Inspired by Medieval Mystic, Meister Eckhart who said, "God is at Home. WE are in the far country..." a really, really long time ago. AND a talk given at Unity Church in Albany by Rev. Roger Mock.
God Is Home
(And We Are In The Far Country)
Song #: 503 | 8/18/2015 | CD: tbd | Tuning: DADGAD
Every day is a relentless miracle
Every day is a push and pull
Every day is a beloved teacher
Who demands to be paid in full
Every day is a friendly robber
Every day is an open door
Every day is a glaring opportunity
Every day is the sweetest holy war
Refrain:
God is at Home and
We’ve been in the far, far country
God is Home andWe get closer every day…
Every day is a dusty desert rose
Thirsty for the evening dew
Every day is a heart still longing
For a Love that’s true
Refrain:
Bridge:
Tomorrow is a “lie”
We tell ourselvesBecause it never arrives
Yesterday’s a dusty book
Upon the shelf
Today is where we live our lives
Refrain:
Every day is a whirling dervish
Spinning into ecstasy
Every day is a candle flame
In the vastness of Eternity

We Are All That Is
Song # 445 | 4/9/2012 | Solo Acoustic Version 11/2020
Can you believe in the love I have for you?
Can I believe in your belief?
Can I believe in the love you have for me?
Can you believe in my belief?
Refrain:
What can we all be searching for
When we are All That Is?
What can we still be waiting for
When there is only now…
Wherever I go I take you with me
Wherever I go I sing my song
Whatever I sing I sing about you
Whenever I sing there is no wrong
Refrain:
What of the fear that we keep feeding?
What of the thoughts that weigh us down?
What of the miracles we fail to notice?
What of the hearts left in the lost and found?
Refrain:
Bridge:
Can we be who we’ve been searching for?
Can we accept that we are more
Than we thought we could ever be
Are we who we’ve been longing to see?
Repeat first verse and refrain

Lyrics:
Rise Up and Dance Life In Song #163 | 4/13/1991
Refrain: Rise up and dance to the light in your lover’s eyes
I have been walking down streets of impossibilities
For so long that I forgot just why I came
I have seen visions I have heard voices
I have done my time in prisons that do not have bars or walls or chains
I have crossed rivers, I have climbed mountains
I have burned my face in deserts where the sun knew me by my name
I have heard music that was drifting on spring breezes 10,000 years ago and I have never been the same
Refrain:
You have been created not by God but by your self
To live the dream that you have chosen to call reality
You might be surprised to find that we are all just actors
We write all our own lines and choose to be or not to be
Refrain:
Tie your shoes tightly and then stretch out your thoughts
Remember thoughts are things like falcon’s wings believe in them
Leave all your doubts behind you, burn all your bridges
I said burn them, burn them, burn them!
Refrain

Beneath The Surfaces of ThingsSong 485 | 7/14/14Oh where did the world go?Oh where did the world goWhen we were singing just now?Have you been jousting with petty tyrants?Shadow boxing with cold fear?Have you been grinding through The old danceLike sand thrown into the gears?Like sand thrown into the gears?Refrain:We are searching beneath
The surfaces of things…We are searching beneath
The surfaces of things…We are searching beneath
The surfaces of things…What would it be like
To love your self?What would it be like
To find your health?What would it be like
To have a dream so hugeIt’s IMPOSSIBLE to refuse?It’s IMPOSSIBLE to refuse?Refrain:Bridge:Sometimes the Spirit Speaks to You in whispersSometimes the Spirit tiptoes Through in slippersSometimes the Spirit …Wakes you up like a rock thrown Through your bedroom window!Refrain:What if everything is perfect?What if friction leads to fire?What if fire prepares the soil?So the seeds can grow
Much higher?so the seeds can growMuch higher?Refrain:Oh where did the world go?Oh where did the world goWhen we were singing just now…Copyright 2014-2020 by Mark Shepard All Rights Reserved
