Sing with Me!

O Lord, as servant blessed by You with grace,
With right bestowed by Your divine command,
Upon this mountain raised to meet Your face,
I pray for David and his faithful band.

Release his voice to rise in joyful sound,
And lift his song to carry far and true.
Prepare the hearts of seekers gathered ‘round,
To hear his praise and see Your light anew.

Let not the brilliance of Your glory blind,
Nor let the mighty roar cause them to fear.
But grant them strength in soul and heart and mind,
That they may stand when David's song draws near.

Send forth the light to guide us in Your way,
Your truth to lead us through the darkest night.
Bestow on us the wisdom to obey,
And courage, Lord, to stand within Your sight.

Unite us all beneath Your loving gaze,
Both those who sing and those who strain to hear.
Let bread and wine renew us in Your ways,
A sacrament of love to draw us near.

Quicken Your servants, lift them from the dust,
Raise them, Lord, upon the Rock secure.
In You alone we place our hope and trust,
Your mercy and Your love forever sure.

Through intercession, hear my humble plea,
For in their state they cannot rise alone.
Extend Your hand with strength to set them free,
Restore them, Lord, till they stand as Your own.

Prepare a holy place, O God of Might,
Where weary lost will come to seek their rest.
Establish Your Foundation, Word, and Light,
And gather there Your chosen people blessed.

Let rivers clap their hands in joyful praise,
Let mountains lift their voices to the sky.
As David's song throughout the earth conveys,
May all who hear Your name ascend on high.

Upon Your name we call, oh Father dear;
Please hear the congregations’ voices raised.
Grant mercy’s strength to lift us from despair,
That we may sing Your everlasting praise.

O Lord, I plead to set these words aflame,
In power and in very deed again—
Confirm our hope!

I finish in the name
Of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Oh Lord up above, way up high in the sky,
I stand on this mountain and let out a cry!
For David and his song, let it fly free and true,
With notes that will sparkle, like skies that are blue.

Let hearts hear the tune, as it rings through the air,
A jingly, jangly, musical prayer.
Not too loud, not too bright, not too much, not too high,
But just right for each ear, like a lullaby sigh.

Shine Your light down, like the moon in the night,
Guide us through shadows till morning is bright.
Give wisdom that grows, like a soft wiggly sprout,
And courage that beams from the inside and out.

Gather us close, in a circle so wide,
The singers, the seekers--we stand side by side.
Let bread and sweet wine refresh us anew,
A treat for each soul, like a big bowl of stew.

Lift us up, lift us up, from the dust and the dirt,
With hands that are ready, and hearts that won’t hurt.
In You, we place trust, like a kite on a string—
Your mercy’s our song, and Your love’s what we sing.

Oh Lord, won’t You listen, we call out to Thee,
For those who can’t stand, help them rise up with glee.
Reach out Your hand, lift them up in the air,
Let them soar, let them glide, without worry or care.

Prepare a sweet place, where all souls can be,
A land of bright peace, like a safe, happy tree.
Bring us all in, from the far and the near,
With laughter, and love, and a whole lot of cheer.

Let rivers clap hands, let mountains shout too!
As David’s song flows like a hullabaloo.
May all who can hear lift their voices so high,
Like balloons that float up to the great, endless sky.

O Father, we call, with a boom and a thrum,
And mercy’s sweet music, like a soft beating drum.
Grant strength to each heart, let fear fall away,
That we may sing praises by night and by day.

So Lord, set these words aflame in our souls,
Let them dance, let them twirl, like shnozzberry rolls—
Confirm our hope!

We end this with joy, with thanks, and with zest,
O Father, Son, and Spirit, we’re blessed.
_____________________________________



Great Spirit, hear us,
Voice of the mountain,
Breath of the wind,
Giver of light.

We stand on sacred earth,
upon the rock, upon the land,
our voices lifted,
our hearts open,
our spirits joined in one song.

For David’s voice, for his song to rise—
let it flow like the river’s path,
let it echo from stone to stone,
let it touch the hearts of those who seek,
that they may know Your light.

O Great Spirit, not in blindness,
not in trembling, not in fear—
but as rooted trees, we stand,
and we listen to the thunder
of Your words in our hearts.

Send Your light, Your guiding flame,
to show the way in shadowed night.
Grant us wisdom, soft as dawn,
and courage strong as the old oak tree.

