When the Earth Stands Still
Come listen in the silence of the moment before rain comes down.
There’s a deep sigh in the quiet of the forest and the tall tree’s crown.
Now hold me.
Will you take the time to hold me and embrace the chill?
Or miss me,
will you take the time to miss me when the earth stands still?
Cause there’s no use running
cause the storm’s still coming
and you’ve been running for too many years.
Come listen in the silence of the moment before shadows fall.
Feel the tremor of your heartbeat matching heartbeat as we both dissolve.
Now hold me….
Cause there’s no use running
cause the storm’s still coming
and you’ve been running for too many years.
So stay with me, held in my arms
Like branches of a tree
They’ll shelter you for many years.
Fair Phyllis
Fair Phyllis I saw sitting all alone
Feeding her flock near to the mountain side.
The shepherds knew not,
they knew not whither she was gone,
But after her lover Amyntas hied,
Up and down he wandered
whilst she was missing;
When he found her,
O then they fell a-kissing.
Orpheus with his lute
Orpheus with his lute made trees,
And the mountain-tops that freeze,
Bow themselves, when he did sing:
To his music, plants and flowers
Ever sprung; as sun and showers
There had made a lasting spring.
Everything that heard him play,
Even the billows of the sea,
Hung their heads, and then lay by.
In sweet music is such art:
Killing care and grief of heart
Fall asleep, or, hearing, die.
Little David, Play on Your Harp
Little David, play on your harp,
Hallelu! Hallelu!
Little David, play on your harp, Hallelu!
Little David was a shepherd boy,
He killed Goliath and shouted for joy. [Refrain]
O Joshua was the son of Nun,
He never would quit till the work was done.
Love of My Life
Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart, and now you leave me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back, don't take it away from me
Because you don't know what it means to me
Love of my life, don't leave me
You've taken my love, you now desert me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back, don't take it away from me
Because you don't know what it means to me
You will remember when this is blown over
And everything's all by the way
When I grow older, I will be there at your side
To remind you how I still love you
Back, hurry back, please bring it back home to me
Because you don't know what it means to me
Love of my life
Love of my life
We Can Do Small Things With Great Love
Not all of us can do great things
but we can do small things with great love
I Can Cast a Stone Across the Waters
I alone cannot change the world
But I can cast a stone across the waters
To create many ripples
Barbara Allen
In Scarlet town, where I was born,
There was a fair maid dwellin’,
Made every youth cry Well-a-way!
Her name was Barbara Allen.
Twas in the merry month of May,
When green buds they were swellin’,
Young Jemmy Grove on his death-bed lay,
For love of Barbara Allen.
He sent maa servant to the town,
The place where she was dwellin’;
“O haste and come to my master dear,
If your name be Barbara Allen.”
“O mother, mother, make my bed,
O make it saft and narrow:
My love has died for me today,
I’ll die for him tomorrow.”
“Farewell,” she said, “ye virgins all,
And shun the fault I fell in:
Henceforth take warning by the fall
Of cruel Barbara Allen.”
A Tall Tale
In that sleep of death, what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause.
Truely the tree yields bad fruit
All his senses were locked in his eye as jewels in crystal for some prince to buy
Time travels in divers paces with divers persons
The king is coming, I know by his trumpets
Firm and irrevocable is my doom.
I am thy father's spirit doom'd for a certain term to walk the night.
A cup of wine that's brisk and fine,
a drink unto the leman mine;
And a merry heart lives long-a.
Death Rock
Thy children shall make haste,
for I will condemn with death,
him that contendeth with you.
The House on the Rock
The Lord be with thee and prosper thou
and build the house of the Lord thy God
as He hath said of thee.
Source and sovereign rock and cloud.
On Christ this solid rock I stand.
Die ewigen Stimmen
O sweet everlasting Voices, be still;
Go to the guards of the heavenly fold
And bid them wander obeying your will,
Flame under flame, till Time be no more;
Have you not heard that our hearts are old,
That you call in birds, in wind on the hill,
In shaken boughs, in tide on the shore?
O sweet everlasting Voices, be still.
Day of Fire and Sun
Oh day of fire and sun,
Pure as a naked flame,
Blue sea, blue sky and dun
Sands where he spoke my name;
Laughter and hearts so high
That the spirit flew off free,
Lifting into the sky
Diving into the sea;
Oh day of fire and sun
Like a crystal burning,
Slow days go one by one,
But you have no returning.
Ride on, King Jesus
Ride on, King Jesus, ride on
No man a-can a-hinder me
Ride on, King Jesus, ride on
No man a-can a-hinder me
King Jesus rides a milk-white horse,
no one works like him,
the river Jordan he did cross
no man works like him.
Down by the Riverside
Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
I ain't gonna study war no more
O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing
O for a thousand tongues to sing
my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!
My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread thro' all the earth abroad
the honors of your name.
Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease,
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life and health and peace.
He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
he sets the prisoner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean;
his blood availed for me.
To God all glory, praise, and love
be now and ever given
by saints below and saints above,
the Church in earth and heaven.
Underneath the Stars
Underneath the stars I'll meet you
Underneath the stars I'll greet you
There beneath the stars I'll leave you
Before you go of your own free will
Go gently
Underneath the stars you met me
Underneath the stars you left me
I wonder if the stars regret me
At least you'll go of your own free will
Go gently
Here beneath the stars I'm landing
And here beneath the stars not ending
Why on earth am I pretending?
I'm here again, the stars befriending
They come and go of their own free will
Go gently
Go gently
Underneath the stars you met me
And Underneath the stars you left me
I wonder if the stars regret me
I'm sure they'd like me if they only met me
They come and go of their own free will
Go gently
Go gently
Go gently
