Lyrics for Kristy Norfleet’s
New CD Release:
Where I Am
Based
on the poem ”Breathe In Me”
from
Whispers From Eternity
by
Paramhansa Yogananda
Breathe in me, Lord
The way to love Thee
Flawlessly
Thy wisdom wine
Bring to me lips
Divine bliss
Whisper in silence
They way to be
One with Thee
My wondering senses
Lead them within
To Thy haven
Chorus: Breathe in me (4x)
Call the marauding mind
Counsel it wise
Toward paradise
Retracing steps
To Thy throne
Mother, I’m coming home
Bridge: Behind the ocean of delusion
My Lord, you may hide
You may hide behind my life
Between the darkness and light
You may hide behind religions
Or unanswered prayers
You may hide behind my soul
But I know that you’re there
The reflection of the love in me
Reveals Thee look at me with
Thy silent eyes; There I’ll
abide
Guitar:
Steven Walters & Kristy Norfleet
Cello:
David Eby
Harmony vocals: Kristy Norfleet
Based
on the poem “When I’m Only A Dream”
From Songs of the Soul by Paramhansa Yogananda
And the Master said:
I’ve come to tell you
How to bring God’s grace
Encase Him in your heart
Locked in your embrace
I’ll speak to you in
silence
Or through a gentle
glance
Warning you not to
stray
From the divine romance
Chorus: When I’m only a
dream
A face, a memory
My whereabouts
concealed
Where no earthly call
reveals
Unknown I’ll walk by
your side
My words as your guide
Whispers From Eternity
When I’m only a dream
I’ll smile in your mind
when you’re right
Weep through your eyes
if you ‘err
Love all through your
love
Speak through your
deepest prayer
I’ll whisper through
your consciousness
Your wisdom I shall
bless
Keeping you from harm
I’ll guard you in my
arms
Bridge: When you know
my Beloved
You’ll know me; Awake
in Him and you’ll see
I was …
Guitar: Kristy Norfleet & Steven Walters
Cello: David Eby
Flute: Sharon Nani
(You Take My Breath Away)
Thou art my life; Thou
art my love
Thou art all my heart
thinks of
I pine for Thee; Both
night and day
O Lord, you take my
breath away
No string of pearls,
Nor gold I keep
All wealth lay at Thy
lotus feet
I am Thy own, Thy
humble slave
O Lord, you take my
breath away
Chorus: Breath away
(4x)
Dancing with bells on
my feet
Singing Thy praises
Through the streets
The world does claim
I’ve gone astray
But Lord, you take my
breath away
Bridge: Scornful words
I cannot hear
When He whispers He is
near
Poison deeds do me no
harm
When I’m safe within
His arms
I dreamed I was
Krishna’s bride
I saw the heavens in His eyes
We became One that joyous day
O Lord, you took my breath
away
Guitars:
Kristy Norfleet & Mike Millwood
Cello: David Eby
Flute: Sharon Nani
I have sailed a
thousand ships
Lost on earthly seas
Lord, guide this vessel
Safely back to Thee
Chorus: O’ Boatman of
my soul
O’ Guru sent by Thee
Carry me home To Thy
port of peace
Guitar: Kristy Norfleet & Mike
Millwood
Cello: David Eby
Mandolin: Frank Monahan
Harmony vocals: Patrick Mahoney
If my eyes should Ever fall
from Thy gaze
If I stumble, Losing
sight of my way
A child’s steps are
unsteady
Will Thy arms be ready?
Mother, be near when I
call
To catch me The moment
I fall
If I forget Life is a
dream
Believing the illusions
That others see
Awake me from my slumber
This veil that I’ve
been under
Father, be near when I
call To catch me
The moment I fall
Bridge: …Again, Safely
held In Thy embrace
Boundless forgiveness
Each time I fall from grace
O’ Blessed One, You
will come
If my fear keeps me
From loving Thee
Or hearing Thy sweet
words
Whisper to me
My soul remembers
My heart must surrender
Beloved, be near when I
call
To catch me The moment
I fall
Guitar: Steven Walters
Cello: David Eby
Dedicated to Paramhansa Yogananda
Master, if I were the dust at
your feet
Or the tears of devotion you
weep
Your fervent prayer
Sunlight kissing your
hair
How divine it would be
If I were the air you
breathe
If I were the fruit that you
taste
Or the beauty of the smile on
your face
Written words from your pen
Silk touching your skin
How divine it would be
If I were the air you breathe
If I were in the palm of your
hand
Or the footprints you leave in
the sand
The music you sing
Or the laughter you bring
How divine it would be
If I were the air you breathe
Bridge: For a moment in time
Would God also be mine
Would She reveal
The love that you feel
Would my heart
Finally know
The bliss of your soul
If for awhile
I could be your last smile
How divine it would be
If I were the air you breathe
If I were the air you breathe

