From the recording IN THE GARDEN OF FLAMES (Vol 1) Dulcimer Songs
Lyrics
WHIP UP THE WAVES
Like a drop in the Ocean
I’m a part of the Sea
And though I left you,
You’re still within me
CHORUS
Love ~ love is in my heart.
Love ~ I am in the heart of Love
Love ~ love is in my heart
Love ~ I am in the heart of Love
Living in the ocean of Thy Love ~
I am never alone
Swimming in the ocean of Thy Love ~
I am never alone
Never never alone.
This verse is by Rumi ~ a translation by Andrew Harvey from his book ‘Light Upon Light’
Whip up the Waves of Non-being
And wash me, wash me away
Whip up the Waves of Non-Being
And wash me, wash me away
How long will I walk
up and down the shore in fear
How long will I walk up
and down the shore in fear
This verse is by Rumi from a translation by Coleman Barks from his book ‘Essential Rumi’
When the ocean surges
don’t let me just hear it
Let the waves break inside my chest inside my chest
Love is an Infinite Sea
the Winds of Love are calling me
Love is an Infinite Sea
the Currents of Love are taking me
