According to Leonard Cohen:
This is an old prayer it came to me to rewrite. It’s about surrendering.
and
I don’t know which side everybody’s on any more, and …I don’t really care. There is a moment when we have to transcend the side we’re on and understand that we are creatures of a higher order....
If It Be Your Will Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
From this broken hill, all your praises they shall ring
If it be your will to let me sing
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Outro]
If it be your will
