<Extinguish Thou My Eyes>and<Touch Me>
A passionate poem I love from Rilke:
Extinguish Thou My Eyes
——Rainer Maria Rilke(1875～1926)
Extinguish Thou my eyes:I still can see Thee,
deprive my ears of sound:I still can hear Thee,
and without feet I still can come to Thee,
and without voice I still can call to Thee.
Sever my arms from me, I still will hold Thee
with all my heart as with a single hand,
arrest my heart, my brain will keep on beating,
and Should Thy fire at last my brain consume,
the flowing of my blood will carry Thee.

Below is the lyrics of the song "Touch Me",I found it
similar with the poem above when I heard this
touching song yeas ago.But I can't google it out
in the internet(maybe because I'm in China the policy
of website don't allow such contents to show),so I took down them myself,
sorry if there're mistakes.You can try to search this album
in your area.There're other good songs in it like "(You Are My) All In All",
which has been translated into Chinese used for praise in church,
and a powerful rock one "Come Forth,Lazarus".

Touch Me lyrics
——Album "Wings of the Wind"
I am lame I can't follow you
I am deaf I can't hear
I am blind I can't see you
but I know you are near.
*chorus*
Touch me you mean deliever me x2
What did you see in me
that you forgaven me
and made me yours for eternity
I am lame yet you gave me strength
I am deaf you call my name
I am blind yet you are light
how can I stay the same
*chorus*
Touch me you mean deliever me x2
What did you see in me
that you forgaven me
and made me yours for eternity
I can walk right up to your throne
I can hear angel sing
I can see you revealed yourself
my brokeness I bring
*chorus*
Touch me you mean deliever me x2
You sent/? your son instead of me
and so you've delievered me
and made me yours for eternity
Touch me you mean deliever me x3 end
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
P.S. God'll make us whole one day, and He
"shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away. "