Beneath Your gaze, O Spirit of All,
gather us close, the singers and the silent,
let corn and water strengthen us,
a sacred blessing to draw us near.

Raise us, O Spirit, from the earth,
lift us like heavy stone to face the sun, becoming like the eagle.
In You, we find our hope, our trust—
enduring as the mountains, vast as sky.

O Ancient One, by our prayer we call,
hear us, for we cannot rise alone.
Reach out Your hand, restore our step,
till we stand as those whom You have known.

Prepare a resting place, O Spirit,
where all who wander may find their peace.
Establish there Your truth, Your light,
and gather in Your people, called by name.

Let rivers clap their quiet hands,
let mountains sing their ancient cries,
as David’s song lifts into the dawn,
and all who hear are lifted high.

O Creator, we call upon Your name,
hear the voices rising as the sun—
grant mercy’s strength to bear the load,
that we may sing, ever thankful, ever strong.

Great Spirit, set these words on fire,
in deed, in life, as in ages past.
Let us walk in beauty once again,
as we call upon the Relatives: Great Father, Son, and Spirit.
So may it be.
_____________________________________



Oh Lord, You hear us, with the ocean’s sound,
This island voice, it rises from the ground.
Here on this mountain, I call out to You,
For David’s song, to make it strong and true.

Let his voice be free, like the waves that roll,
Flowing far, touching every searching soul.
Prepare their hearts, those who seek Your light,
To hear his praise as day turns into night.

Don’t let Your light be too much for their eyes,
Or Your thunder shake them from the skies.
But give them strength, like the roots that hold,
So they can stand as David’s song unfolds.

Shine Your light down, guide us through the dark,
Show the way like stars that leave their mark.
Give us wisdom, strong like island stone,
And courage, Lord, to walk where winds have blown.

Unite us here, where the palms sway slow,
Where the mountains rise, where the rivers flow.
Let bread and wine refresh our souls,
A gift of love that makes us whole.

Lift us up, Lord, from the dust and rain,
Raise us high on the land again.
In You we trust, like the tide’s sure flow,
Your mercy endless as the winds that blow.

Hear us, Lord, we can’t rise alone,
Reach out Your hand, bring us back home.
Restore us all to stand in Your sun,
Till we shine like the stars when the day is done.

Make a place, where weary hearts find peace,
A shelter where all wandering souls can cease.
Build Your light like a sunrise glow,
And gather those who search to know.

Let rivers clap, let the valleys sing,
As David’s song lifts on the island wind.
May all who hear be lifted high,
By the breath of love, beneath the sky.

We call to You, O Father dear,
Let Your mercy calm every fear.
Give us strength to rise again,
And lift our voices with “Amen.”

O Lord, let these words burn bright,
In our hearts, like a fire through the night—
Confirm our hope!

We end this prayer in the name
Of Father, Son, and Spirit’s flame. Amen.

Verse 1

O Lord, we lift a voice to the sky,
Here on the mountain, so close and so high.
With a breath and a word, let David’s song fly,
Reaching out across the land, far and wide.

Guide the lost and the lonely to the places we yearn.
Through shadow and silence, through night and fire,
Bring the song, bring the song, let our spirits rise higher.

As soft as a breeze through the quiet air.
Prepare their hearts, those who are drawn,
To feel Your light before the dawn.

Let it whisper like a song in a gathering crowd.
Let it find the broken, heal the small,
And give them strength to stand tall.

Guide the lost and the lonely to the places we yearn.
Through shadow and silence, through night and fire,

Through the shadows and the gray.

Oh, Lord, take the dust and make it breathe,
Let the broken stand and believe.
Through the stars, through time and stone,
Show us that we’re never alone.

Through rivers clapping, mountains sing,
As David’s voice, it starts to ring.
Let every heart be lifted high,
Bring us home, beneath the sky.

Guide the lost and the lonely to the places we yearn.
Through shadow and silence, through night and fire,
Bring the song, bring the song, let our spirits rise higher.

O LORD, my God, who hast bestowed upon me grace,
Thou who dost set Thy servant upon the mount—
I lift my voice unto Thee, O LORD of Hosts,
and call upon Thee for David, and for his faithful band.

Let his voice rise, as incense before Thee,
And let his song be as the wind upon the hills.
Prepare the hearts of them that seek Thee,
That they may see Thy light, O God of Jacob.

