A blank sheet of music
The song at your command
Lyrics, notes, and chords
Chosen by your hand
Write your heart’s own song
Stand and dance your dance
Discover your inheritance
Choose to take the chance
Flowing from within
River of endless time
Taste the joyful waters
And rhyme another rhyme
Song of your creation
Choose to make it great
Write it from your heart
And live your glorious fate
Surrender to God’s holy will
Partake in the feast of Life
Accepting ancient discoveries
Release the burden of strife
The Word lives on forever
In the heart of the penitent one
Nourished in the Body and Blood
Of the Father’s most perfect Son
Take your place at the heavenly table
Eat the Bread that forever sustains
Filled in the Living Water
Drenched in God’s sacred Rains
And the leader of the mysteries
The creator of all truth
Spoke to my heart that day
And that day lives on for all of time
And the time flows as the brook
Where it enters the lake
And I am free to ride the ripples
And fly on the torrents
God is all around me
I am an impulse that flows through His veins
And His veins are the brook
And His mind is the lake
And I ride the ripples
And fly through His thoughts
I give comfort to God today
And He, too, comforts me
The miracle of the ages
The ages that last for a blink
And continue as the breath
And the greatest miracles
Held in secret by the masters of Zen
Is that there are no masters
The master of masters is the servant of the serpent
And the toad observes the truth
And learns it new each day
The discovery of the joy is the greatest joy
And the timeless beating of the heart
My miracle today is that I need not create
To be the oil of the painting is
The beauty of simplicity
And simplicity is the home of love.
