i love you tree, my sacred tree,
you tell me change is nigh,
god's spirit wafting through your boughs
whispering with a sigh:
"o, all must change! o, you must change!
the sleeper must arise!
the breath of god is calling you
to open wide your eyes!"
i love you tree, my holy tree,
sing songs to me, my love,
of unicorns and love reborn
and cooing mourning doves.
my tree of life, thou voice of god,
beckoning unto me,
ten-thousand love-songs fill my soul,
they lift and set me free!
o sing to me - ten-thousand leaves,
you children of the wind,
your lullabies of god's sweet love
eternal - without end.
god's honeyed kiss and sweet embrace,
are scintillating thrills,
inspiring my enraptured soul
with promises fulfilled.
o serenade me, holy choir,
ten-thousand times and more,
until the songs of god echo
within me ever more.
whisper to me ten-thousand lips
the boundless love of god.
transport me to your paradise
with songs of shangri-la
