Iona Album: Open Sky Track: Songs of Ascent, Pt. 1 Songs of Ascent, Pt. 1 Lyrics Bainbridge/Donockley/Hogg When Mercy comes to me, as soft as the sky And faith like a strong arm around me lies And life is beginning, like springtime in flower My soul is awakened, with truth to astound me An emptiness for You to fill My soul a cavern for Your sea And You are the flowering bough of creation From You cascades music, like a million stars And here in the purest light of the heavens Mysteries revealing, in songs that surround me An emptiness for You to fill My soul a cavern for Your sea (with acknowledgement to George MacDonald and Ray Simpson) NB latin words used on this and other tracks quoted from 'Altus Prosator' - a 6th century poem attributed to Columba
