CALLING
I dreamt a dream last night,
I heard you call my name
and when I woke,
the memory of your kiss remained.
I heard you call to me, I heard you call my name
and in that moment knew you long for me the same...
you’re calling, calling... calling out my name.
Calling in the dark night, calling my name as I cry.
Calling through the wilderness, calling my name to the sky.
And now I’m standing here, my lips are parched and dry.
The longing that I feel for you is multiplying...
A thirst that none can quench is burning through and through,
and so I raise my hands and call, I call to you... I’m calling...
ONLY ONE PLACE LEFT TO GO
I long for you, pray for you, live for you, sing for you,
breathe for you, cry for you, stretch out my arms to you...
ask you to come to me, come take me home
for this longing is burning me, come I pray...
Show me the way!
There’s only one place left to go and that’s inside
I tried the other ways but now,
there’s no place left to hide I feel it calling,
pulling, tugging, tempting me to see...
If nothing else is working, it must be the place to be.
Take me there, I don’t know the way back home.
Show me the way, it’s been so long that I have been, that I have been astray.
There’s only one place left to go... and that’s inside.
LOST AND FOUND
I thought it was over, the journey was through
I felt I had lost my way, ‘til I met you
I had struggled, going around and around
Without ever knowing, that I’d have to be lost to be found
I could not go further, I could not see clear
Lost in shadows, til you came near
And then in an instant, my heart turned around ‘cos there in your silence, I was lost and was found.
You came into my life, you picked me up and led me inwards You gave me strength to stand,
and brought me back to where I started
You looked into my soul, the deepest part of me
You showered me in love and taught me how to be.
They say that the Master’s compassion is so
He is waiting... for his flowers to grow
And when they are opening, he beckons them near
And whispers those secrets, they’ve been longing to hear.
Now I’m lost yet in wonder, I’m drowning in grace
Path’s disappearing, with each glimpse of your face
I look back in wonder, how life turned around
For heart is now longing, to be lost and be found
In your silence I’m drowning, yet there’s nothing to fear
Lost in wonder, now you are near
And I bow to the mystery, upon this sacred ground
For here in your silence, I am lost and am found... in You.
HIDE AND SEEK
When I seek I can’t find you,
though I search you’re not there
from the peaks of my longing, to the depth of despair
on this path I have travelled, with the hope that each mile
that I travel towards you, would our hearts reconcile.
But now weary I stop, no more step can I run,
whether backwards or forwards, no more closer I’ve come,
so I fall most beloved in the dust on this way,
and I cry out my longing, yes I cry and I pray...
Please come find me, please seek me
no more step can I make.
In this heart is such longing, please come steal it, please take.
In this helplessness find me, all I wish, all I care,
is to lay down beside you,
drowned in silence... and prayer.
For what more can I pray? And for what am I here?
When all I am searching, turns to dust, disappears
and I’m left here in darkness, empty hands to the sky...
yet I feel you come whisper...
“There's no need to cry...
you can’t find me, nor seek me tho’ forever I’ll wait.
In your heart I am hiding – you need only awake.
In your helplessness find me,
just one step you need dare.
Simply lay down, surrender...
drowned in silence... and prayer.”
FAITH IS A BIRD
Faith is a bird, who flies into the morning
Faith is that bird, who knows the day is calling
Faith is a bird, who sings her song
though the day is still dawning
Faith is that bird, whose day and night are one.
Faith is a bird, who knows the light is calling
Faith is that bird, who has no fear when falling
Faith is a bird, who sings her song though the day is still dawning
Faith is that bird, whose song I long to hear.
She spreads her wings, she takes to flight
She knows the day is calling
Faith is a bird, who sings her song...
into the morning.
1000 TEARDROPS
When I saw your face,
the heavens opened
I was gone
Then I felt your grace...
a thousand teardrops, falling in my heart
Sitting here with you
heavens open, teardrops fall
Sitting here with you
this silence,
this joy
Sitting here with you
Silence calling, whispers true
Sitting here with you
Falling gently...
You are the one...
IF I COULD FLY
If I could find the key to all I’m searching for,
if I could hold this moment in my hand,
enter into eternity;
if I could see, could really understand.
If just one moment, everything would disappear.
All gone; all patterns in my mind,
an empty page; an open book...all left behind.
I have heard it whispered, ‘We are not alone”.
That in our times of need your hand is there.
And I’ve heard it said that in our heart of hearts,
you make your home, you’re always there.
If I could only capture what you’re telling me.
If I could see; could really make it mine.
These broken wings would fall away,
I’d dance a dance divine...
I would fly into infinity,
dance on the edge of time.
Wings stretched open, heart a flame;
‘cos I would know... I am divine.
In my dream of dreams I saw you standing there;
Your outstretched hand was welcoming me home.
In that moment all that I had ever known,
had disappeared, I stood alone.
Alone I stood and yet, I felt you’re everywhere.
We were as one, although you were not me.
Tears of the rose came showering down,
my heart and soul were free...
And I flew into infinity, danced on the edge of time.
Wings stretched open, heart a flame,
‘cos I could see... I am divine.
WALK IN PRAYER
I just want to walk with you, every moment new,
never for a second more; lose sight of you.
I just want to walk with you, whispering your name,
praying that this tiny spark, can grow into a flame.
I just want to sing to you, cry your name out loud,
every cell and bone within - a melody, a sound.
Help me to remember you, keep this longing there...
I just want to walk with you in prayer.
And tho’ all hopes and dreams are gone
I’ll follow you; I’ll sing your song.
For just one glimpse of you, just one touch...
is enough to carry me empty across to your shore.
I just want to sing to you; tumble to the ground.
Pouring tears of gratitude; disappear in sound.
Help me to remember you; keep this longing there.
I just want to walk with you... in prayer.
THROUGH THE DARKNESS REVISITED
Through the darkness, a candle lights your way
And though the dusk comes,
the dawn still greets the day
And when you can’t see, close your eyes
and look inside and pray
And He will find you,
the one who melts this darkness away.
Over lifetimes, this soul has struggled on
So often helpless, it fought against the storm
Yet with your blessings,
the time has come to stop and just let go...
And to be carried... a feather upon life’s endless flow.
Through the darkness, this soul’s already come
So often weary, it longed to find it’s home
Yet you did answer,
every prayer in trust these lips did ever say,
and so I thank you...
The one who melts this darkness away.
SILENTLY
Silently we wait for you; silence is our prayer.
So many lives in searching, now we find you’re always there.
Silently we meet in you; silence ever near.
So many lives were not our own, but now we find rest here.
Silently we meet in you; silence all around.
Hearts wide open, thankfulness,
for what was lost, then found.
So many lives we longed for you,
A longing burning bright.
For lives we waited for this day, but now the time is right.
We bow to you beloved one,
and tears fall to the ground,
and disappear in gratefulness...
for what we lost...then found.
OUR JOURNEY HOME
Imagine looking forward
A world full of love
Where separation's only
our chance to wake up
The key it isn't hiding
but here in our heart
Right here, right now,
we've only got to start...
our journey home...
into your eyes I'm looking,
I see only love.
I hold your hand in wonder,
grace falls from above.
This world can be a heaven
where all are as one.
Right here and right now,
our journey is begun...
our journey home.
No war, no hardship,
only love and happiness.
Love is the only path into heavenliness
The paradise we long for
it can be found inside all.
In every face I'm gazing,
I see only love.
All holding hands in wonder
grace falls from above.
This earth it is our heaven
we all are as one.
Right here, right now,
the journey has begun... our journey home...
