You Will Know God
©2002 Andrew Calhoun, recorded on Where Blue Meets Blue.
The coming will fade,
And the even, and the odd;
And the silence will speak,
And you will know God.
Sunrise will arrive,
With the child, and its name;
And the stars will appear,
As we all come the same.
I wrote you a gift,
And I folded it in fours;
That gift is mine,
This gift is yours.
From a hundred strong angles
Come light beams and seasons;
From three still triangles
Shine thousands of reasons.
From free-spoken tongues,
To the swelling of the steeple;
I live with my hopes,
But I die with my people.
From the peace in the field,
To the heartbreaking violence;
We will hear we are here,
When we keep our silence.
The coming will come,
And the even and the odd;
And the silence will break,
And you will know God.
