Blessings on the day born of night
Blessings on the earth wedded to heaven

irish blessing
03:03
|
|||
May the blessings of the great rains be on you
May they beat upon spirit and wash it fair and clean
And leave there many a shining pool
Where the blue of heaven shines
And sometimes a star

be patient with me
04:59
|
|||
Be patient with me
I’m tossed in the foam at the edge of the sea
You stand on your rock
But I choose to stay in the sea
I live on the wave’s edge
Where sea, sand, and sky are mixed together
Tossed head over heels in the surf of the sea
I catch only glimpses of any fixed horizon
I stay there from choice for it’s exciting and free

our life is love
04:28
|
|||
Our life is love, our life is peace
Our life is tenderness
And bearing one with another and forgiving
We do not accuse
But we pray for one another
And we help one another when we fall
Yes you help me up with a tender hand

I sit by the river
02:59
|
|||
I sit by the river and ponder in a dream
I sit by the river, regrets and fears crowd in
I sit by the river replaying the scenes
And wond’ring how things maybe could have been
I’m thirsty and tired, I’m lost and alone
I need my heart to come home
I need to dip in and drink and swim
To float with the river’s foam
I sit by the river and watch the gentle flow
I sit by the river, it’s what I need I know
I sit by the river and long to be
Where the sparkling water is over me
I know what I need O river of life
To plunge and be carried to sea
To shores that I’ve never seen before
To the place of unity

sleep o beloved
03:41
|
|||
May the father of heaven have care of my soul
His loving arm around my body
May the father of heaven have care of my soul
Through each slumber and sleep of my life
Sleep O sleep in the calm of each calm
Sleep O sleep in the guidance of all guidance
Sleep O sleep in the love of all loves
Sleep O beloved in the Lord, the God of life

fill me
03:48
|
|||
Fill me with the fullness of all beauty
Fill me to the brim till my cup’s full of love
As I gaze upon the sea shore, smell the pine trees
Hear the skylark singing clear so high above
By all of creation I’m filled both heart and soul
As I walk with eyes to see I’m healed and made whole
See the white waves breaking far on the horizon
Taste the salt and feel the wind blow cares away
As my footprints in the sand lead to the water
I feel strengthened and inspired to face the day

silent gathering
02:58
|
|||
We are sitting in the silence of this room
We are searching for the light deep in our hearts
We are seeking for the inner stillness
Where we may hear the still, small voice
And bathe in the light of love
We are sitting in the silent gathering
We are open to the moving of the Spirit
We are hungry for the Bread of Life
To satisfy the emptiness within
And give us true peace, the peace of God
The light of love
|

give ourselves to peace
03:02
|
|||
May the deep blessings of earth be with us
May the fathomless soundings of seas surge in our soul...
To open us to wonder
To strengthen us for love
To humble us with gratitude
May we find ourselves in one another......
That we give ourselves to peace
|
||||
10. |
love of life
03:05
|
|||
May the love of life fill our hearts
May the love of earth bring joy to heaven
May the love of self deepen our souls
May the love of neighbour heal our world
As nations, as peoples, as families this day
May the love of life heal our world
|
||||
11. |
may the road rise
03:22
|
|||
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm on your face
And the rain fall softly on your fields
Until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand
