I hovered o’er your lifeless world –
envisioned what could be;
to rid the dark and empty depths,
was light that made it flee.
Angels gathered ‘round my throne;
they offered ceaseless praise.
Still a void – one thing I missed,
for one to choose my ways.
So in it all I thought of you –
you would get to choose.
I knew ahead that some would win
I knew that some would lose.
I’d hover o’er your lifeless world –
and envision what could be;
to rid your dark and empty depths,
send light to set you free.
It’s up to you, the choice is yours,
I will not force my way.
But in it all I thought of you
and hoped I’d hear you say:
I’m sorry that it took this long –
I now can see my need.
Rid my dark and empty depths –
For your light I plead.
