1. When the load of error is too much to bear
And the burden of proof disheartens your truth,
A stillness inside awaits to confide:
Your advent unfolds! Christ born in your soul!
Refrain:

2. When the load of strain is hard to contain
And the burden of stress is heavy at best,
A stillness within can help you begin:
Your advent unfolds! Christ born in your soul!
Refrain:

3. When the load of sight is clouding your Light
And the burden of sound is chaos all ’round,
A stillness in you keeps breaking through:
Your advent unfolds! Christ born in your soul!
Refrain:

Refrain:
So, look inside for peace of mind.
Nothing can save but the Spirit who made you.
Worry and woe, let ’em go,
And lift your eyes to find
The Christ Light in your mind!

Mountain of the Lord

Isaiah 2:1-3,5 (NKJV)

Now it shall come to pass in the latter days
That the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And all nations shall flow to it.
Many people shall come and say,
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
O house of Jacob, come and let us walk
In the light of the Lord.

The Mountain of the Lord

Mystically understood, the Lord’s mountain is a meditative state, a place of Higher Consciousness. It rises above the hillsides, the height, of everyday awareness to something greater. And it is for everyone, for all nations, all people, not just a chosen few. The mountain of the Lord is always present, and we can climb it, learn his ways, and walk in his light in our daily lives.

Even Christ was a child once!
So how can you be anything else?
Even Christ was a child once!
So be gentle with yourself.
Yeah, be gentle with yourself.

But on the inside you still cry.
Oh don’t be sad or let it make you mad,
And here’s the reason why.

Thinkin’ no one cares for you.
Oh don’t give up or hold back your love,

To somethin’ you don’t understand.
Oh be a child with a faithful mind,
And know the pow’r at hand.

New Testament Quotations

from New American Standard Bible (NASB)

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
–John 1:14

Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
–Matthew 5:16

When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: “HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES.”
–Matthew 8:16-17

Showing compassion in deed and in thought;
So we may know every blessing He brought,
Sickness is carried away!

Offering solace for me and for you;
So we may seek Him and live in the truth,
Sickness is carried away!

1. O you can love my body,
But you are missing much.
‘Cause I am more than everything
You see and hear and touch.

Refrain:
Love fully,
The aspects and the whole.
Love freely,
Body, mind and soul.

For all I understand.
But even that is limited;
It isn’t who I am.

And how I wish you would!
But all alone it’s nothing
Except in God the Good!

And don’t you worry if it seems too hard to do now,
‘Cause only God can make Agape love shine through now.
Seek the kingdom deep in you,
And you’ll come to see it too.
May your love reflect the truth!

So you love fully,
All your aspects and the whole.
Love freely,
Love your body, mind and soul.

‘Cause only then
Can you reach out your hand
And love others fully,
The aspects and the whole.
Love them freely,
Body, mind and soul.

Love freely,
Body, mind and soul.

Mystical Strings

Posted on by

The theme song for my ministry, practice, and website – Mystical Strings! The idea has been brewing since December, 2014, revisited along the way for snatches of music and lyrics. It has been so worth the wait for this song, which I like very much. But then, would I write a song I didn’t like? Probably not. 🙂

(Capo 2)

1. Babies learn to walk,
And we encourage their strides.
As they sing and talk,
We overflow with delight.
While people are growing,
It goes ebbing away.
What’s the harm in showing
That we love them today?
Refrain:

2. Spirit put us right here,
Setting our time and place.
We can make it bright here
When we mirror Its face.
For we are the blessing
And the vessel of love.
Spirit is our essence;
Every person is One.
Refrain:

Oh! I want to see you shine!
I want to hear you sing!
Nurture with love and find
All of your mystical strings,
All of my mystical strings,
All of our mystical strings,
Because we are the mystical strings!

Refrain:
I want to see you shine!
I want to hear you sing!
Nurture with love and find
All of your mystical strings,
All of your mystical strings!

What’s in There?

Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar

1. We don’t look in the mirror,
‘Cause we’re scared of what is in there.
We don’t try something new,
‘Cause we’re stuck on what has been there.
It’s a wonder we do anything at all!

2. We don’t lift that mental veil,
‘Cause we can’t see what it covers.
We don’t stand tall and proud,
‘Cause what happens when they see us?
It’s a wonder we get out of bed at all!
‘Cause
Refrain:

Repeat from beginning.

3. We don’t think outside the box,
‘Cause we’re scared of open spaces.
We don’t release the past,
‘Cause we’re stuck on losing races.
It’s a wonder we get anywhere at all!
‘Cause
Refrain: (Twice)

Refrain:
All that’s hidden there is
All that’s ever been there!
You, already finished!
You, without a blemish!
You, you, you!
