A BALM IN GILEAD

Refrain

There is a balm in Gilead

To make the wounded whole.

There is a balm in Gilead

To heal the sin‑sick soul.

Sometimes I feel discouraged

And think my work in vain,

But then the Holy Spirit

Revives my soul again.

If you cannot sing like angels,

If you cannot preach like Paul,

You can tell of the love of Jesus

And say he died for all.

A BRAND NEW DAY

Tune: If My Friends Could See Me Now

A brand new day is here; yes, it is here to stay.

The ones who care across the world are on the way.

It's time for everyone to see for a fact

A global servant force is ready to act.

The dream's reality comes true before their eyes;

The spirit of community is on the rise.

What a moment, give a cheer (They'll never believe it!)

That a brand new day is here.

Repeat


A CHARGE TO KEEP I HAVE

A charge to keep I have.

A God to glorify;

A never‑dying soul to save,

And fit it for the sky.

To serve the present age.

My calling to fulfill;

O may it all my powers engage.

To do my Master's will.

Arm me with jealous care.

As in thy sight to live;

And O, thy servant, Lord, prepare.

A strict account to give!

Help me to watch and pray,

And on thyself rely;

Assured, if I my trust betray,

I shall forever die.

A LIGHT IS NOW BREAKING

Tune: Washington Post March

A light is now breaking, showing the secret that meaning is everywhere in life,

And I am the bearer of the light

A peace is now present, hopes are banished, and care's all gone and nothing's to hate

And self is the only war to fight.

What powerful light, it blinds, it dazzles me. I'm spun in a wildly crashing whirl

Aware that I'm sent for all the world.

And finding the terror peace, I'm silent as never before, I encounter the calm

Of knowing that's held before my eyes.

A wild kind of joy bursts forth, a singing that's free, a dancing on sea:

My life's transformed, bliss unknown before

I'll never live more than each moment in history.

A joy is now leaping forth in ecstasy and gratitude's now the way of life

By happiness struck and all's worthwhile

My death is now here a painful reality. I find myself new, impelled into life

Victorious for eternity.

What rapturous joy, it swells, it consumes me, I'm breathless in throbbing ecstasy

Aware I can die, what rhapsody.

And finding a cry released, I'm free from death, as never before, I'm one with the world

I dive in the endless sea, awhirl.

A wild kind of joy bursts forth, a singing that's free, a dancing on sea:

My life's transformed, bliss unknown before

I'll never live more than each moment in history.

A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD

A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;

Our helper He amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing;

For still our ancient foe cloth seek to work us woe;

His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate, on earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing;

Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God's own choosing;

Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he;

Lord Sabaoth, his name, from age to age the same, and he must win the battle.

And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us;

We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us;

The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him;

His rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure, one little word shall fell him

That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;

The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him who with us sideth;

Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;

The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, His kingdom is forever.

A NEW DAY

Tune: A New Day

I can see a new day, a new day soon to be.

When the storm clouds are all gone, and the sun shines on a world that is free.

I can see a new church, a new church, in history

Where the Word is at the center. and the future ever shall be.

I can see a new man, a new man standing tall

With his head high and his heart proud, and afraid of nothing at all.

I can see a new woman. a new woman breathing awe

In her eyes light. and her heart strong. and consumed with a love for the all.

I can see a new world, a new world coming fast.

Where all men are brothers, and hatred is forgotten at last.

I can see a new day, a new day soon to be

When the storm clouds are all gone. and the sun shines on a world that is free.

A NEW DAY ARISING

Tune: A Bad Moon Arising

I see a new day arising,

I see Cusick on its way.

I see a lot of good surprises,

I think that Cusick's here to stay.

Don't give up the fight,

Our future is in sight.

There's a new day on the rise.

Don't give up the fight,

We're about to see the light.

There's a new day on the rise.

Hope you've got it all together,

Hope you've come prepared to win.

Looks like we’re in for sunny weather.

Cusick is going to live again.

Don't give up the fight,

Our future is in sight.

There's a new day on the rise.

Don't give up the fight,

We're about to see the light.

There's a new day on the rise.

A NEW EARTH ALIVE

Tune: Feelings

Hidden, hidden yet appearing

Earth is risen into view

Come of age.

Changing, transformed life remaining

This world's vision born anew

Now in its time.

See it, oh, oh. believe it, oh, oh, oh. be it.

A new earth alive.

Passions, passions focused onward

Toward the century yet to be

So near at hand.

Caring, daring ones in every land,

Wondering where next to stand

Now to decide.

See it, oh, oh, believe it, oh, oh, oh, be it.

A new earth alive.

Serving. serving all the world in care

Sensing new hope everywhere

As never before.

Standing, side by side demanding

Courage born now of the Way

Shared by all.

See it, oh, oh, believe it, oh, oh, oh, be it.

A people alive.

Repeat last refrain twice.

A NEW LIFE

Chorus:

Spinning my life a new story

Giving a face to the pain

Seeing through all of the weakness

Filling my whole life with passion

Filling the future with glory

Surging within me. a new life.

The world is on my shoulders, it weighs too much to bear

Still, cries of suffering expose my wounded care

Boundlessly claiming from me, taking more than I had offered.

Life's complications plague me, nothing is easily done,

Each new frustration driving deeper the resolve

So easy to give up. but only over my dead body.

My life slips through my fingers, I share the sense of doom.

My longing finds a home in setting spirits free.

Living beyond the border. meaning bleeding from each moment.

A NEW WAY

Tune: Killing Me Softly

Chorus:

Spinning my life a new story

Giving a face to the pain

Seeing through all of the weakness

Filling my whole life with passion

Filling the future with glory

Surging within me, a new Way.

The world is on my shoulders, it weighs too much to bear.

