Suddenly you come

Suddenly you come as my true love
when age
already is leaving its marks and I feel young,
am astounded
by how perfectly you fit into my life,
at times I feel stupid,
are in love with you as if you are my first darling,
while daily you bring to my life new meaning.

Although you think that I am different (cavatina)

Although you think that I am different
you know the things
I do love and hate and do relate to
happy tidings,
in your selfless love, to my greatest dreams,
you give some wings,
you love to walk with me on wet rainy days
and know me in some very special ways.

In times of solitude (cavatina)

In times of some great kind of solitude,
the veldt, the bush,
catches me in living great memories,
a tranquil hush
brings back a new kind of awakening,
in does then rush
the trees, birds, bees and many wild flowers,
like some thundering life bearing showers.

Until you came along (cavatina)

Sweet smelling like peaches or oranges
like a girl’s breath,
I have forgotten how nice women could be,
lived in death
with a longing hidden for someone true
far underneath,
until you came along, looked at me
with a kind of serene tranquillity.

When You walked into the world from God to man

When You walked into the world,
from God to man,
nobody really realized
what kind of offering You were making

when You got involved with man
bringing healing to pain,
with a slapping whip drove out
the white plastered priests

and in astonishment
people saw Your love,
when You with the last bit of life,
near to death,
still spoke of mercy

and asked Your Father forgiveness
for them that in humiliation
with pain were murdering You,
before the wide universe
man merciless had portrayed the depths of sin.

There is a land (cavatina)

There is a land of endless light, where night
never does come,
where spring and summer boundless stays in that
eternal home,
where love and delight only true joys bring,
where no fears roam;
in that bright place that brings eternal rest,
there is a God, that selfless loves me best.

Daily there are happenings

Daily there are happenings
and all of life is passing by
in a world filled with new things
with new wonders for the eyes

while I am big but feeling small
and when things are really great
in Your presence which are forever tall
in the world the You do constantly create

and even when life is feeling dim,
unselfishly more sacrifices You do make,
when my eyes with tears do swim
another step closer to You I do take

then I know the power of Your great love,
that no evil force can remove.

Still I trust like a child

It feels as if my life far too slowly comes right
while I live in a world of darkness
but everywhere that I go You are with me,
in everything that I do, You are present
and on each new morning I am amazed
when the sun cuts through the darkness,
when flowers continually get new life,
when birds are singing twittering everywhere
and still I have got to trust like a child,
cling tighter to the great Fatherly hand,
even when all of my days are falling apart
I still have got to bind closer to You
and when the sun grows faint in the evenings,
You are still the almighty Lord of the universe.

Constantly she brings joy

The voice of my love is like a melody
and constantly she brings joy to me,
her eyes is more lovely than the sky,
and in her presence truly happy am I

while I see the brilliance of her smile,
eternally with wit she does me beguile,
until all life leaves me and beyond
to her I will be forever fond.

Her presence brings the greatest joy

Her presence brings the greatest joy,
has warmth like that of the summer sun
greater love than between any girl and boy
she brings me while along our lives do run

and with my true love I want to be
past the ends of life, constantly into eternity.
