Be Lifted Up

Lift up your heads, O you gates!
And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.
–Psalm 24:7 (NKJV)

Instrument: Brio – Red Cedar Concert Ukulele

1. Lift your voice and sing! Sing!
Let your Spirit ring! Ring!
And the King of glory shall come in!

2. Lift your head and see! See!
Let your mind be free! Free!
And the King of glory shall come in!

3. Lift your hands for more! More!
Let your feet be sure! Sure!
And the King of glory shall come in!

4. Lift your heart and know! Know!
Let God make you whole! Whole!
And the King of glory shall come in!

Repeat 3, 2, 1.

Trinity

Instrument: Brio – Red Cedar Concert Ukulele

1. On earth and sea and in the sky,
We live and move and breathe.
Yet taking from them as we do,
We separate the three.
The Tree of Life and all its limbs
Are rooted in the Deep
Creative Mind where all abides,
Including you and me.
Refrain:

2. The body, mind and spirit,
Your holistic sacred three,
Yet even as we care for them,
We look at specialties.
The body of the physical,
The mind’s activity,
The precious soul that’s yours alone
And makes your life complete.
Refrain:

3. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The Christian Trinity,
Yet who they are and what they do,
Not everyone agrees.
If we would look inside and trust,
Then we might plainly see
The greatness of the boundless Love
That brings it all to be.
Refrain:

O keep in mind the oneness link
Connecting every part.

Refrain:
We specialize and criticize,
Just knowing one small piece.
We label, compartmentalize,
And work to find relief.
But there’s a kink in what we think
And every box we mark.
We fast forget the oneness link
Connecting every part.

The Truth We Tell

Instrument: Brio – Red Cedar Concert Ukulele

1. Knowledge is amazing,
And the mind is like a sponge.
It soaks up information
Every time we take a plunge.
But knowledge, it is meaningless
Without the One True Guide.
So let a greater Mind than this
Direct the learning tide!
Refrain:

2. The work we do is critical;
We have a purpose here.
And when we give our very best,
Success is always near.
But we are not machines to push
For games and greed and guile.
O may we serve the Universe
And touch the inner sky!
Refrain:

3. We’re dressing up and acting out
Without the Star of Love.
The curtain’s closed, and all is dark.
Then shines a Light above!
The part we play on any stage,
This whole identity,
Is fleeting till we claim the Truth
And let It set us free!
Refrain:

Releasing pain and fear
To fill us with the Light!

Refrain:
‘Cause the truth we tell is fact,
but black and white make grey.
There’s more to us than that;
O let us find the Way!
Eternal Love so clear
Is burning deep inside,
Releasing pain and fear
To fill us with the Light!

Song of the Sea

Instrument: Brio – Red Cedar Concert Ukulele

1. A carefree place to go and play,
A peaceful spot to watch and pray.
The beach so full of ebb and flow
Reminds us of the Truth we know.

Refrain 1:
And when you touch the shells,
Remember all is well.
O hear the sea inside
And deep within your mind.
It’s flowing free and long and strong,
The oneness of the sea in song.

2. The shells that we collect and keep,
We think are beautiful to see.
So many shapes and colored hues,
But none more beautiful than you.
Refrain 1:

3. And when we go back home to live,
We take along the sandy sieve.
Releasing all the thoughts that bind
To cleansing tides of heart and mind.

Refrain 2:
No need to touch the shells
To know that all is well.
The sea of Life inside
Is calm within your mind.
It’s flowing free and long and strong,
The oneness that is you in song.

Come unto Me – Metaphysical Song

God Bless this Human Mess

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.

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!

This human mess!

Your people in distress.
God bless
The ones who feel repressed.

The ones who think they’re less than anybody else.
And God bless, o God bless
This human mess!

Wishing Well

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)

Movin’ Around

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*

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.

Pour out Your Presence

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!