Still, cries of suffering expose my wounded care,

Boundlessly claiming from me, taking more than I had offered.

Life's complications plague me, nothing is easily done,

Each new frustration driving deeper the resolve.

So easy to give up, but only over my dead body.

My life slips through my fingers, I share the sense of doom.

My longing finds a home in setting spirit free,

Living beyond the border, meaning bleeding from each moment.

A PLACE OF GOLD

Tune: The Road to Gundagai

When he landed on our shore, Captain Cook soon learned the lore,

Of the black men there alone.

White settlers soon arrived and they began to thrive,

And claimed it for their own.

Railroad tracks and gold and grazing soon filled the whole land

Carving pathways to the future, a pioneer band.

Chorus:

With the new and the old

We'll create a place of gold,

In the State of New South Wales.

Now the migrants came galore, bringing riches from their shore

Of ethnic gifts from distant lands.

British, Europeans, Asians, bringing hope from many nations

To help us come alive.

No, we are not isolated, the world comes to call,

Every past is celebrated, a future for all.

Chorus

From the Harbour to the Hill, the Murray to the Tweed

Communities are breaking free

Where the steel mills are a‑rolling, the stockmen are patrolling,

There care is sure to be,

Where the housewife and the miner are moving as one,

Where the gifts of all the people will shine in the sun.

Chorus


A STRANGE GLADNESS

Tune: Cabaret Medley

Shocking! My life's anew, vict'ry! Shocking! It's certitude, trembling!

Illumination. Light within' without: I am that light, there's meaning everywhere

And it is shocking! It's all come clear, it is—the other world the other world, the other world.

Nothing to hate now and nothing to fear within the human pain

Oh, it's the other world, my friend, come lay your burdens down.

Moments of rapture and seizures of bliss within the human woes

Oh, it's the other world, my friend, come, live triumphantly.

The other world is in this world

It's part of every life for those who have the eyes to see and choose it.

Living my life and embracing my death within the human way

Oh, it's the other world, my friend. come' dance a happy death!

Shocking! My life's a new vict'ry! Shocking! It's certitude, trembling!

Illumination, Light within, without: I am that light, there's meaning everywhere

And it is shocking! It's all come clear, it is—the other world, the other world, the other world.




ACROSS THE WORLD, IN EVERY LAND

Tune: The Garden Song

Chorus:

Across the world, in every land,

Now the local people stand,

Heart to heart and hand in hand

To create a better day.

Across the world, in every land

Human hope is near at hand,

Human care the one demand

On the people of the way.

They're black and yellow, tan and white,

Brown and red—a strange new light,

A gleam of hope in the world's dark night,

Something new has come to birth.

Local people everywhere

Finding ways to build and share

Finding ways to act their care

For the future of the earth.

Chorus

To build the future's hard and tough,

The future's way is long and rough,

You never seem to do enough

But you can't escape the call,

For what you reap is what you sow

Is still the truth of life, you know,

Have to build the way to go

For tomorrow for us all.

Chorus

You can't look back once you've begun,

You know the task is never done,

The victory is never won

'Til everybody sees

That all the earth belongs to ail

'Til every place has heard this call

And everybody, great and small

Can live proud and strong and free

Chorus

ALL LIFE IS OPEN

Tune: Guantenamerre

All life is open,

Embrace the future with vision,

Die your death for the living,

The mystery has received a.

Our knowledge falters and crumbles,

Our thoughts turn banal and senseless,

Our feelings food n to drown us,

Our hearts cry out, "Push no further!"

But don't stop now, lead us onward

To what we know yet cannot see.


The real word bursts in upon us,

Our cares are ruthlessly tromped on,

Yet our desires are unceasing,

The power pushes us further.

Is there no end to this chaos?

Must separation be final?

Illusions trap us and bind us,

We can't endure endless struggle,

We need our promise of greatness,

Or must withdraw isolated.

Then life demands we embrace a,

That a s good and accepted.

We see our linkage to history,

We see the duty demanded,

Our cares unite n the power,

All life is served in obedience.

We give our minds, hearts, and spirits

To forge the free deed in history.

But we alone can do nothing,

We stumble on in our weakness,

Till we unite in the mission

And structure human endeavors,

For we belong to the movement

That lays its life down for all men.

Demanding every man have

O enter then his gates with praise; approach with joy his courts unto;

Praise, laud and bless his Name always, for it is seemly so to do.

For why? the Lord our God is good. His mercy is forever sure;

From men and from the angel host be praise and glory evermore.

Tune: Who Will Buy? from Oliver.

Who will dare create the new future?

Who will dare respond to the need?

Across the villages and towns

That turn despair around.

Youth and children by their side.

A sense of hope is now emerging.

No way to stop the swelling tide.

I see communities deciding

The future does belong to them.

By corporate effort they are striving

To build the world again.

Final Chorus:

Who will dare create the new future?

Who will dare respond to the need?

All the world looks ‘round for a new sign

So come along with me

Pick up this destiny

So come along and build the sign.

AMAZING GRACE

Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now am found was blind. but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fears relieved.

How precious did that grace appear. the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers' toils and snares I have already come.

We've no less days to sing God's praise then when we'd first begun.

AMAZING WORLD

Tune: This World is not My Home

This world is not my home. I am a stranger here: I’ve seen amidst this world the other world appear

My life is now transformed, though earthly as before, and I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

Refrain:

Amazing world, the Land of Mystery, of consciousness and care and wild tranquillity

My life is now transformed. though earthly as before, and I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

A land of mystery assaults on every side, where death is waiting all, and there's no place to hide

A yearning floods my life, more lonely than before. and I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

A mighty river flows of consciousness in me, a willing child of fate, I live creatively

My life's a precious gift that I must answer for, and I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

A mountain's weight of care, seems strangely light to me, embracing this world's woe, I live responsibly

Proclaiming man's true home I lead them to the door. and I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

The sea is tranquil now' it's wild in ecstasy, refusing my own life, my only enemy

And joyfully I see that I am weak and poor, and I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

AROUND THE WORLD

Around the world I've searched for you

I traveled on, when hope was gone, to keep a rendezvous.

