God Bless this Human Mess

Posted on by

Instrument: Eventide – Mahogany Concert Ukulele

1. “In my father’s house are many mansions.” But who cares
When all you see is heartache
running up and down the creeking stairs?
And nothin’ I can do or say
Takes anybody’s pain away,
But still I’ll do my best and pray:
Refrain:

2. Every soul in torment has a part that knows the Way.
Lead them, Father, lead them inward
To the bright eternal flame.
‘Cause nothin’ I can do or say
Takes anybody’s pain away,
But still I’ll do my best and pray:
Refrain:

3. In my father’s house are many people in disguise.
They are all His own,
Whether they think it’s Hell or Paradise!
And nothin’ I can do or say
Takes anybody’s pain away,
But still I’ll do my best and pray:
Refrain: (Twice)

God bless, o God bless
This human mess!
God bless, o God bless
This human mess!

Refrain:
God bless
Your people in distress.
God bless
The ones who feel repressed.
God bless
The ones who think they’re less than anybody else.
And God bless, o God bless
This human mess!

Wishing Well

Posted on by

Why is a Metaphysical minister writing a Goddess-centered song? Other than “Because I can!”

It’s because Metaphysics/mysticism and Goddess spirituality are not at odds with each other, if you have an open mind. In mystical Jewish and Christian traditions, the Shekina, Holy Spirit, or Holy Breath is considered feminine. She is Mother, Daughter, Sister, Beloved. She is one with the Father and Son, the Creator and the Offspring, not separate from either, but a part of everything!

A thought: Without a feminine aspect to bear, carry, and nurture, nothing would ever come to fruition!

Wishing Well – Lyrics

Instruments:
Eventide – Mahogany Concert Ukulele
Soprano Recorder

Refrain:
Goddess is the wishing well,
The giving tree, the ringing bell.
From Her all things come and shall return.
Goddess is your sacred wish
From first desire to form of it.
She is Life, and Life is ever Hers.

1. She is every act of love.
She’s below and above;
Mother in the Earth and sky and sea.
She is everything you crave,
All the Will and all the Way.
Words and actions happen in Her Peace.
Refrain:

2. And the Goddess is in you;
She’s your Spirit and your Truth.
She creates and is creation all.
You are here, and you are She;
Feel abundant and be free!
Listen to the answer in Her call.
Refrain: (Twice)

Dance with Me

Posted on by

This could be a love song between people, except that people can’t “save” each other… Beyond that, the dance is a spiritual one, and the love is eternal.

Universal (God’s) Will is done, no matter what we think, say or do, whether we “like” it or not. But when we are conscious and aware of our partnership with the Divine, life flows more smoothly. There are still ups and downs, but they are more balanced and easier to navigate with God-Mind awareness.

To contact and maintain this awareness, we use meditation,
prayer treatment,
communing with nature, music, Yoga, and any number of personal spiritual practices. The key is to connect with the God-Mind flowing through you. Because it is within you, even when you’re not conscious of Its Presence. The “dance” is between you and God, one in Truth, and only appearing separate when the personal ego-centered human mind has focus.

May you dance consciously and joyfully with the Spirit within you!

Dance with Me – Lyrics

Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar

Refrain:
Dance with me, easily,
While I hold you in my arms.
Move with me, in harmony,
While I keep your soul from harm.

1. I am always here with you.
My love is boundless, ever true.
Just let go and see the proof.
Dance with me, I dance with you.
Refrain:

2. Keeping rhythm, taking time,
Waltzing with your hand in mine.
I am here so you can shine,
Touching lives all intertwined.
Refrain:

3. I am here when you don’t know,
Guiding gently as you go.
Never once are you alone.
Dancing still, I bring you home.
Refrain: (Twice)

Dance with me, dance with me.

Scriptures for Meditation and Contemplation

The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things. He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings, that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. ‘For in him we live, and move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.
–Acts 17:24-29*

Psalm 23*

*from World English Bible (WEB)

Movin’ Around – Lyrics

Instrument: Eventide – Mahogany Concert Ukulele

1. I was born in a city,
But I don’t remember that.
I’ve wondered how it was
And if I should go back.
Refrain:

2. I was raised in the country,
And I knew the quiet space.
But it took a lot of time
To go from place to place.
Refrain:

3. I’ve come back to a city
Where things are close at hand.
And in me still the bless’ed Peace,
Because in God I stand.
Refrain (Twice)

God resides in me,
And I’m at home in Him.

