The day God pierced the veil
God proved the saved very
Between heaven and earth
A pinhole to proclaim
The joy of His Son’s birth
Light came pouring through
Into the dark of night
As His word incarnate
As a star shining bright
With our gift of faith
We find the same pinhole
Between man and divine
In the depths of our soul
To guide the wanderers
As the humble and meek
In sharing God’s love
That all wise men seek
Oh light divine
Of sacred view
Oh Lord incarnate
A prayer to pour through
When I’m aware
To seek your grace
I seem to find
It every place
And when I think
There can’t be more
I find that you
Have more in store
And come this day
What we may face
With faith to know
We will see grace
So come my friend
And offer here
Stories of grace
Our joy we’ll share
In this day ahead
Whatever we face
With faith to know
We’re covered in grace
Come my friend, share with me
How we saw grace this day
Come to see, our faith grow
In a joyful way
Isn’t it a miracle
That God can be known
That He reveals himself
Through creation shown
Isn’t it a miracle
Through a virgins birth
That God would send His Son
To save us, here in earth
Isn’t it a miracle
For our eternity
That His Son incarnate
Would come to dwell in me
Isn’t it a miracle
In so many ways
We can see miracles
In each of our days
Let’s live as a miracle
Shining as a star
Because within God’s eyes
We each, truly are
Sometimes all I need
In a prayer to rest
That in this moment here
To know that I am blessed
Sometimes all I need
To find in this place
That I am surrounded
And covered in Your grace
Sometimes all I need
To let Your will be done
Know my identity
As Your beloved one
Sometimes all I need
The Word within my soul
In nurturing my faith
The Lord is in control
Sometimes all I need
Whatever I may be
A prayer of reminder
The Spirit dwells in me
Sometimes all I need
With Your love to share
The calling of Your kingdom
To say Lord, I am here
Always all I need
To be in Presence of
The eternal gift
Of Your precious love
Sometimes I need only to stand wherever I am to be blessed. ~Mary Oliver
We didn’t have to ask
For this world we know
God out of His grace
Said let it be so
And as sin took root
What needed to be done
God out of his mercy
Sent is His only Son
As an invitation
His purpose to our birth
God out of His joy
Gave life to us on earth
But love never forces
He asks if you’d like to
Will you let me in and
Come to live in you?
Sing a song
Of thankfulness

Our God goodness
Sing a song
Of gratitude
One of a joyful
Attitude
Sing a song
Of one body
To welcome in
Gods family
Sing a song
Of peacefulness
To rest within
God’s faithfulness
Sing a song
Of blessedness
Come to receive
God’s graciousness
Sing a song
All fear release

Nourished with
God’s daily bread
Sing a song
Twice as a prayer
For our good God
Is everywhere
Sing a song
Come join along
For in God’s love
We all belong
Sing a song
To God above
The song we sing
Is of His love
A feeling beyond
A deep connection
To ponder within
Waters reflection
A vision conveyed
Of colors and light
That draws us within
A deeper insight
Rising and falling
In ripples of waves
That shimmer and shines
The joy our soul craves
To see our gifts sacred
In a holy way
Our purpose of calling
Of heaven this day
The meaning of life
In blessed ways
One body of sharing
The Spirit displays
It was their hand
That wrote this note
So many years ago
It was their heart
That spoke to me
Their love for me to know
It was their joy
Of grateful heart
In simple things are found
It was their faith
They they did share
In lifes ups and downs
It was their life
That they did give
In sacrificial ways
It is their soul
Thats bound in mine
In each of my days
It is God’s Word
They shared with us
To know that we are blessed
It is Gods hand
That holds us all
In Him let us rest
Savor the scene
Soak in the sky
Bask in the beauty
One of on high
Receptors receiving
Senses and sound
Shades of perceiving
Feet on the ground
Everything sings
Everything speaks
Everything leads to
The one our soul seeks
Present in Presence
Of being right here
Love the Word shared
Of binding in prayer
A battle of silence
Rages within
Of world and the spirit
This day who will win?
To avoid at all costs
The world tries to fill
The Spirit to empty
A choice of our will
Two centers of being
Who will have control?
One of aligning
Both body and soul
A fork in the way
Of a choice, clear
One of distractions
The other of prayer
Let us seek silence
Of the true Word
To follow the Spirit
Where God can be heard