I knew somewhere, sometime, somehow,

You'd look at me, and I would see the smile you're smiling now.

It might have been in CountyDown,

Or in New York in gay Paree, or even LondonTown

No more will I go all around the world,

For I have found my love in you.

Amen, Amen.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

In the name of the Father,

And the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

ASK YE WHAT GREAT THING I KNOW

Ask ye what great thing I know

That delights and stirs me so?

What the high reward I win?

Whose the Name I glory in?

Jesus Christ, the Crucified.

Who defeats my fiercest foes?

Who consoles my saddest woes?

Who revives my fainting heart, Hearing all its hidden smart?

Jesus Christ, the Crucified.

Who is life in life to me?

Who the death of death will be?

Who will place me on His right,

With the countless hosts of light.

Jesus Christ, the Crucified.

This is that great thing I know;

This delights and stirs me so:

Faith in Him who died to save,

Him who triumphed o'er the grave,

Jesus Christ, the Crucified.

AT THE CENTER

Tune: Try to Remember

When you encounter the light at the center, the final dawn of worlds converging.

When life's illumined by light at the center, assured by wisdom's swift emerging.

When knowing's ended in light at the center, and life's sacred meaning is in you surging.

Then at the center, in blinding encounter you be it.

When you encounter the peace at the center where earthly hopes are all transcended.

When life's unburdened with peace at the center where worldly cares are all suspended.

When you're delivered to peace at the center and for mortal foes your hatred's ended.

Then at the center, where no problems enter you be it.

When you encounter the joy at the center, your tingling deeps in animation.

When you're possessed by the joy at the center, all things received with affirmation.

When you are speechless in joy at the center, and each moment brimming with wild vibration,

Then at the center, in wonder‑filled rapture you be it.

When you encounter the life at the center, condemned to be a dead man waking,

When you are boundless with life at the center, compelled to live on water waltzing,

When you are risen to life at the center, a man who is ageless with history walking,

Then at the center, while dancing forever you be it.


AT THE CENTER TRANQUIL

Tune: Shenandoah

Universe, illumination, all unknown, absurd assurance

Everywhere is found life's meaning, and I, I am the way at the center tranquil.

There's no hope, yet all is hopeful, then no cares, there are no problems

No enemies no earthly foes, and I, I am the struggle at the center tranquil.

Pulsing exhilaration, everything's become a blessing

Embraced by joy a dance of rapture, and I, I am the stillness at the center tranquil.

Gloriously condemned to die: life is new, a great resurgence

Community with all the faithful and I, I am forever at the center tranquil.

AT THE CROSS

Alas, and did my Saviour bleed and did my Sov'reign die?

Would he devote that sacred head for such a worm as 1?

Refrain:

At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light

And the burden of my heart rolled away,

It was there by faith I received my sight,

And now I am happy all the day.

Was it for crimes that I have done, he groaned upon the tree?

Amazing Pity! Grace unknown! and love beyond degree.

Well might the Sun in darkness hide, and shut his glories in,

When Christ the mighty Maker died for man his creature's sin.

But drops of grief can ne’er repay the debt of love I owe.

Here, Lord, I give myself away—'tis all that I can do.

BALLAD OF IRON MAN

Tune: The Ballad of John Henry

When Iron Man was a little baby,

Sitting on his daddy's knee,

He picked up a model and a little wedge of steel,

Said, "This model gonna be the death of me, Lord, Lord;

This model gonna be the death of me!"

Iron Man said to Mr. Charley,

A Black man's got to be a man,

And before I'll let you keep me back,

I'll die with my model in my hand, Lord, Lord;

I'll die with my model in my hand.

Iron man said to FifthCity

FifthCity, why don't you sing?

Cause I've got Black Power here to move my wedge,

Just listen to that cold steel ring, Lord, Lord;

Just listen to that cold steel ring.

There's a man they call Mr. Bourgeois,

He thinks he's mighty fine,

But before I'll let his life‑style mow me down,

I’ll go out and change the world with mine, Lord, Lord;

Go out and change the world with mine!

Iron Man hammered out his model,

His wedge was strikin' fire,

He built FifthCity for the sake of the world,

But it took away his life, and he died, Lord, Lord

It took away his life and he died.

So they took Iron Man to the graveyard

And they buried him in the ground,

But he rose straight up, and he shouted to the world

You can never keep an Iron Man down, Lord, Lord;

Never keep an Iron Man dowel

Now the Iron Man of FifthCity,

Is known across this land;

Can't stop a dead man when he's changing the world,

A model and a wedgeblade in his hand, Lord, Lord;

A model and a wedgeblade in his hand!

BATTLE HYMN OF THE REVOLUTIONARY

When there needs be changes made, there rise up a people

Who respond to history by giving up their lives.

Doubt rightness or doubt goodness, as they move on ahead.

Just some die for the living and some die for the dead.

Chorus:

Our Father who are in Heaven, give us our daily Bread

Jesus our Saviour our leaven, I've heard your're not really dead.

Troubles and complaining soon dominate the scene

And through the few remaining a small band carry on.

We struggle, fight and laugh and cry and get on with the task,

'Cause God don't want no misery, our lives are all he asks.

Chorus:

God does what he wants to do, you cannot force his hand.

