The Wreath
06:14
|
|||
|
All the light I’ve felt
Tears the sky I’m sailing
You supply my bread
Hills sublime, night veiling
I’ve denied myself
Tho’ terrified, I’m bailing
I’ll supply my breath
You’ll survive me failing
In secret I’m waiting
this wreath on my head: can I?
Til my hands unfetter
take my hand, I’m terror (in time)
My waiting is saying
My faith is forsaken, will I
That you are my kind
Have you on my side?
I deny myself
But to You I’m traitor
I’ve supplied my breath
Youth’s a crime, mine’s sailing
All the nights I’ve knelt
Tear the sky come save me
I’ve declined Thy help
You’ve been mine, unfailing
In secret I’m waiting
this wreath on my head: can I?
Til my hands unfetter
take my hand, I’m terror (in time)
My waiting is saying
My faith is forsaken, will I
That You are my kind
Have You on my side?
You have known all along
Telling us, “You’ve known enough, cried enough”
Tie the rope, its song: “Heaven is enough”
Bear the curse on my back, tie it all!
Mary to Eve: “Home came for us”
[Eve]: “Mary, call him Love”
Torn, the shroud. Enough! (x3)

Golden In Spring
03:54
|
|||
|
Golden in spring is the cold moon singing, “mayfair” unto you
Y’r home to the stars and the loons they swim or they fall before you
Y’ tend to the scars in the lone cars spinning sad songs into you
Moving faster than you but held fast, heard, loved by you
Holy in time where the snows decline and day calls unto you
Y’r home to the streams and the moon beams shine with aplomb before you
Y’r tender to dreams when the cream’s all gone and pain calls up to you
Moving faster than you, but held fast, heard, loved by you
Woven with sighs, with the old moose dying, he cries beside you
Y’r home to the trees and the gulls they sweep and they caw over you
Y’ temper the fears and the long years bend and they fly, all to you
Moving faster than you, but you’re nearer too

Tho' Dark Be My Way
04:42
|
|||
|
Tho’ dark be my way
Since He is my guide,
‘Tis mine to obey
’Tis His to provide
Tho’ cisterns be broken
And creatures all fail
The word He has spoken
Shall surely prevail
Since all that I meet
Shall work for my good
The bitter is sweet
The med’cine is food
Tho’ painful the present
‘Twill cease before long
And then, oh how pleasant
The conqu’or’s song

Fast asleep
In another place
And here below
It’s another world
And I believe
There’s another fount
Where fears are gone—
It’s another
But I…
It’s so easy
To try another one
This sun
It’s so easy
To find a way
Another world
And on our knees
It’s another play
But make believe
Brings another world
And I’ve been there
It’s another fount
We’ll figure out
It’s where love is
But I…
It’s so easy
To find another one
I find
It’s so easy
All the way
Another world
Fred Rogers: You’ve made this day a special day by just you’re being you. There’s no person in
the world just like you, and I like you just the way you are.
François “Officer” Clemmons: Thank you for the refreshments!
Fred: Well, I’m glad you liked it!
Fred: Can I help you?
François: I like being a human being right here and now.
Fred: Bye France!
François: Buh bye!
But I…
it’s so easy
to find another world
I’ve found
it’s so easy
On the way
to another world

Come Unto Me Ye Weary
03:58
|
|||
|
Come unto me ye weary
And I will give you rest
The blessed voice of Jesus
Which comes to hearts oppressed
It tells of benediction
Of pardon grace and peace
Of joy that hath no ending
Of love which cannot cease
Come unto me dear children
And I will give you light
The loving voice of Jesus
Which comes to cheer the night
Our hearts are filled with sadness
And we had lost our way
But mourning brings us gladness
And songs the break of day
Come unto me ye fainting
And I will give you life
The peaceful voice of Jesus
Which comes to end our strife
The foe is stern and eager
The fight is fierce and long
But thou hast made us mighty
And stronger than the strong
And whosoever cometh
I will not cast him out
The patient love of Jesus
Which drives away our doubt
That calls us very sinners
Unworthy though we be
With love so free and boundless
To come dear Lord to thee

Soul, adorn yourself with gladness,
Leave the gloomy haunts of sadness;
Come into the daylight’s splendor,
There with joy your praises render
Bless the One whose grace unbounded,
This amazing banquet founded,
He, though heav’nly, high, and holy,
Deigns to dwell with you most lowly.
Hasten as a bride to meet Him,
Eagerly and gladly greet him.
There he stands already knocking;
Quickly now your gate unlocking.
Open wide the fast-closed portal,
Saying to the Lord immortal:
“Come, and leave your loved one never;
Dwell within my heart forever.”
Now in faith I humbly ponder,
Over this surpassing wonder
That the bread of life is boundless,
Though the souls it feeds are countless;
With the choicest wine of heaven,
Christ’s own blood to us is given.
Oh, most glorious consolation,
Pledge and seal of my salvation.
Jesus, source of lasting pleasure,
Truest friend and dearest treasure,
Peace beyond all understanding,
Joy into all life expanding:
Humbly now, I bow before you,
Love incarnate, I adore you;
Worthily let me receive you,
And, so favored, never leave you.

Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by
Let me at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief.
Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.
[Poem by Rowan Riggs, read by his typepad]
Read the peace looks
I’m water and spirit
Eat the food of his teaching
Poor useless body
Open yourself up to love in you
You are the face of my universe
Your dreams are complete
Thou the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me;
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in heaven but Thee?

All Things Well
02:47
|
|||
|
Now in a song of grateful praise
To my dear Lord my voice I’ll raise
With all the saints I’ll join to tell
My Jesus has done all things well
Chorus
All things well! x2
When called to pass the vale of death
If in his arms I lose my breath
O then my happy soul shall tell
My Jesus has done all things well
Chorus
And when to yon’ bright world I rise
And join the anthem in the skies
Above the rest this note shall swell:
My Jesus has done all things well
Chorus

Greenland
04:50
|
|||
|
With songs and honors sounding loud,
Address the Lord on high
Over the heav’ns He spreads His clouds,
And waters veil the sky
(And waters veil the sky)
He sends His show’rs of blessing down
To cheer the plains below;
He makes the grass the mountains crown;
And corn in valleys grow.
(And corn in valleys grow)
Chorus
Grace from heaven flows
For praise in valleys low
His steady counsels change the face
Of each declining year
He bids the sun cut short his race
And wintry days appear.
The land of plenty
Our brother takes us home
Remembering the time
Fine melodies they burn (x2)
Chorus

You Take It All
05:37
|
|||
|
In imagined solace, I’m alone
Banish all unlike us, it’s them that’s wrong
We’re a fallen nation waving bye
Buzzin’ country station, hate for hire
But You take it all
But You take it all
In the sullen silence of my hands
Wait for nothing from them, alien bands
In imagination’s feeding room
I’m the fallen Naaman, salty and rude
But You take it all (x8)
