you are the king who speaks peace to nations
you are the father who runs down to the child
you are the warrior who comes with hands to heal
you are the strong one who sings
you are the mother who bears the pain of children
you are the shepherd who carries the weak
you are the midwife who labours with us all night
you are the lover who dreams
come be you in my weakness
come be you in my grief
come be you in my celebrations / come be you when I bleed
come be you in my expectancy
name yourself in my hearing
teach me words that are true
touch the coal to my mouth
paint new pictures of yourself
come be mother
come be father
