Litany of Gathering Up
I constructed a strange mess
a strange mess
from the pieces of me
I reached into the black sky
I dark into the brown earth
and found a piece
and found a piece of me
I stretched into the yellow sun
and dived into the roaring see
and found a piece
and found a piece of me
I was remade O Lord
I was remade O Lord
I was no longer me
I was the world the world entire
I was remade O Lord
I was remade O Lord
I was no longer me
I went down
I went down
to the cruelted city
and found
and found
a piece of me
I went down
I went down
and made a new a new formed body
and found
when I looked into the river
it was no longer me
I was remade O Lord
I was remade O Lord
I was no longer me
I was the world the world entire
I was remade O Lord
I was remade O Lord
I was no longer me
I was the world the world entire
I went down
I went down
to the cruelted city
and found
and found
a piece of me
I went down
I went down
and made a new a new formed body
and found when I looked into the river
it was no longer me
I went down
I went down
and made a new a new formed body
and found when I soared across the river
I was no longer me
a strange mess
from the pieces of me
I reached into the black sky
I dark into the brown earth
and found a piece
and found a piece of me
I stretched into the yellow sun
and dived into the roaring see
and found a piece
and found a piece of me
I was remade O Lord
I was remade O Lord
I was no longer me
I was the world the world entire
I was remade O Lord
I was remade O Lord
I was no longer me
I went down
I went down
to the cruelted city
and found
and found
a piece of me
I went down
I went down
and made a new a new formed body
and found
when I looked into the river
it was no longer me
I was remade O Lord
I was remade O Lord
I was no longer me
I was the world the world entire
I was remade O Lord
I was remade O Lord
I was no longer me
I was the world the world entire
I went down
I went down
to the cruelted city
and found
and found
a piece of me
I went down
I went down
and made a new a new formed body
and found when I looked into the river
it was no longer me
I went down
I went down
and made a new a new formed body
and found when I soared across the river
I was no longer me
