All That I Know To Have Changed In You

You know, dear, that when I sing

it is your voice that I am hearing

it is your language

old and echoing

And you know, friend, that when I falter

freeze in the face of this we can't alter

it is all that I know to have changed in you

it makes me work harder

You know, love, that I hold you highest

though I stray and I strugle

and often deny it

it is your mercy beacon

of which I'm abiding
