I adore you
Surrounded by your beauty, do receive & give to thee duly
For I am a stone in the stairway of time
& I am but barely beginning to climb
All within reason regardless of rhyme
Living in light devotion of the One, I hear your song
Everliving word for every living one
Be the light devotion of the son, I see your face
In every living wonder of eternal grace
I believe in the glory of love
I believe in the wisdom within & above
& I pray for the balance of all we perceive
I give thanks for the power to give & receive
Living in light devotion of the One (I hear your song)
Be the light reflection of the sun (I see your face)
In a pure connection to the source (I feel your pulse)
In a pure connection with the force (I feel your grace)
Deliverance in perfection of the way (within your breath)
Be the light devotion of the son (I see your face)
In a pure connection to the source (I hear your song)
Be the light reflection of the One
Deliverance was and still is to date one of my most complex pieces of music. It goes back and forth between a 3 and 4 time, and so many chords, many of which I came up with in searching for different modes of expression. Much of my music is really simple with just a few chords so i guess I needed a song to stretch that out, given that I actually do come from a background of extensive musical training and study. Still love singing this one and it always feels like a journey from start to finish.