He gives just what he wants to give ‑ We've nothing to demand

Doubt rightness or doubt goodness, as we move on ahead.

Just some die for the living and some die for the dead.

BE THOU MY VISION

Be thou my Vision. O Lord of my heart;

Naught be all else to me, save that thou art;

Thou my best thought by day or by night,

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner

That I love LondonTown

Because of you our romance had its start,

Because of you the sun will shine,

The moon and stars will say you're mine

Forever and never to part.

I only live for your love and your kiss,

It's paradise to be near you like this

Because of you my life is now worthwhile,

And I can smile because of you.


BEFORE JEHOVAH'S AWEFUL THRONE

Before Jehovah's aweful throne, ye nations, bow with sacred joy;

Know that the Lord is God alone; he can create, and he destroy.

His sovereign power, without our aid, made us of clay and formed us men;

And. when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to his fold again.

We'll crowd the gates with thankful songs, high as the heavens our voices raise;

And earth with her ten thousand tongues,. shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.

Wide as the world is the command; vast as eternity thy love;

Firm as a rock the truth shall stand, when rolling years shall cease to move.

BEING

Tune: Theme from “Black Orpheus”

My life is as

Vast as the sea

No boundaries no

Floor beneath me.

Yet as I look within

No man has greater sin.

I am the least of all

I daily fall.

But it’s then when I

Doubt that I can

I choose to be nothing

For man.

To die is my lot

I live as if not

With Paul

I merge with all.

I see then as

Never before

The secrets of

heaven my store.

With wisdom twice my age

My life an open page

Though with each insight

Gain a deeper pain.

Yet I live with the

Lord on my side

And wild intuition

My guide.

I’m sent as a sign

The bread and the wine

My form

And virgin born.

Then I act seeing

Action is vain

And accomplishments

Never as gain.

To only do is less

Than forming humanness So mission I must be

To set men free.

Called to burn as an Undying flame

Each word and each

Gesture the Name.

I must through life-loss

An exalted cross

My place

Reveal his face

Then the Lord through

My life prays a prayer

And my being is

Filled being there.

I can invent anew what

All the saints once knew

By being who I am

I create man.

And it’s no longer

I who is seen

But the Lord standing

There in between.

Finished as I die

Held there between

Sky and sod

To save our God.

Yes, it's there on the limbs of the worm‑eaten tree where the All and the Nothing can BE.

BELIEVE

Tune: The Sloop John B

Chorus:

Believe that the time has come.

This world's going to iive as one

And people are ready now

To create a new way.

New Spirit alive

New dream on the r~se

One world together

Create the new day.

Everybody can see

A new way that it can be,

But so many things just seem to get in the way.

The chains that bind us are strong.

The road to liberty long

Toward one world together

New earth, a new day.

Listen and you will hear

The future is coming clear

And everybody alive

has something to say.

We share a bit of the load,

Walking down the same road,

Working together,

New earth, a new day.

BITTER WAS THE NIGHT

Bitter was the night,

Thought the cock would crow for ever.

Bitter was the night

Before the break of day.

Jesus He came by

But I said I didn't know Him.

Bitter was the night

Before the break of day.

Told them all a lie,

And I said it three times over.

Bitter was the night,

Before the break of day.

What did Judas do?

Sold Him for a bag of silver,

Bitter was the night

Before the break of day.

Judas died of shame,

Hanged himself upon an alder.

Bitter was the night

Before the break of day.

Thought I'd do the same

Thought the night would last forever.

Bitter was the night

Before the break of day.

Bitter was the night

Thought there'd never be a morning,

Bitter was the night

Before the break of day.

Bitter was The night

Thought the cock would crow forever.

Bitter was the night

Before the break of day.

BITTER WAS THE NIGHT

Refrain:

Bitter was the night.

Thought the cock would crow forever.

Bitter was the night,

Before the break of day.

Jesus, he came by, but I said I didn't know him.

Told them all a lie, and I said it three times over. . .

What did Judas do? Sold him for a bag of silver . . .

Judas died of shame, hanged himself upon an alder . . .

Thought I'd do the same, thought the night would last forever. .

BLESSED ASSURANCE

B1essed assurance. Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine!

Heir of salvation, purchase of God, born of the spirit, washed in his blood.

Refrain:

This is my story. this is my song, praising my Savior. all the day long.

This is my story. this is my song, praising my Savior, all the day long

Perfect submission. perfect delight, visions of rapture now burst on my sight:

Angels descending, bring from above, echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission. all is at rest. I in my Savior, am happy and blest.

Watching and waiting. Looking above. Filled with his goodness, lost in his love.

BLUE MOON

Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone,

Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own

Blue Moon, you knew just what I was there for.

You heard me saying a prayer for someone I really could care for.

And then there suddenly appeared before me,

The only one my arms will ever hold.

I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me."

And when I looked. the moon had turned to gold!

Blue Moon, now I'm no longer alone,

Without a dream in my hear, without a love of my own.

BLUE SKIES

Blue skies smiling at me, nothing but blue skies do I see

Blue birds singing a song. nothing but blue birds all day long.

Never saw the sun shining so bright,

Never saw things going so right.

Noticing the days hurrying by.

When you're in love,

My! how they fly.

Blue days, all of them gone.

Nothing but blue skies from now on.

BOTANY

Tune: “Botany Bay”

As we look at the world in totality

We see many things have to go

Before all mankind has equality

And everyman has a fair go.

So - let red man and black man and yellow man,

Let tan man and brown man and white

Regard everyman as his fellowman,

And then we can say “She’ll be right - mate.”

Carving dreams with creativity

Called to be the POETS

Called to be the miracle workers

Serving with the necessary deed

Called to be the new SAINTS

On behalf of mankind.

