David Smalling Poet Lyric

My Trembling Soul (For Joy)

So now again with day I wake
New mercy from my maker to take
 And for your love to feel my ache
   And beg his mercy not forsake
      My trembling soul for you

 Down on my knees I kneel to pray
 Rinse anew by the promise of day
   My lips linger that I should say
Lord, prosper now your gem of clay
    My trembling soul bids you

    I rise to see the landscape green
So sweetly dressed in the sun's bright sheen
  But saw your face there hang between
    Earth and sky, like a shining queen
      My trembling soul greets you

   Heaven has God, and earth has you
       My soul, a flower, has its dew
       And love its binding work to do
    For God's greatest gift ... so like you
    Trembles still my soul, to joy for you
