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
Father God,
Fill us with the desire to grow strong
But also with the recognition
That all strength is from You
And feed our desire
Love is flowing from Your hand
Through the hearts of Your children
It pervades and permeates all that is
All that was and all that will be
Grant us the grace to forgive
Let us not seek to be made whole
Wholeness comes only from You
Forgiveness opens anew our hearts
All the gifts in store for us
Set loose this brave new day
Open our eyes to see, our hands to receive
From You all good gifts flow forever
Give to us the peace of clarity
We seek to know Your face
Shield our eyes from humanity’s noise
Take us into Your presence
And as we become bathed in Your peace
Let us shine that peace on the world
You have created us to love You
Guide us to this perfect fate
Strengthen, too, our acceptance
Remind us that all is as You have designed
Teach us in the way of calm compassion
Let us help to still the pond of existence
Teach us to sing Your wondrous praises
Fill us with Your grand and quiet love
Grant us the mind of pure Light
That we might shine through Your children
Lead us, Father, to a heart of graciousness
Fill us with a perfect sense of acceptance
Flood us in Your forever divine love
Let us enjoy the peace of Your heart
Amen
Brilliant morning, new and fresh
Blessings flow to they that wait
Patiently walking through calm and storm
Take this path; don’t hesitate
Infinite grace is here for you
I’ve set the table; please don’t be late
Let nothing stop your destined trek
Release your worries; let fear abate
Raise your sights and dry your eyes
The time is come to claim your fate
Come sit with me and sing a song
I’m waiting here at ecstasy’s gate
Sun shines bright this new morn,
Illuminating the small creatures’ awakening.
Winter’s time of sleep will soon cease;
Spring touches the trees’ buds,
Invites the songbirds’ return.
Breezes, small and subtle, move us,
As we bow before the ebbs of seasons’ tides.
There is a peace unimaginable;
It rides the Light that touches all observers,
As we walk the beautiful path of life before us.
Yesterday’s chilling winds of change,
Tested our resolve and faith in today’s fate.
Today we journey again joined as one.
The Universe’s gifts arrayed before us in splendor,
We raise our eyes to the sun,
Dance in the warming spring breeze;
We are here and now in peaceful joy,
Rejoicing in the great Love that is our birthright.
Looking up
He saw the man staring down at him
The resemblance was uncanny
His mood changed at once
From confusion to fright
From dimness to darkest night
Lost in the moment
Frozen in this sight
He stilled his breath
He gulped for life
An instant’s choice
The fate of life
Looking down
He saw the man staring up at him
He laughed in that particularly evil way
The reaper had taught him so long ago
The paralyzed man was seeking
Was struggling for the comfort of a breath
Denying the impossible truth
That he was so near death
He laughed again
In spite of the view
That held him caught
In perspective new
Looking up
He begged for another chance
Why is the messenger upon me?
Is this the final dance?
The reaper bared his sickle
Time could wait no more
He readied for the final cut
Prepared for this next chore
An instant of indecision
Stopped his hand in flight
Remembering the moment
Caught in a flicker of light
He handed the blade to the other
And the other wasted no time
Sliced into the messenger
And leapt into sublime
Forever destiny held
The reaper’s son lives on
First kill was his maker
Ascension of the spawn
