I wrote this song for Julia Seemann, with whom I have conducted interviews about her courageous battle with cancer, the most recent of which is here:
I am also posting the official ‘lyrics video’ here for those who like to follow the words of a song:
Julia’s substack is here:
In the Divine I tried to find the spark of light In poems and in song, In books whose endless pages Show where everything's gone wrong I tried to find whatever might Explain my journey's aim, The roads that weren't taken And the loves I couldn't name The wanting and the wishing for a sign The waiting and the hoping for a door To open and a final word to tell me Whether what I yearned to feel and more Could yet be mine Your kind and piercing eyes bestow A grace on my poor form The hand that stretches out to me Has hushed my every storm Your blessing leaves me all aglow I'm now serenely calm I've found the home I sought for years My refuge and my balm I've found the home I sought for years My refuge and my balm The wanting and the wishing for a sign The waiting and the hoping for a door To open and a final word have led me Now at last to the divine Your blessing leaves me all aglow I'm now serenely calm I've found the home I sought for years My refuge and my balm In the divine Emanuel E.
