about

This track was inspired by the life of St Augustine. He was a philosopher, a searcher of truth. He heard some young people one day, playing a game in the garden and singing 'Tolle Lege' (Take and read). He took this as a sign to take and read the Scriptures and this changed his life. He began to listen to his heart and discovered that God was closer to him than he had imagined he was. - Hope you like it.

lyrics

Tolle lege, deo gratias
Tolle lege, deo gratias

Beauty so ancient, oh beauty so new
You were within me, but I was not within you
You called and you cried and you opened my eyes
Broken open my darkness set me free from the
Noise all around that God could never be found
Now I can finally see, you were closer to me
Than I’d imagine you’d be

So take up and read
Giving you the lead
So be still my soul my soul
Restless you will be until you rest in thee
So be still my soul my soul

I return to the fountain,
Longing thirsting for you,
With your unchangeable light
Shining, giving new sight
So take up and read, giving you the lead
So be still my soul, cause you have filled my soul
And I will never find rest, until they rest in you
Now I can finally see, you were closer to me
Than I’d imagine you’d be

So take up and read
giving you the lead
So be still my soul my soul
Restless you will be until you rest in thee
So be still my soul my soul

Pour out you light and your love
Breathe forth spirit of truth
So that my blindness would cease
And now I burn for your peace
Seeking your sunlit skies
'Cause you have opened my eyes
So be still my soul
Because you have filled my soul
I never find rest, until they rest in you
Now I can finally see
That you were closer to me
Than I‘d imagine you’d be.

So take up and read
giving you the lead
So be still my soul my soul
Restless you will be until you rest in thee
So be still my soul my soul

Tolle lege, deo gratias
Tolle lege, deo gratias
Tolle lege, deo gratias
Tolle lege, deo gratias
