Be

A dear friend sent me the lyrics to this song as part of our ongoing discussion of being "in the moment". I put the name of the artist at the end. I'll turn off my song for today.

Not knowing the melody, I have found the words very poetic. My favorite part is where it says we dance to a whispered voice overheard by the soul. If we still ourselves enough, if we enter into the quiet that is so often elusive in our hectic days unless we fight for it, carve it out, we will hear the Voice that calls to us--calls us to enter into communion with Him.

Still yourselves. Listen for His voice. Be as a page that aches for a Word.

BE

Lost
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet's eye
You may find Him
If you may find Him

There
On a distant shore
By the wings of dreams
Through an open door
You may know Him
If you may

Be
As a page that aches for a Word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
While the Sun God will make for your day
Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one God will make for your way

And we dance
To a whispered voice
Overheard by the soul
Undertook by the heart
And you may know it
If you may know it

While the sand
Would become the stone
Which begat the spark
Turned to living bone
Holy, holy
Sanctus, sanctus

Be
As a page that aches for a Word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
While the Sun God will make for your day
Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one God will make for your way
