A promise. That's what Your song sounds like. Of heaven, paradise, life.
Where have I heard your voice?
Was it in the great wind, that blew across the skies? Was it in the tremors that shook the earth, tearing the great temple's veil? Was it in the fire that refined that Old City?
No, it was in that gently whispered 'It is finished!' That still small voice like the cry of the martyrs and the shouts of the arch-angels melded into one.
