Leonard Cohen is an amazing poet and songwriter, who has been sharing his talent with the world since the 60's. He has this incredible deep voice and when he speaks the lyrics or sings it, the effect is enthralling.
This is one of just many of my favorites. Hope you enjoy it!
If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until I am spoken for
If it be your will
If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will
To make us well
And draw us near And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will
If it be your will.