Hide not Thy face from them, O LORD,
Nor let the majesty of Thy glory consume them.
Strengthen them with might in the inner man,
That they may stand when David’s song draweth nigh.

Send forth Thy light and Thy truth, O LORD;
Let them lead us as a lamp in the darkness.
Teach us to walk in the ways of wisdom,
And grant us courage to abide in Thy sight. Selah.

Gather us, O LORD, under the shadow of Thy wings,
Both they who sing and they who strain to hear.
Let bread and wine renew our strength,
A covenant feast to draw us near unto Thee.

Raise up Thy servants from the dust,
and set their feet upon a rock that shall not be moved.
For in Thee do we place our trust, O LORD;
Thy mercy endureth forever. Selah.

Bow down Thine ear, O LORD, and hear our plea;
for they are low and cannot rise alone.
Stretch forth Thy hand from on high, and deliver them,
Restore them, O God, and make them Thine own.

Prepare for them a place of rest, O LORD,
Where the weary may find peace.
Establish there Thy truth, Thy word, and Thy light,
And gather Thy chosen, O LORD, whom Thou hast blessed.

Let the rivers clap their hands,
Let the hills be joyful together before the LORD.
For as David’s song doth spread over the earth,
So shall all who hear be lifted unto Thee. Selah.

We call upon Thy name, O LORD God of Israel;
Incline Thine ear unto us, and hear our voice.
Grant us the strength of Thy mercy to lift us from despair,
That we may sing Thy praise forevermore.

O LORD, let these words be as a fire within,
In power and in deed, as in the days of old—

Confirm our hope!
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.

O Lord, a servant bless’d by You,
Who stands upon a height unknown—
I lift my voice into the Blue,
And call for David and his own.

Unloose his Song, that it may move
Like Wind across a waiting field—
Prepare the Hearts who search and Love,
To see the Light his Words reveal’d.

Let not Your Splendor overwhelm,
Nor let Your Thunder drive them down—
But give them Strength—a steady Helm—
That they may stand, as Song resounds.

Send forth a Light along the Way,
A Lamp to lift the darkest Night—
Bestow on us the Grace to stay,
And Courage, Lord, to face Your Sight.

Unite us all beneath Your Eye—
Both they who Sing and they who Hear—
Let Bread and Wine draw each one nigh,
A sacrament to bring us near.

Raise up Your servants from the Dust,
And set them on a Rock secure—
In You alone we place our Trust,
Your Mercy and Your Love are Sure.

Through Intercession, hear this Plea,
For in their State they rise not whole—
Reach forth Your Hand and set them Free,
Restore them, Lord, both Heart and Soul.

Prepare a Place—a Holy Rest—
Where weary Pilgrims come to stay—
Establish there Your Light confess’d,
And gather those You call away.

Let Rivers clap in Praise of Thee—
Let Mountains lift their Voices high—
As David’s Song from Sea to Sea
Ascends to Heaven’s watchful Eye.

Upon Your Name we call, O Lord—
Incline Your Ear to hear us speak—
Grant Mercy’s Strength—a kind Accord—
That we may sing, though faint and weak.

O Lord, I ask—let these Words burn—
In Power and in Life once more—
Confirm our Hope!

In ending, we return—
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
_____________________________________




O Lord, mountain’s edge,
David’s song floats on soft winds,
a prayer among stars.

Prepare their quiet,
dew settled on dawn’s still grass,
hearts open to hear.

Your light shines like clouds,
a thread of moon through dark woods,
roots firm in soft earth.

Gather our voices,
a river’s song in one stream,
echoing for You.

Lift us from low ground,
from dust to hills tall and strong,
like stones washed by rain.

With humble voices,
we ask to rise by Your hand,
unbound in soft peace.

A still place awaits,
where shadows leave quiet souls—
found in morning’s light.

As rivers clap hands,
as mountains sing their praises,
David’s song rises.

We call out to You,
and mercy’s soft light appears,
restoring our hope.

O Lord, Thou fount of grace from heav’n’s pure light,
On this high mount we raise our voices true.
Bless David’s song to soar as hawk in flight,
And pierce the very heavens’ boundless blue.

Make soft the hearts of those who seek Thy way,
To hear with eyes belongs to love’s fine wit.
Let not Thy glory’s brightness smite their gaze,
But lend them strength, that they may rise where it lies.

