Prayer of St. Augustine
Discovering Love's Redemption: Prayer of St. Augustine Unveiled
Lyrics
Late, so late have I loved you
Belatedly, I have come to love you
Beauty so ancient and new
You, the timeless and ever-fresh embodiment of beauty
Always you're near yet far from my view
Your presence is constant, yet at times elusive
Humbly, I turn to you
With humility, I direct my attention towards you
God, you always were with me
O God, you have always been by my side
Yet from you I went astray
Despite this, I strayed away from your path
For temptation captured my restless heart
Temptation led my restless heart astray
But your love turned night into day
Yet, your love transformed my dark moments into light
Late, so late have I loved you
Belatedly, I have come to love you
Beauty so ancient and new
You, the timeless and ever-fresh embodiment of beauty
Always you're near yet far from my view
Your presence is constant, yet at times elusive
Humbly, I turn to you
With humility, I direct my attention towards you
God, you called 'til I heard you
O God, you called me until I listened
And your radiance helped me see
Your brilliance aided me in perceiving truth
I can breathe your fragrance when you are near
I can sense your essence when you are close
And you touched me, now I am free
Your touch has liberated me, and now I am free
Late, so late have I loved you
Belatedly, I have come to love you
Beauty so ancient and new
You, the timeless and ever-fresh embodiment of beauty
Always you're near yet far from my view
Your presence is constant, yet at times elusive
Humbly, I turn to you
With humility, I direct my attention towards you
