Iona - Irish Day

About Columba, one of the first to bring the Gospel to the
British Isles

Sand as white as snow
swirls like smoke around my feet
And a sky that turns in a moment
from blue to grey
All these things I see
on an Irish day

It is here that time has granted
that the light
should still burn on
It was here a seed was planted
in the brave heart of an Irish son

Here before my time
walked men of faith and truth
In a land that was dark
they followed the way
Bringing sweet light
on an Irish day

It is here that time has granted
that the light
should still burn on
It was here a seed was planted
in the brave heart of an Irish son

Here I kneel upon this ground
Love can heal
when truth is found