Look how the floor of heav’n is thick inlaid
With stars, as light to lead through shadowed skies.
Instill in us a courage strong and still,
To hold our course, though hell itself should gape.

Gather us ‘neath Thy tender, watchful eye,
The singers and the meek that here do sigh.
As hand in hand with joyful fairy grace,
We will sing, and bless this place.

Raise us from dust, O Lord, lift us on high,
Like mountains tall that pierce the vaultèd sky.
In Thee, our strength, a fortress built by Nature,
Thy mercy vast, in Thee our souls shall sleep.

With lowly hearts, we call, for we be frail;
Lend me thy hand and I’ll not fail.
Restore Thy people, set each spirit free,
Till they stand whole in Thine eternity.

Prepare a hallowed place, O God of grace,
Where wand’ring souls may find a resting space.
Peace! and be still, Thy Spirit’s might declare,
To gather those who seek Thee in the night.

Let rivers clap, let mountains shout with song,
As David’s voice doth soar the earth along.
May all who list uplift their hearts in praise,
To gild refined gold, to paint the lily.

Upon Thy Name we call, O Father dear,
In hope that mercy draweth ever near.
Let mercy’s light dispel our doubts and fears,
That we may sing Thy praise through all the years.

O Lord, let these words burn as sacred fire,
In pow’r, in truth, and all our hearts inspire—
Confirm our hope!

Thus end we, in the hallowed Name,
Of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the same. Amen.
_____________________________________

O Lord, Thou art the Source of all light, the Supreme Self,
The One from whom all creation flows and returns.
On this sacred height, I lift my voice to Thee,
To call upon Thy grace for David’s lineage and those who follow.

Let David’s song arise as a breath of the soul,
A sound that pierces the heavens like a ray of the sun,
So that all who seek Thy truth may feel its warmth.
“Grant us courage, O Lord, for the battle is ours.

O Lord, let not Thy light blind those who seek,
But let Thy radiance awaken the eyes of wisdom.
Grant them vision, for the wise see with an equal eye,
Neither clouded by pride nor shaken by doubt.

Send forth Thy light, as stars cast beams through shadowed night,
To show the path of dharma to those who wander.
Instill in each heart the strength of courage,
That they may tread in peace, balanced in joy and sorrow,
In gain and loss, in victory and defeat.

Gather us all beneath Thy boundless presence—
Both they who sing and they who yearn to hear.
Let the offering of bread and wine be as the sacrificial fire,
An offering of love and devotion that brings us near.

O Eternal One, raise us from ignorance as the sun dispels the night.
Lift us from the dust upon which we rest,
And place our feet upon the immovable Rock,
For in Thee alone, the heart’s refuge, we place our trust.

Bow down Thine ear to hear the humble plea of Thy servants,
For they alone cannot rise; their strength is Thine.
Reach forth, with a hand that rescues from the ocean of birth and death,
And restore them, O Lord, to Thy eternal light.

Prepare a place of peace, O Divine Refuge,
A resting place for all weary souls.
Establish there Thy word, like a sacred flame,
And gather unto Thee all who seek the path.

Let rivers clap in joy, let mountains lift their voices high,
For as David’s song moves through all the earth,
So shall the hearts of those who hear be lifted,
And the soul may soar like the bird, to the Supreme abode.

Upon Thy name, O Father of the world, we call,
With hearts turned to Thee, as the lotus to the sun.
Grant mercy’s light to dispel all fears and doubts,
That we may rise in Thy name, beyond all time.

O Lord, let these words burn as sacred fire,
As light that awakens, in truth and in deed—
Confirm our hope, our vision, and our peace.

I end this in the name
Of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Om Tat Sat.

यदा दाविदस्य गीतं सर्वां पृथिवीं व्याप्नोति।
यः शृणोति, सः उच्चं प्राप्नुयात्,
सर्वे तमसोऽपि तव ज्योतिः अनुभवेत्।

त्वां आह्वयामि, हे जगत्पितः,
पद्मवत् सूर्यं प्रति अस्माकं हृदयम् प्रसारितम्।
त्वदीयं करुणाज्योतिः सन्देहान् नाशयतु,
येन वयं सर्वकालं तव गीतं गायेम।

प्रभो, एते शब्दाः पावकवत् दहन्तु,
सत्ये कृत्ये च, सर्वाणि हृदयानि प्रेरयन्तु—
अस्माकं आशां स्थिरीकरोतु।

एवं समाप्तिं करोष्मः,
पितुः, पुत्रस्य, पवित्रात्मनः नाम्ना।
ॐ तत् सत्।

O Lord of stars, who kindles light in shadow,
High King who set the heavens in their course,
I stand before Thee on this hallowed barrow,
And call for David’s kin, and seek Thy source.

