When Our Heart is in a Holy Place
When our heart is in a holy place, When our heart is in a holy place, We are bless’d with love and amazing grace, When our heart is in a holy place. When we trust the wisdom in each of us, Ev’ry color ev’ry creed and kind, And we see our faces in each other’s eyes, Then our heart is in a holy place. Chorus When we tell our story from deep inside, And we listen with a loving mind, And we hear our voices in each other’s words, Then our heart is in a holy place. Chorus When we share the silence of sacred space, And the God of our Heart stirs within, And we feel the power of each other’s faith, Then our heart is in a holy place. Chorus * Links to the poems selected for the readings for this morning's service may be found by clicking on the links in the Order of Service, above. |
Filled with Lovingkindness
May I/you/we be filled with lovingkindness May I/you/we be well May I/you/we be filled with lovingkindness May I/you/we be well May I/you/we be peaceful and at ease May I/you/we be whole There’s a River Flowin’ There’s a river flowin’ in my soul/mind/heart There’s a river flowin’ in my soul/mind/heart And it’s telling me, that I’m somebody There’s a river flowin’ in my soul/mind/heart We Give Thanks Oh we give thanks for this precious day For those gathered here, and those far away For this time we share, with love and care Oh we give thanks for this precious day Oh we give thanks for this sacred space For both the joys and challenges we face May this holy space inspire us to grace Oh we give thanks for this sacred space Oh we give thanks for this troubled year For those far away and the loved ones near And through our dread may our faith instead Allow us to give thanks for the year ahead. Oh we give thanks for this precious day For those gathered here, and those far away For this time we share, with love and care Oh we give thanks for this precious day |
