song demo - Mike Gungor





Ok, I guess I can't try to get everybody else at bloom to post 
something if I'm not going to myself...  This is just a demo of a song 
I'm working on.  It's taken from an Augustine prayer in 
"Confessions"... 

"Late have I loved you, 
O Beauty so ancient, 
so new. 

Late have I loved you! You were within me, but I was outside you, and 
it was there that I searched for you. In my unloveliness I plunged 
into the beautiful things which you created. You were with me, but I 
was not with you. Created things kept me from you; yet if they had not 
been in you they would not have been at all. 

You called, 
you shouted, 
and you broke through my deafness. 

You flashed, 
you shone, 
and you dispelled my blindness. 

You breathed your fragrance on me; 
I drew in breath 
and now I pant for you. 

I have tasted you, 
now I hunger and thirst for more. 

You touched me, 
and I burned for your peace." 

Amen.
