AmFAmF
When love beckons to you,
CFCF
follow him,
AmFAmF
Though his ways are hard and steep.
CFCFDmFDmF
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
CFCFDmFDmF
Though he hides a sword among them.
CFCFAmFAmF
And when he speaks to you
CFCF
believe in him,
DmFDmF
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
CFCFDFCF
Love will crown and crucify you.
DFAmF
Love for your growth so he is for your pruning.
DFCF
Love will caresses your tenderest branches
AmFAmF
And shake every clinging root.
AmFAmFCFCF
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
AmFAmF
He threshes and sifts you he grinds until he kneads you
CFCFDmFDmFCFCF
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire,
DmFDmFCFCF
That you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.
DFCF
All these things shall love do unto you
DFAmF
That you may know the secrets of your heart,
DFCF
And in that knowledge become a fragment
AmFAmFA fragment of Life's heart.
AmFAm
Now if in your fear you seek only love's
FAmFAmF
peace and love's pleasure,
AmFAm
Better cover your nakedness and pass out of
FAmFAmF
love's threshing-floor,
DmF
Into a seasonless world where you shall
DmFAmFAmF
laugh, but not all your laughter,
DmFDmFAmFAmF
And weep, and weep but not all of your tears.
DFCF
Love gives naught but itself
DFAmF
and takes naught but from itself.
DFCF
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
AmFAmF
For love is enough.
AmFCF
You should say, "I am in the heart of God."
AmFCF
You cannot direct the course of love,
AmFCFCFCF
For love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
DFCF
To wake at dawn with a winged heart
DFAmF
To come home in the evening with gratitude;
DFCF
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart
AmFAm
And a song of praise on your lips.