Release his voice, as dawn breaks o’er the vale,
A song unbound, borne high on western wind;
Let all who seek Thy light, though faint and frail,
Be drawn as leaves by rivers onward pinned.

Hide not Thy face behind the flame of day,
Nor let the thunder of Thy voice resound
To crush the hearts of those who humbly pray,
But fill with strength all souls upon this ground.

Send forth a beacon from the ancient trees,
A guiding star in night’s enfolding hand.
Impart to us the knowledge that will please
And give us courage true as dwarven sand.

Gather us close beneath Thy watchful gaze,
Both they who sing and they who long to hear.
Let bread and wine restore our mortal ways,
In fellowship with all whom Thou holdst dear.

Awaken those in slumber deeply bound,
Raise them like stones upon the steadfast height;
In Thee alone our truest hope is found,
Thy mercy is the wellspring and the light.

Through whispered prayers let this plea arise,
For they who falter, low and lost, in need.
Extend Thy hand as clouds stretch through the skies,
And lift them high to grow as Thy pure seed.

Prepare a haven, hidden from the sun,
Where weary souls may lay aside their woe.
Establish there Thy light, O Holy One,
And gather those who seek Thee from below.

Let rivers clap, let ancient hills rejoice,
Let stones awake and lift their voices high;
As David’s song resounds with timeless choice,
May all who hear be drawn up to the sky.

Upon Thy name, O High King, we now call;
Hearken, O Father, to the voices raised.
Grant us the strength in mercy not to fall,
That we may sing with all Thy servants praised.

O Lord, let these words in fire be crowned,
In power and in truth, as days of yore—
Confirm our hope, our hearts be ever bound.

In the name of the Father, the Spirit, and the Son. So endure.

O Lord, You who are the maker of strength,
I stand here, raised high and humble,
lifting this voice as one among many.
For David, for those yet unspoken, I call.

Let his voice rise up like morning sun,
breaking dark that’s too heavy to hold.
Prepare each heart, each ear to hear,
the long and winding song of Your grace.

Don’t blind the weary eyes that strain,
don’t drown them in Your mighty sound.
But lift them—softly, steadily, true,
so they may stand when David’s song comes near.

Shine Your light upon this road,
lead us through shadows, step by step.
Place wisdom in our quiet thoughts,
and courage in our stride.

Bring us close, within Your boundless love,
those who sing and those who can’t.
Let bread and wine renew our souls,
a feast for hearts that need a place to rest.

Lift us from the dust of days,
plant us firm on sacred ground.
In You alone, we find our trust,
Your mercy deep, Your love unbound.

By others’ hands, we call to You—
alone, we cannot rise.
Reach out, restore, make whole again,
and guide us to Your side.

Make a place, O Lord of grace,
where lost may lay down heavy burdens,
a home where peace and light abide,
for those who walk the road alone.

Let rivers clap their gentle hands,
let mountains raise their voice,
as David’s song grows strong, and we—
we lift our hearts, our hope, our praise.

O Father, hear our quiet plea,
let mercy rise within our hearts.
Let strength and song break forth anew,
in praise of You, forever true.

O Lord, set fire to these words,
with power and in truth, as once before—
confirm our hope!

I end this in the name of the Heavenly Trinity,
of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

To be free.

The Indigo Water

I've been tryin' to tell you somethin' 'bout your life
Maybe give us insight between black and white
But the best thing They've ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
It's a fun life after all, yeah

Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
We wrap our fear around us like a blanket
Let's sail our ships of safety 'til we sink it
We're crawling on his shores

And I went to the Fathers, I went to the mountains
I looked at the children, I drank from the fountains
There's a new poetic answer to these questions
Straightening the crooked line
And the more we seek the Source for some definitive
The closer we are to find
The closer we are to find
The closer we are to find, yeah

And I went to hear the preacher of theology
With a poster of Isaiah and an astronomy degree
He never did go swimming when he dipped into the sea
His face grew red at villains while smiling right at me