Called to be enacters of the victory

Leading all in courage every day

Called to be the GENERALS

Knowing all and pointing out the Way

CALLED TO WALK IN THE WAY

Tune: Put Your Hand in the Hand

Called to walk in the way of the man who stilled the water;

Called to walk in the way of the man who calmed the sea:

Called to live in the Word and be free to live for others;

Called to walk in the way of the man from Galilee.

Hear the Word that's the Word that's been said for all God's creatures;

Hear the Word that's the Word that's been said for you and me;

It's the Word about life you are called to give to your brother;

It's the Word that will give him his possibility.

Well, a voice comes, I hear it saying all too clearly;

"You are my Son” with you I am well pleased!

Got a job to be done and life must needs be given.

Can't promise rewards and your pain will be increased."

Then the Spirit came and said, "Go into the desert!

There's a power—old Satan—he's the one you've got to meet."

Forty days without food out there as a solitary;

Had to decide old Satan was the one that had to be beat.

Got the Word, can't hold it, have to say it‑-it is the gospel;

"The time has come! The kingdom it has arrived!

You must change your hearts and minds and believe this good news;

It's the Word from which the future must be derived."

Heal the sick, chase the demons, say the Word that says "forgiveness;"

Take away all excuses for a life to be lived as dead.

Help each man you meet to make a new decision,­

To pick up the past, live the future with all its dread.

There'll be betrayal and despair and denial—you'll be left all alone;

And you'll wonder if the God who has called has gone away.

There'll be taunts and a hill and a cross all prepared for you,

Then the spear, flowing blood. final words . . . has death won the day'?

Feel the dankness and the darkness and the quietness of this closed‑up tomb!

Feel the relief that old death has prepared for you and me!

But the Lord calls again ‑‑ look! The stone! It has been rolled away!

Time to walk with the pain through the avenues of history.

Repeat first verse

CALLED TO CARE

Tune: I Just Fall in Love Again

Journey, all life is journey,

Or is it only turning round and round and round?

Dawning, it happens now and then

Suffering is revealed and

Opening gates to spirit s realm.

Chorus:

Yet here we are, living life anew.

Dark Night is seen through

And those who care are blessed again.

So here we go,

We live our life brand new

And as we do

We move as one

For we've been called to care

Living, we're fully living

Or are we all upon the sea of dreams alone?

Endless, it all is so absurd

For though we're so alive

It feels we only fight the wind.

Chorus


Myst'ry, it's all a myst'ry

For we are all engulfed in caring for this world. . .

Silence, enclosed in Being's arms,

Dying's now our life,

Because we give it all in faith.

Last chorus adds:

We move as one

For we've been called to care.

CANCION DE AMOR A CANO NEGRO

Tune: Mona Lisa

Caño Negro Caño Negro. te agradezco.

A pesar de tus pesares. tu eres luz.

Caño Negro, Caño Negro. esto es cierto:

Tu has mostrado tiue los suehos son verdad.

Your enduring showed me care I never knew.

Caño Negro, Caño Negro, know for sure now

You have made it just a truth that dreams come true.

Caño Negro. Caño Negro. You are being

Through the deep night to the sunlight.

CARE IS EVERYWHERE

Tune: Love is Everywhere

Refrain:

Care is everywhere, I see it

You are all that you can be,

Come on and be it.

Life is given, you receive it.

Come and be engaged with me.

Open yourself to the great celebration,

Offer your life to its joy and pain.

Life is the fruit of your own creation,

Everything you birth is hope regained.

Taking my life from the golden prairie,

All of nature's gifts there for you and me.

Guardians of the land we have chosen to be,

Sharing the fruits with humanity.

Circuit the globe like a flying stallion,

Race with the sun to the edge of night.

Wear your tools like a gold medallion,

Dance in the circle of its searing light.

Sing again twice

CEASELESSLY DRAWN

Tune: Patterns

From the day we came to care

We have ceaselessly been drawn

To be the homeless ones

Standing presence of the dawn

The New Hope, the New World

Like ghosts around us whirl

Our lives have been captured

By this awesome swirl.

A rocky path in the fog

This march before us lies

Step by step our weary feet

Are answering the cries

The New Hope, the New World

They beckon to us still

And we are left perplexed

Fulfillment does not fulfill

In the darkness of our pain

There burns an aweful light

And despite our humble weakness

We keep it in our sight

The New Hope, the New World

Our presence doth employ

And we are finally wordless

Before this final joy

CHICAGO IS A WONDERFUL PLACE

Tune: Washington Square

Chicago is a wonderful place,

The West Side's where we live;

Chicago is a wonderful place,

The West Side's where we live.

So sing all you people, life is here to love;

So sing all you people, life is here to live.

Chicago is a wonderful place,

Chicago is a wonderful place,

The West Side's where we live. (3 times)

CHLO-E

Chloe! Chloe!

Someone calling, no reply,

Night shades falling, hear him sigh,

Chloe! Chloe!

Empty spaces meet his eyes,

Empty arms outstretched, he's crying,

Through the black of night, I got to go where you are.

If it's wrong or right, I got to go where you are.

I'll roam through the dismal swampland searching for you

'Cause if you are lost there, let me be there too.

Through the smoke and flame, I got to go where you are

For no place could be too far where you are.

Ain't no chains can bind you, if you live, I'll find you,

Love is calling me, I got to go where you are.

CITIZEN’S SONG

Tune: Prinz Eugen

Whether given high position

Born to rank or the condition

Of the poorest of the poor

Whether wearing clothes of fashion

Or old rags you couldn't cash in

These things, these things don't endure.

If we work hard, gain high placement

Or for years toil in the basement

Or we have no work that's sure

Even if we turn out lazy

Damned by all the world as crazy

These things, these things don't endure.

