That We Might See
01:20
|

Lord grant us eyes that we might see
Within the seed a mighty tree
Within the glowing egg a bird
Within the shroud a butterfly
Then taught by such as these we see
Beyond all creatures it is thee
And listening for thy tender voice
We hear "fear not for it is I"

Yes I Knew
03:20
|
|||
Oh Lord, when you called me did you know
My heart was dejected thro’ and thro’?
Still longing for my captor’s land
Where vineyards and melons grow
Yes I knew, yes I knew
And I called you still, and I called you child
Yes I knew, yes I knew
And I call you now, precious child
But Lord, when you chose me did you know
How marred I was and withered too?
No rose for sweetness, no virtue in me
Timid and rash, hasty, slow
Yes I knew, yes I knew
And I chose you still, and I chose you child
Yes I knew, yes I knew
And I choose you now, precious child
My Lord, when you loved me did you know
How weak were my efforts and how few?
Tepid to love and helpless to do
Jealous to reap, slack to sow
Yes I knew, yes I knew
And I loved you still, and I loved you child
Yes I knew, yes I knew
And I love you now, precious child
Good Lord, who knows all that I cannot know
You dare to know my false my true
My new, my old; good Lord how could you
Love if you’ve known me so?
Yes I knew, yes I knew
Oh I knew you then, yes, I knew you child
Yes I knew, yes I knew
And I know you now, precious child

Center
04:38

You who were the center of a stable
With saints and harmless cattle for your court
Grant us lowliness
You who were the center of the Temple
With doves and elder saints your company
Grant us purity
You who were the center of all waters
At your washing in the river Jordan
Grant us holiness
You who were the center of the mountains
Upon the hillside of Beatitude
Grant us seats with you
You who were the center of all harvests
on the Sabbath in the fields of wheat
Grant us gathering
You who were the center of all feasting
Within the upper chamber breaking bread
Grant us thanksgiving
You who were the center of all sorrow
Within the gardens of Gethsemane
Grant us perfect peace
You who were the center of all the whole earth
Upon a wretched cross in Calvary
Reign over all things
You who were the center of all living
Within the womb of death your borrowed tomb
Remember we are dust
You who were the center
Remember us
Remember all
Our all in all
Our all in all
Remember us
When you come
Into your Kingdom
Our all in all

Voices
02:43
|
|||
Voices from above and from beneath
Voices of creation near and far
Voices out of life and out of death
From infinite space
Sun, moon, star
One and whole offering praise
For love is now and love is our end
Heaven, earth and sea all aspring
Joyful all living things therein
Filled to fullest overflow they sing
Still onward swell
Still begin
Never tire to praise you well
For love is now and love is our end
For we all must fall silent in awhile
Though now we sing our songs so sweet and rare
Sun ourselves today, keep peace and smile
And let love upward
Send our prayer
For love is now and love is our end
For love is now and love is our end

No Other Name
02:35
|
|||
No other lamb, no other name
No other hope in heaven earth or sea
No hiding place from guilt or shame
None besides thee
My faith burns low, my hope burns low
My heart's desire cries out in me
By the deep roar of want and woe
I cry out to thee
I cry out to thee
Oh you are life though I am dead
You are love's fire however cold I may be
I have to heaven, I have no rest
No home besides thee
No home besides thee
