A billion times God has turned man
Into Himself
 
You stand in line for the
Highest gift
For his generosity cannot end.
 
But best to bring an instrument along
While waiting in the cold desert
 
And make some dulcet sounds
To accompany the palms' swaying arms
That are casting silhouettes
Against the sky's curtain
From our fire
 
Remind the Friend of your desire
And great patience.
 
A billion times God has turned man
Back into Herself.
 
We all stand in line
 For the highest 
Gift.
