Gabrael StClair - Not for all desire - текст песни (слова)

Refrain:
 Not for all desire will I ever lose myself
 But for the bread of God, which is attained so gladly.
 
 Verses:
 
 1. Let me never lose myself for all that the eye can be hold;
 for all that the eye can be hold is born from inward sight.
 
 2. Let me never lose myself for all that the mind can surround;
 for all that the mind can surround is planted on wisdom's shore.
 
 3. Let me never lose myself for all that the arms can enclose;
 for all that the arms can enclose is found in compassion's gift.
