It’s been a long time comin’
It’s goin’ to be a long time gone.
But you know,
The darkest hour is always
Always just before the dawn.
And it appears to be a long, appears to be a long,
Appears to be a long
Time before the dawn.
Time Before the Dawn
December 26, 2022The Lord’s Prayer (In Songs)
September 10, 2022Our Father who is in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven
Give us this day
our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
Christ (Mass): Lift Me Up
December 25, 2021What to do I find it hard to know;
Lord, [our] walk is not the one I chose.
Lift me up and turn me over;
Lead me on into the dawn.
Take me to the highest mountain;
Tie me up, love in a storm.
Once again, as a meditation (as in Psalms): Imagine being moved to such an extent that you created this song – as a reflection and an offering. Then, also imagine receiving it – as a Gift.
A Song; A Psalm (2): Love Is Alive
December 5, 2021Well I think it’s time to get ready
To realize just what I have found
I have lived only half of what I am
It’s all clear to me now
My heart is on fire
My soul’s like a wheel that’s turnin’
As a meditation (as in Psalms): Imagine being moved to such an extent that you created this song – as a reflection and an offering. Imagine singing it (in spirit) – before God’s presence (where only a few words changed). If so, how far could one be lifted? If so, how far could one be gifted? Sending songs – and receiving songs: Imagine.
It was not only then; it can also be now.
Let It Rain
August 23, 2020
The rain is falling through the mist
Of sorrow that surrounded me.
The sun could never thaw away
The bliss that lays around me.
Let it rain, let it rain,
Let your love rain down on me.
Let it rain, let it rain,
Let it rain, rain, rain.
Now I know the secret;
There is nothing that I lack.
If I give my love to you,
You’ll surely give it back.
Hearing: “Time In a Bottle”
December 18, 2013
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I’d save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you
Balancing (Times)
October 5, 2013
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends:
With the Lord a day is like a thousand years,
and a thousand years are like a day.
Permanent Waves
July 20, 2013In their own image,
Their world is fashioned.
No wonder they don’t understand.
Science, like nature,
Must also be tamed
With a view towards its preservation.
Given the same
State of integrity,
It will surely serve us well.
Art as expression,
Not as market campaigns
Will still capture our imaginations.
Given the same
State of integrity,
It will surely help us along.
The most endangered species,
The honest man,
Will still survive annihilation.
Forming a world
State of integrity,
Sensitive, open and strong.
Wave after wave will flow with the tide, and bury the world as it does.
Tide after tide will flow and recede, leaving life to go on as it was. . . .
