As a Thousand Voices Sing

Carried off by winged anomalies 

Whose movements make no sound

Whose touch you cannot feel 

Towards heaven I fly with fear

Into its luminous grip

Sin purged from body, mind now pure

Instant death, instant birth 

Eternal I become 

Its light too magnificent

As a thousand voices sing

In a language never heard before 

Its strength unmatched

Plunged toward 

earth again 

too late to beg 

The deal is off, my fate is sealed 

A glimpse of the only true happiness

A mortal could ever experience 

A place of infinite wonder 

Where only the vile are accepted 

His love unfelt 

His grace unseen 

Into disconsolate black 

Continuous falling through space

Doomed to become

One of the rest 

Of his children dwelling in neglect 

Cast down because of imperfection 

With those who dared mock the resurrection
