Ordinary Time // Part 2 // Week 11 // Nov. 13-19
Hear the birds as they sing night’s song offering
As the world slips into her rest
Hear the wind as she hums
As soft moonlight comes
Singing birds to their nests
We’re awed by the beauty
Awed by the beauty
The world sings to you.
We turn our ears, too. And we sing
Holy, Holy, Holy One
Setting the stars, shaping the sun
Waves, trees and sand
Are the work of your hands
Holy, Holy, Holy One
Your song before time had begun
We listen and hear
Your heartbeat so near
To us.
See the dawn pirouette
Wheat waltzing, still wet
With dew’s kiss on the ground and
See the streams leap and run
Giving chase to the sun
As they dance down the mountain
We’re awed by the beauty
Awed by the beauty
The world dances for you
We want to dance, too. And we sing
Holy, Holy, Holy One
Setting the stars, shaping the sun
Waves, trees and sand
Are the work of your hands
Holy, Holy, Holy One
You, before time had begun
We look and we see
Your heartbeat so near
To us.
