  tell me what you are to me.
  Say to my soul,
  I am your salvation.
  Say it so that I can hear it.
  My heart is listening, Lord;
  open the ears of my heart
  and say to my soul,
  I am your salvation.
  Let me run toward this voice
  and seize hold of you.
  Do not hide your face from me:
  let me die so that I may see it,
  for not to see it would be death to me indeed.