Flute: Sharon Nani
Inspired by the poem “O’ Divine Sculptor,
Chisel my Life” from Whispers From
Eternity
by Paramhansa Yogananda
(Chant):
Divine Sculptor, Chisel
Thou my life
Divine Sculptor, Chisel
Thou my life
In Thy blessed hands I
place mine
In Thy blessed hands I
place mine
Lord, I am Thine For
Thy design

Dedicated to Babaji
Thought I was contented
in life
Just to be a mother and
wife
Your love took me by
surprise
Beloved kriya eyes
No words can describe
my bliss
Like the tremble of a
first kiss
The door of my heart is
open wide
Beloved kriya eyes
Life won’t be the same
anymore
Yet, would not change
it for the world
A love my heart cannot
deny
Beloved kriya eyes
Bridge: You are a gift
God has given unto me
O’ Treasured lover I
fall at Thy feet
A divine romance I knew
at first glance
I was Thy Own With eyes
for Thee alone
Thy eyes for me alone
I must have done
something right
To find the love of my
life
Our souls intertwine in
Thy light
Beloved kriya eyes
Guitar: Kristy Norfleet & Mike
Millwood
Cello: David Eby
O’ child of Mine
Born of Me from My
Design
Baby, don’t cry I’m
right here by your side
Tumbles; skinned knees
Through human arms I’ll
comfort Thee
I watch you grow And
someday you will know
Chorus: You are
everything I’ve dreamed of
I have everything but
your love
From eternity, whispers
to thee
Come home to Me
Fly from the nest And
search my world for happiness
Don’t think all joys
Come from earthly toys
A sweet caress Feels
this must be what love is
There’s so much more
Your soul hungers for
Bridge: Child, place
your hand in Mine
Walk with Me in My
realm of peace
Here you’ll find those
two dark eyes
You have longed to see
Smiling back at thee
And through the years
Each time you fell
I kissed your tears You
thought me far
As I held you in my
arms
Wrinkled by time
Slows down this playful
heart of thine
Come rest thy head Upon
My astral bed

Cello: David Eby
Flute: Sharon Nani
Inspired by the poems “Where I Am”
and “One That’s Everywhere”
from Songs of the Soul
by Paramhansa Yogananda
Dark and starlit night
Earth changes robes for
dazzling light
Sky is blushing red
At the sun-god’s gentle
tread
A humble magnet call, A
whisper by the brook
On grassy altar small,
There I have my nook
Chorus: Where I am Is
where thou art
Found in silence,
Reigning in thy heart
A crumbling temple
shrine, A little place unseen
Unhedged, unwatched, I
humbly rest and lean
Bridge: Trees sigh,
Wind moans
The murmuring stream
intones
Nature mutely shares
But only man declares
My Presence everywhere!
The sun bids farewell
As Mother Night draws
Her veil
A million stars do
shine
Singing silently, “I am
thine”
Guitar: Steven Walters
Cello: David Eby
Dedicated to Paramhansa Yogananda
Supreme Guruji, Swan of
my soul
Thy wings of grace
Carry me home
Through heaven’s gate
To Eternity
My beloved God I’ll fly
to Thee
Chorus: On Master’s
wings (3x)
O’ Yogi of Bliss, No
greater love was this
From perfect freedom,
To earth Thou hath come
O’ Bird of Paradise, What
Thou sacrificed
So that I may fly To
God’s side
Bridge: If clouds cover
skies with rain
Mother, I won’t dismay
If winds of delusion
blow
I won’t face them alone
For if I falter, I
shall cling
To the strength Of
Master’s wings
Hansa of my heart, I
long to depart
From shore to ply, Blue
ocean of sky
Blessed avatar Bound
for Eastern Star
Guided by God’s ray To
the Opal Flame
Guitar: Steven Walters
Cello: David Eby
Flute: Sharon Nani
Inspired by the poetry of
Paramhansa Yogananda
Too long, O’ Mother,
Thou hid from me
My wordless chants of
yearning You heard silently
You smiled on lips of
laughter
And through Thy starry
eyes
I gazed into Thy mystic
heart
Into paradise
Chorus: O’ Cosmic
Mother
Thy glory crowns Thy
face
Garland of beauty
Fragrant with grace
O’ Silent Mother, Thy
angelic call
Thrilling in the voice
Of the nightingale’s
song
You breathe forth life
Eternally
Through all of Thy
creation
I touch Thy holy feet
O’ Joyful Mother, I’ve
tasted Thy bliss
No earthly desire Compares
to this
Bouquets of devotion
Upon Thee I bestow
Blossomed through
wisdom
From the garden of my
soul
Bridge: My eyes were
open
Asleep in this dream
‘Till Thou came And
awakened me!
