Cannot wait to get there
But there’s something that I must do
You can’t say “I love you God”
And forget your neighbor too

Why are you so scared?
If we all belong to Him
Afraid of catching something
It must be from within

One thing that matters
You’ve read all that there is
Show what you have read
And the love they so desperately need

Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome!!!!!
Thank you! I love your texts! Beautiful inspiration!

The Narrow Way
Life is a gift,
The way is individual
No matter what comes
Persevere in the path
“Follow the narrow way”

a short one, but a good one: beautiful advice. Thanks Mary!

Well, in this case brevity is not the soul of wit

Seeing the Lamb—
“If I was only there”
“If I could have seen Him”
If I could only see
The Lamb before me
Personified in people
Far better would I be

“If” seems to be useful
Evading the ordinary
Seeking the extraordinary
Small acts of virtue
Not great acts of heroism
Allows me to see the Lamb

When wilt thou save the people,
Oh, God of Mercy, when?
The people, Lord, the people,
Not thrones and crowns but men!
Flowers of thy heart, O God, are they.
Let them not pass, like weeds, away.
Their heritage a sunless day,
God save the people!

Shall crime bring crime forever,
Strength aiding still the strong?
Is it thy will, O Father,
That men shall toil for wrong?
'NO!' say thy mountains,
'NO!' say thy skies.
Man's clouded sun shall brightly rise,
And songs be heard instead of sighs.
God save the people!

When wilt thou save the people,
Oh, God of Mercy, when?
The people, Lord, the people,
Not thrones and crowns but men!
God save the people, for thine they are,
Thy children, as thy angels, fair,
Oh, save the people from despair!



Lyrics "save the people" by Stephen Schwartz (in Godspell)

Day by day
Oh Dear Lord
Three things I pray
To see thee more clearly
Love thee more dearly
Follow thee more nearly
Day by day

Lyrics of "Day by Day" by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell)

Hope Descends
Just when the world would end
A light from a stable ascends
One winter night, salvation embodied
Clearing out the noise and the mess

Man and God is born
Shepherds and Kings attend
The Fulfillment of their desire
This truth they do see

Now heaven’s gates are opened
For souls just deserving
A seat waits for us
Our place is reserved

The Castle on the Hill
One day while walking
I spied a building strong
The closer I went
The further it seemed
Finally I stopped
And a woman came
Lifted up my chin
In a motherly way
She took my hand
And brought me in
The Castle on the Hill

LYRICS: Song of Bernadette

Written by Leonard Cohen and Jennifer Warnes, Recorded by Jennifer Warnes in 1986
on her album "Famous Blue Raincoat"

There was a child named Bernadette
I heard the story long ago
She saw the Queen of Heaven once
And kept the vision in her soul

No one believed what she had seen
No one believed what she heard
That there were sorrows to be healed
And mercy, mercy in this world

So many hearts I find
Broke like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo
I just want to hold you
Won't you let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do

We've been around, we fall, we fly
We mostly fall, we mostly run
And every now and then we try
To mend the damage that we've done

Tonight, tonight I cannot rest
I've got this joy inside my breast
To think that I did not forget
That child, that song of Bernadette

So many hearts I find
Broke like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo
I just want to hold you
Won't you let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do

An Irish blessing:

May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you

Happy St Patrick's Day!
