Story behind the song

I first wrote the song zooming around the
unbelievably gorgeous coast road in Northern
Ireland, where, on a good day, you can see
almost forever, and the islands of Scotland
nestling in the mist. I was inspired by
Julian of Norwich, who spoke of the universe
existing because God's love is holding it
together. Helen, once more, helped with the
vocals for me. I think her voice is getting
better as time goes on!

Lyrics

Each warm embrace
Each smiling face
Eternity
You bring to me.

Each breath I take
My Lord you make
My God you bring
To life each being.

Its your love that
makes the stars shine,
Its your love that spins the globe.
Its your love that makes the
Sunrise in the day.
Its your love that will sustain me
When each ray of hope has gone.
Its your love that takes the
stench of death away.

In you we live
In you we move
In you we breathe
And learn the truth.

In you we grow
And come to know
You are the Christ
The well of life.