Whether gladly into battle

We march forth, or more like cattle

We are driven to the war

Even if we think we're victim

If the outcome is we've licked 'em

These things, these things don't endure.

But if we build new tomorrows

Gladly taking on the sorrows

Which accompany the cure

Or if all we do is chatter

'Bout ideals that just don't matter

These things, these things do endure.

Whether we are implementers

Social pioneers, inventors

Future vision to ensure

Or if we take the position

That it is another's mission

These things, these things do endure.

If we dare act out our passion

For those left out and to fashion

Ways their gifts can be assured

Or if like a sheltered flower

Frightened in a hole we cower

These things, these things do endure.

Therefore colleagues in our caring

Launch the journey with your daring

With your hearts and spirits pure

Join your hands with one another

Every human's now your brother

These things, these things will endure.

COME AND GO WITH ME TO THAT LAND

Tune: Come and Go With Me

Come and go with me to that land, come and go with me to that land

Come and go with me to that land where I'm bound, where I'm bound.

Come and go with me to that land, come and go with me to that land,

Come and go with me to that land where I'm bound.

There is mystery in that land....

There is freedom in that land....

There is caring in that land....

There is glory in that land....

Come and go with me to that land....

COME BUILD A FUTURE

Tune: Hey, Look Me over

Come, build a future

Caring and free,

Working together, to build community.

Problems around us as far as eyes can see,

But every problem that co

mes along is opportunity

For us to

Move on together

To realize our dream:

Education, jobs for all and water that is clean.

Our BayCounty can be a great sign to see

Of things that can be done.

COME MARCH ALONG

Come march along and we'll sing a new song

Come salute the Way of the dawning day

And death shall have no dominion here

Though clouds grow dark and the sun disappears

Though the wind blows cold we shall rise to

Call forth new children. new women. and new men

Call forth new families' together we shall see

That death shall have no dominion here

Though flames grow dark and hopes disappear

Though love blows cold we shall rise to

Bring forth the tired and sick' the restless and the meek

Bring forth new warriors who care, to build the earth

And death shall have no dominion here

Though times grow dark and vision disappears

Though trends blow cold we shall rise' so

Come march along and we'll sing a new song

Come salute the Way of the dawning day

And death shall have no dominion here.

COME THOU FOUNT

Come, thou fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace:

Streams of mercy, never ceasing call for songs of loudest praise,

Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above:

Praise the mount ‑ I'm fixed upon it,. mount of thy redeeming love.

Here I raise mine Ebenezer; hither by thy help I'm come:

And I hope. by thy good pleasure. safely to arrive at home,

Jesus sought me when a stranger wandering from the fold of God;

He, to rescue me from danger. interposed his precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be!

Let thy goodness like a fetter. bind my wandering heart to thee:

Prone to wonder, Lord I feel it. prone to leave the God I love:

Here's my heart, O take and seal it: seal it for the courts above

COME YE THANKFUL PEOPLE, COME

Come, ye thankful people, come. Raise the song of harvest home,

All is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin.

God, our maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied:

Come to God's own temple. come. Raise the song of harvest home.

All the world is God's own field, fruit unto his praise to yield;

Wheat and tares together sown. unto joy or sorrow grown,

First the blade and then the ear. then the full corn shall appear:

Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be.

Even so, Lord, quickly come, bring thy final harvest home.

Gather thou thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin.

There, forever purified. in thy presence to abide.

Come, with all shine angels come. raise the glorious harvest home.

CONTEMPLATION

Tune: Those Were the Days

When in the midst of strife

The other strikes my life

And that encounter

Will not let me flee

It’s then I honor him

Though he be foe or friend

And I become the

All that is not me.

And in my past I find

The fatefulness of time

But then a transfor-

mation comes to me

I then begin my poem

In mystery alone

And I am Adam

In all History

And the Not-yet I see

Is cut from under me

So fast it comes as

Possibility

Then my reality

Is change externally

And I become the

All of yet to be

And deep within I see

The fact that I just be

And unrepeatably

This one this self

Free passion then I live

My depthless life I give

I find that I be

Being in myself.

CREATE A NEW DAY

Tune: Consider Yourself

Consider the past, it's good.

Respond to the now.

Create a new day, start now,

Set sail, fly, you can work miracles.

When the Continental Congress met those years ago

They made a brave new dream come true:

When the covered wagons hit the trail for Oregon

Men were going to the moon.

Consider the past, its good.

Respond to the now, let's act!

With faith in one another to achieve our goals

Consider a new day, right now!

CREATE THE NEW WAY

Tune: Find a Wheel

Winds of change are whirling round and round

And a new world dawns; let everyone take heed.

Winds of change are whirling round and round

And they call for all to risk a deed.

All the past is but a stepping stone on the trek into this present day

But the future cries for something more, cries to all: create the new Way.

Winds of change are whirling round and round'

And I choose with those upon the Way.

What shall be, somehow, depends on me

What I am, have been and now decide to be

And all those of Way become my we

And this we becomes the larger me.

We the Way in time have ever been, with our now we march toward yet to be,

Ever on, to forge the ever new for mankind in all history

What shall be, somehow, depends on me,

And I’m one with those upon the Way.

Winds of change are whirling round and round

And a new world dawns, let everyone take heed.

Winds of change are whirling round and round

And they call for all to risk a deed.

All the past is but a stepping stone on the trek into this present day

But the future cries for something more, cries to all: create the new Way.

Winds of change are whirling round and round'

And I choose with those upon the Way.

CREATION

A time to set forth a new demand,

A time to look into the past,

For without "what has been," there is no "yet to be;"

Nothing that we do then could last.