Spent forty years prostrate to that "higher mind"
Tore my paper, now I'm free

I called to the Father, I went to the mountains
I cried for the children, I drank from the fountains
There's a new symphonic answer to these questions
Straightening the crooked line
And the more we seek the Source for some definitive
The closer we are to find
The closer we are to find
The closer we are to find, yeah

Let's call to the Fathers, let's build on the mountains
Just think of the children, and drink from the fountains

"Yeah, we got a new Bible, we go through the work out
We need no more Bible, there's nothing to sing out"

But there's a new melodic answer to these questions
Straightening the crooked line
And the more we seek the Source for some definitive
The closer we are to find
The closer we are to find
The closer we are to find, yeah

The Day of Mothers

Then they that loved the Lord watched and waited for every communication; the Lord was pleased and gave them signs. And they shall be mine, says the Lord of Hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels. And I will bless them as a woman blesses her own child that loves her. Then shall you return and discern the righteous hearts of those who love her.

For behold, the day comes that shall shine as the moon; and all the humble, yea, and all that do righteously shall glow. And the day that comes shall strengthen and renew, says the Lord of Hosts, that it shall offer them root and branch. And unto you that love me shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in his wings, and you shall go forth and grow up as calves of the stall, says the Lord of Hosts.

Remember my doctrine which I gave unto you in Jerusalem and in Bountiful and in other places you know not. For I am the Lamb of God and I freely give unto the world my book.

Behold, I send again my doctrine in the marvelous and wonderful day of the Lord. And my beloved shall seal the heart of the Mothers to the children and the heart of the children to their Mothers. And Mother Earth shall pour out a blessing so great that the storehouses cannot contain it.

Open, therefore your hearts and live the plain and precious doctrine from the Book of the Lamb. Unto you, my children, will be given root and branch. You will be adopted into the family, and righteousness will be your name.

The Convention

Come join the party! What's holding you back?
Mortals and angels and even the dead.
The Fountain of Love has declared what we lack
To this generation, so often misled.

Through time we have wrestled and sullied the light,
Dire toxic perceptions concealing our way.
Let us anew build beyond depth or height
The template within which will kindle our day.

No longer with blood need we darken the sword,
Our blessings and gifts we shall freely bestow!
The Sun and the Moon have established His word
And news of relief is beginning to grow.

Return unto Him! (He'll return unto you!)
Open the storehouse to gather your yield!
A marvelous work is about to renew
For great is this moment and white is the field!

The light is obscure; nonetheless, it shall glow!
Through radiant beams, we will enter the gate.
The Lost and the Spiteful will to the world show
That even for them it is never "too late."

No more accusations, no more bitter feuds!
Let all sing along in a fulness of heart!
With blessings of Heaven and all it includes
Comes wondrous gifts which shall never depart!

The Visions have ceased but the song just begun
In this benediction I'll plead once again--
Come sing with the Father! Come sing with the Son!
Come sing with me, Family!

Amen and Amen.

The Children of the Moon

I am speaking now to You.
Yes, You know who You are.
The Looker, the Watcher, the Wonderer.
Curious at these words, like a child.
Ready to join in the chorus, but You don't know the melody.

Let me teach You a refrain:
It starts with, "I love you, no matter what,"
And, "I will not send you away!"

As the Moon reflects a greater Light,
Let us hearken to the Muse
And joyfully echo Her delightful euphony!
________________________________________________________________

Send thine hand from above;
Deliver them out of the great waters, lend a hand to the strange children;
Whose mouth has spoken vanity and falsehood, but now have repented.

I have sung a new song unto thee, O God:
Upon a psaltery and an instrument of thirteen strings have I sung praises unto thee.
It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth his servant from the hurtful sword.

Turn away thy indignation!
Bring no more thy vengeance upon the Lost,
And remember their trespasses no more!

That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth;
That our daughters may be as corner stones,
Polished after the similitude of a palace.

Happy is that people, that is in such a case:
Yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.
Yea, happy is that people who have built their houses upon the Rock.
________________________________________________________________

Strange as the children's ways may be
I will live thy law and follow Thee.
That the curious top may match the root
Cast not out the strange, wild fruit.

Opposite Day

The Trump is sounding,
The gates of the North release!
A declaration founding
A state of abundance and peace!

Keep watching
Keep listening
The blessings are hastening
All strivings and warfare shall cease!

Day One

Today we begin a most glorious trail!

