Are all that I have to hold

There in your arms

I went walking in the world

The voice of many waters

In the waking cascade

In the breathing we wait

There's a presence in the wind 
    F            G       Gsus4 
And it holds all departed

And I'm here in the power

And the long passing hour

C 
The light rushing in 
      F            C 
Great great gentle giver 
        G         F 
All the craving I see 
        Dm         G  Gsus4 
Falling way beyond me

Are all that I have to hold

There in your arms

There in your arms