Refrain:

We stand beyond our life and see,

We stand beyond our death and really see,

What's required of men who give their death to history;

And it is now that we must do

What other ones must always seek to be,

To discover what's required of us

To set men free.

No more must men live in poverty,

No more in strife‑and disarray,

For when all the men create all the earth,

That shall be the new day.

Refrain

In those who choose to be all there is

Pain and misery are lost,

Transformed because they bring forth human life;

New life never comes but from a cross.

Refrain

The global task now has claimed our lives,

Who knows where our bodies they shall find?

But with us, anew, now the mystery appears,

The meaning of the life of all Mankind.

Refrain

CRESPADORO

Tune: Tutti me Chiamano Biondi

CRIES OF THE EARTH

Tune: Hava Nagila

There is—a people

Born of—new spirit

Hope is emerging—cries of the earth

Hear them—awakened

See them—engaging

Know them a people—called forth to serve

Hunger is everywhere

Rootless and wrapped in fear

Millions in search of something more; a new hope.

Old forms are swept away

Structures are in decay

Suffering invades every life; a new hope

NOW HEAR! GRASP THE VISION!

There is determination

Hope is the proclamation

Humanness the one creation

Unity the demonstration

BUILD THE NEW EARTH!

Hearing, we choose to heed the cry

DARK NIGHT—LONG MARCH

Tune: Les Bicyclettes de Belsize

La la la . . .

When Dark Night assaults my soul and nothing's presence fills the All,

And when the Fire burns out my love, I suffer Death (before I die)

I am marching through the Night, silence and stillness, blackened light,

Trusting that Heav'n will come at last and vanquish Hell.

Wounded so deep by Awe I swoon, oppressive weakness seals my doom,

No place to hide, no will to live, I suffer death (before I die)

I am marching through the Night, silence and stillness, searing light,

Myst'ry has won the war in me. I melt away.

I hear a Voice, "You are my Son, you are well‑pleasing, Blessed one,"

I am the one who's come to life, born of the Fire (before I die)

I am marching through the Night, silence and stillness, filled with light.

Assured that Heav'n has made its shrine in darkest Hell.

And now Dark Night and I are friends. I'll trust the Long March never ends.

For now I see by Fire of Love. I've found the Way (before I die)

I am marching through the Night, silence and stillness, blazing light.

Leaping as one consumed by Fire. my passion born.

La, La, la . . .

DAWNING

Tune: Memories

Longing for the life in a memory

For the joy of a past day

When the future was clear.

Was it a dream, or was life easier then

When the New Day seemed so near?

Restless for the end of this struggle,

For a vision of victory

For a moment of peace.

My life is driven by the suffering world.

Will this heartache never cease?

Darkest night, barely pale moonlight

There's no time to wait for the morning.

Hearts are burning and faces yearning

For a declaration of dawning.

Passion is a love beyond reason,

Is a truth beyond wisdom in a night without words.

Dreaming a dream that is beyond what we see,

For the New Day has begun.

DAWNS THE WORI,D

Tune: Glorious Things of Thee

Dawns the world of aweful wonder, chained to my contingency.

All protection torn asunder. shame and weakness wounding me.

Then there groans a re‑creation, born anew - within recast.

In unfolding transformation pains a passion unsurpassed.

Dawns the world of man's awareness, self‑transcending liberty

Shaping self and world in boldness, sign for all humanity.

Then in lonely free creation, with no map of good or ill,

I decide in obligation. I surrender all my will.

Dawns the world of deep compassion yoked to life's strange harmony

Unrelenting in my mission doomed to die for history.

Bearing every time's long hour, every brother's agony.

I am strangely filled with power wondrous deeds are done through me.

Dawns the world of joyful living, shocked by truth's absurdity,

Earthly hopes and dreams forsaking, I am blessed with victory.

And in raptured self‑denying, dancing in the arms of strife,

I perceive in final dying bleeds the glorious endless life.

DAY BY DAY ­

Day by day.

I'm falling more in love with you.

And day by day, my love seems to grow,

There isn't any end to my devotion.

It's deeper dear. by far than any ocean.

I find that day by day you're making all my dreams come true.

So come what may, I want you to know

I'm yours alone and I'm in love to stay.

As we go through the years day by day.

DREADFUL AWARENESS

Tune: Stout‑Hearted Men

Constantly conscious of dreadful awareness I plumb the abyss evermore.

With knowing intent, my own self I invent and I'm empty as never before,

Bound to my state. I am cast here by fate and excuse has no use anymore.

Man creates the world's design and I become man's sign.

Free, I will to be the self I am in history.

Free from the maze of conventional ways I decide for the right all alone.

My life's approved and my chains are removed, to this world I am mission I know.

I'm anchored fast in my true home at last, and the gods of this world now have flown.

I can feel my burdens lightened though I bear the world.

Free, I will to be the self I am in history.

Constantly conscious of dreadful awareness I plumb the abyss evermore.

Bound to my state, I am cast here by fate, and excuse has no use anymore.

My life's approved and my chains are removed. to this world I am mission I know.

I can feel my burdens lightened though I bear the world.

Free, I will to be the self I am in history.

EARTH IS HOME

Tune: from East of Eden

We have seen the universe

Unfolding slowly like a rose

Beyond a lonely vision of our lives

And filled with awesome mystery and power

This is home.

We have travelled o'er the seas

And walked beside both rich and poor

Beyond our given heritage and hope

We stand with all and summon all to care

For our home.

All of the past

All that will be

The pain and joy

We're part of it all

And we declare to all the world

That hope is hopeful in our time

And call the people out from every land

To care for this, this precious orb of blue

This is home.

EVERY TIME I FEEL THE SPIRIT

Chorus:

Every time I feel the spirit movin' in my heart. I will pray (Repeat)

Upon the mountain, when my Lord spoke, out of his mouth came fire and smoke.