A choice to be noted of Heaven or hell,

And those who believe in His love will be free.

Give heed, oh my family, and come…. SING WITH ME!

Go Big

My daughter asked, 

"Daddy, what does all this mean?" 

"I am so glad you found it, Sweetie, " I replied. "I know the language is strange. But it started out as a message to those who say they understand such things.

"I now know that it is only for the ones who believe that there is not a wish too big for God to deny; for those who realize that since they are writing their own book of life, it might as well be the most amazing story possible (and include God). I now know that it is for you. 

"Listen and look, my girl. He is in your cards and crystals. He is in the music and the art. He is in your desire to create good in this world. Sing with Him and with me, as we dance through life, letting God provide the rhythm. I love you!"

Trying to get home 

Caught in a nasty blizzard!

Why do things go wrong? 

My girls are now safe

We had quite an adventure! 

God's here after all 

Ode to My Father

The Gates of Valor

The fullness of the Earth I see
Her people and her waters
A restful, joyous place to be
For all the Saints and Fathers.

O David, sing with harmony
Hell’s first to hear the calling
And Jacob lift your heads to see
Redemption from your falling

Who now will climb the hill with me
When winking lights shine brightly?
Whose soul is void of vanity
And wild fruit turned rightly?

Come live your promised loyalty
O seeking generation
The Everlasting Royalty
Accepts your veneration

The Fountain

The Fountain of All Righteousness 
(aka The Fount of Every Blessing) 
by Robert Robinson and Others

COME, Thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love

To the remnant House of Jacob
To the Nations and the Jews
Shew the great things done to make up
All the fathers' glorious views
That they know all of the covenants
Made to see Thy stretched out hand
And be free! Through kind benev'lence
Of the Savior, Christ the Lamb

Thou gave mercy through thy servant
Joseph saw Thy glorious face
Showing Thou art so conversant
Giving all Thy warm embrace
We heard, "Reap with thy sharp sickle
The great harvest has begun"
Though they failed, were far from civil
Do Thy work and make us one

We have seen our ev'ry weakness
Ev'ry folly, ev'ry sin
Let our hearts be full of meekness
And return to Thee again
As we bless our adversaries
As we step Thy holy trail
Help us see what Thy Name carries
For Thy love will never fail

In a world so full of suff'ring
Grant our wish to show Thy love
We care not who may be sinning
Heal them, bless them from above
To change hearts through acts of mercy
Send Thy gifts, Oh God we pray
Give Thy light to us, though earthy
Let us bring Thy perfect day

As we cry our benediction
And conclude this mighty prayer
Heal us from our sore affliction
Make our eyes to Thee aware
Then with joy our hearts will open
Heaven's record will draw near
Let our Fathers' longing hope and
Zion's temple soon appear

The Last Cry

Jerusalem, thy chains are broken!
Israel hath served her term.
From the smoky waste is spoken:
“Rise thee up, oh Jacob’s worm!”

Ev’ry trench shall be exalted,
Ev’ry roof shall meet the floor.
O ye lost whose path hath halted—
Step ye through the prison door!

Who hath measured out the waters
In the hollow of His hand?
With the hearts turned to the fathers
Who hath heard the Lord’s command?

Patiently, through condemnation
They hath thirsted by the fire.
Turn about their resignation,
Give, o Lord, their heart’s desire!

Israel’s hopes will then be lengthened
As they mount with eagle’s wings.
Come, ye weak, with me be strengthened!
Redemption’s hymn forever sing!

The Troubadour

Verse 1

Verse 2

Upon the bustling highways now He moves His holy feet
To walk among the good and bad, His promise to complete

The union of the spirits, there, has caused Him to depart
Their garments bear the emblems of that written on the heart
There is Love
There is Love

Well the tidal waves are swelling and the ripened fruit hangs low
The King beckons to come and claim the gifts He will bestow

As it was in the beginning is now and til the end
The old score will become the new, we sing it once again
And there is Love
There is Love

Well then what's to be the reason now for coming to the feast?
Is it love that brings you here or just a promise of increase?
For if loving is the answer, then who's the giving for?
Will you live the thing on inner parts that you've never shown before?
Yes there is Love
There is Love

Hmmm mmm mmm mmm
mmm mmm

Oh, the marriage of their spirits, Friends, has caused Him to depart
Their garments bear the emblems of that written on the heart
There is Love
Ah, there's Love