Refrain:
Movin’ around, movin’ around,
Finding a new stomping ground.
Keep it going, ever flowing change.
But wherever I go, wherever I live,
There is One I travel with.
Because God resides in me,
And I’m at home in Him.

Standing in Eternal Mind

Posted on by

Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar

1. You have a purpose for being here,
Even when it doesn’t seem to be very clear.
In the Cosmic Mind,
You are well defined.
Listen deep inside and you will hear.
Refrain:

2. You have a reason for being you,
Even when you don’t know what to say or do.
In the Mind that knows,
Feelings ebb and flow.
Listen to the quiet coming through.
Refrain:

3. You have a Power that loves and guides.
Even when you cannot be convinced It abides.
Whisp’ring at your core
Is God that’s Life and more.
Listen to the gentle Voice inside.
Refrain: (Twice)

Refrain:
Put one foot forward,
Moving on.
No, you won’t be here for long.
Take one step farther,
Keeping time.
Standing in Eternal Mind.

Within Dependent

Posted on by

Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar

1. We can never freely be
Unless we freely let the others live.
We’re not given to receive
Until we let it all go and forgive.
And there is freedom from the limitations
Of this world we’re in.
It only comes in quiet Love
And seeing through the Mind of God within.
Refrain:

2. We can never make the rules
Or rule another person on their way.
We are just a pack of fools
Who put our foolishness out on display.
And there is freedom from the narrow bondage
Of this world we’re in.
It only comes in quiet Love
And seeing through the Eyes of God within.
Refrain:

3. We can never be ourselves
Unless we find the Self of Peace inside.
Our independence is a well,
Dependent on the only God of Life.
And there is freedom from the stormy waters
Of this world we’re in.
It only comes in quiet Love
And seeing through the Heart of God within.
Refrain:

Refrain:
Dependent on the One who made us all!
Within, dependent on the Answer to our call!

Pour out Your Presence

Posted on by

In memory of Nancy Abercrombie, who poured out God’s Presence through music for many wonderful years.

Instruments:
Eventide – Mahogany Concert Ukulele
Soprano Recorder

1. My body is a vessel
Sailing on the waves.
It has lost direction,
Been tossed and blown astray.
And though the ship is sinking,
I can see the stars.
They light the sea of changes
And shine within my heart.
So
Refrain:

2. My body is a cup
Waiting to be filled.
It has known despair
And felt the empty chill.
And though the cup is broken,
It reflects the Light.
The wayshower of freedom,
The Christ in me is bright.
So
Refrain:

3. My body is a Temple
Where Your Truth abides.
And may my doors be open
To worship You inside.
‘Cause You are my foundation,
Building me on earth
Even as in Heaven
Through life and death and birth.
So
Refrain:

Refrain:
Fill me with Your Love!
Touch my soul of clay!
Bless my heart and mind,
So I may pour out Your Presence each day!

And lives within them even when they wonder what’s the use.

And purples
And every color you have never seen.

Look What God Has Done!

Posted on by

Instrument: Eventide – Mahogany Concert Ukulele

1. Look what God has done!
Inspired and made you one
With all that is above
And all that is below,
With earth and moon and sun,
And tides that ebb and flow!
Look what God has done!

2. Look what God can see!
All of eternity!
The puzzle that is whole,
The image real and true,
The path of every soul,
The beauty that is you!
Look what God can see!

3. Look what God has blessed!
The journey to his rest!
The road that’s hard to take,
The inner Light that shines,
The step that is in faith,
The Love that frees the mind!
Look what God has blessed!

4. Look what God has done!
Created you as one!
With Jesus Christ who came,
And every noble fruit,
The Kingdom’s yours to claim,
‘Cause God-life is your root!
Look what God has done!

Look what God has blessed!
Look what God can see!
Look what God has done
Here in you and me!
