Can I?

Can I come up the stairs to heaven to meet you O Lord

Can I just raise my hand and touch you O Lord

Can I just call out and talk to you when I’m lonely

Can I? Can I?

Can I just run to you when I am in trouble O Lord

Can I hide under your cloak and from the world O Lord

Can I just sit in your lap and hold you tight

Can I? Can I?

Can this world be more cruel

Can this world be more harsh

Can I live here anymore

I can’t! I can’t!

Can I look at the rays in the sky and see you instead

Can I hear a stream tumble by but heed you instead

Can I drink honey but savor your love instead

Can I? Can I?

Can I let go of this world

Can I make Heaven my home

Can I love you than like them all

I want to! I want to!
