Pausing in this new day
Before it even starts
Searching for the song
Arising from the heart
In a quiet moment
With our God to share
In the depth of soul
And bringing it to prayer
Be it joy or sorrow
Loneliness or fear
Acknowledging the feeling
And being with Him here
Binding in the light
Let Him dwell within
Listen for the new song
Let it now begin
Carrying the tune
With Spirit of the way
Knowing that He singing
With us here this day
Magnificent
This building great
A blessed space
To contemplate
As arches rise
Unto above
No limit of
Your precious love
Through filtered light
Of windows rose
Your beauty shines
On each soul choose
Through will of man
Each stone is laid
Through grace of God
His Church is made
Soul is left changed
In remnants of prayer
Proof of encounter
Of meeting You here
Peace is the fragrance
That dwells in the air
Tender the moment
Of time that we shared
Holy the light
Of the afterglow
Fruits of the Spirit
That You have bestowed
May the fire still linger
Throughout all the day
In fading to embers
Again, let us pray
A whisper of violet
Is blessed from the night
A gift to the morning
Seen bound in the light
A message of wisdom
For reflective souls here
Of God’s providence
Speaking so clear
Of yesterday’s worries
And fear of unknown
Today is dispelled
The way of God shown
As child beloved
The Lord by our side
Never forsaken
In our soul, faith reside
The day is birthed
In innocence light
The source of all
Lays down, contrite
As day moves on
Intensity rises
Darkness to cease
Dispelling it guises
In dusk descending
A calm slowing down
A breeze of forgiveness
As wisdom surrounds
In darkness of light
On waves set a glimmer
Contemplation at rest
As the moonlight shimmers
Perhaps here a vision
As souls light shines through
The way we reflect
The light blessed from You
We mumble a prayer
Don’t know where to start
Intent that’s sincere
Flows from the heart
We scribble some words
That we all yearn for
Of Presences’ desire
To know you more
We lift a hand
Unselfish the deed
Little act offered
To Your will concede
Soul moves with Spirit
As loves ripple flows
You magnify
More than we’ll know