Looked all around me, it looked so fine', till I asked my Lord it all were mine.

Oh, I have sorrows and I have woe. and I have heartache here below;

But while God leads me' I'll never fear, for I am sheltered by his care.

FAR AWAY PLACES

Far away places with strange sounding names

Far away over the sea,

Those far away places with the strange sounding names

Are calling, calling me.

Going to China or maybe Siam

I want to see for myself

Those far away places

I've been reading about

In a book that I took from a shelf.

I start getting restless

Whenever I hear

The whistle of a train

I pray for the day

I can get underway

And look for those castles in Spain.

They call me a dreamer,

Well maybe I am,

But I know that I'm burning to see

Those far away places

With the strange sounding names calling, calling me.

FAREWELL TO NOVA SCOTIA

The sun was setting in the west.

The birds were singing on every tree,

All nature seemed inclined for rest.

But still there was no rest for me.

Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast!

Let your mountains dark and dreary be,

For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed,

Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?

I grieve to leave my native land

I grieve to leave my comrades all.

And my aged parents whom I held so dear,

And the bonny, bonny lass I do adore.

The drums they do beat and the wars do alarm

The captain calls, we must obey,

So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms,

For it's early in the morning I am far, far away.

I have three brothers and they are at rest,

Their arms are folded on their breast,

But a poor simple sailor just like me,

Must be tossed and driven on the deep blue sea.

FASCINATION

It was fascination, I know, and it might have ended right then at the start

Just a passing glance, just a brief romance

And I might have gone on my way empty hearted.

It was fascination, I know, seeing you alone with the moonlight above,

Then I touched your hand and next moment I kissed you,

Fascination turned to love.

FIFTHCITY LOVE SONG

Tune: And I Love You So

And I love you so, that people ask me how,

How I've lived till now, I tell them I don't know.

People say I've changed. that they don't understand,

Ever since the day, the day I took your hand.

First refrain:

And yes, I know how lonely life can be.

The shadows follow me, and night won't set me free.

But I don't let the evening get me down,

Now that you're around me.

And you love me too; your thoughts are just for me.

You make my heart alive and set my spirit free.

The book of life is brief, but once a page is read

All of love is there; this is my belief.

Repeat first refrain

You are City Five, Chicago's old Westside,

Where Iron Men first were born to build a global sign.

Oh yes I know you've changed, and some do not believe

This world has a new day since courage set you free.

Second refrain

And yes, we've known this world's great agony,

The billions still denied their hopes and destiny.

But we will go wherever they may be,

Till all communities live free.

I've lived with you so long, no other love have I,

Your pain is all my own, your buildings, streets and cries.

Soon I may pass away, but love will still remain,

The Iron Man standing tall, that all the world may gain.

Repeat second refrain

FINISH OUR WORK

Tune: I Walk the Line

We are one body with the race of men.

All who are, will be. and e’er have been.

“You must not die,” the dead cry out within,

"Finish our work! Finish our work!"

We choose to hear the cries from history,

Of pioneers in responsibility,

Who struggled for a world they did not see,

"Finish our work! Finish our work!"

We hear the voices of the saints of old

Of martyrs monks and churchmen who were bold

Who gave their lives the historic church to mold'

"Finish our work! Finish our work!"

We hear the coming generation

Demand we will the new formation

Of every local congregation

"Finish our work! Finish our work!"

We are the people of God in history

Who are and were and evermore shall be,

Out of the depth we hear the mystery,

“Finish our work! Finish our work!"

FOR ALL THE SAINTS

For all the saints, who from their labors rest, who thee by faith before the world confessed.

Thy name. O Jesus. be forever blest. Alleluia. Alleluia!

Thou wast their rock, their fortress. and their might: thou, Lord, their captain in the well-fought fight: Thou. in the darkness drear, their one true light. Alleluia. Alleluia.

O may thy soldiers, faithful. true and bold. tight as the saints who nobly fought of old.

And win with them the victor's crown of gold. Alleluia. Alleluia!

O blest communion, Fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine:

Yet all are one in thee. for all are shine. Alleluia. Alleluia!

And when the strife is fierce. the warfare long. steals on the ear the distant triumph song,

And hearts are brave again. and arms are strong. Alleluia Alleluia!

But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day,. the saints triumphant rise in bright array:

The king of glory passes on this way Alleluia. Alleluia!

From earth's wide bounds. from ocean's farthest coast,

through gates of pearl streams in the countless host

Singing to Father, Son. and Holy Ghost. Alleluia. Alleluia!

FOR I HAVE TOUCHED THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT

I will go dancing,

I will go dancing,

I will go dancing in my soul,

For I have touched the hem of his garment

And his power has made me whole.

Refrain:

Sing Alleluia, sing Alleluia,

Sing Alleluia in my soul,

For I have touched the hem of his garment

And his power has made me whole.

I will go singing . . .

I will go praying. . .

Watching and waiting . .

Fasting and feasting . .

I will go dancing . . .

FOUR BY FOUR

(Chant)

Four by four, four by four.

We can order chaos with a four by four!

(Sing to Frere Jacques)

One two, three four

One two, three four

Four by four, four by four.

We can order chaos.

We can order chaos,

Four by four, four by four.

FOUR STRONG WINDS

Four strong winds that blow lonely,

Seven seas that run high,

All those things that don't change come what may.

But our good times are all gone,

And I'm bound for moving on,

I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

Think I'll go out to Alberta

Weather's good there in the fall

Got some friends that I can go to working for,

Still I wish you'd change your mind,

If I asked you one more time

But we've been through that a hundred times or more

If I get there before the snow flies,

And if things are going good,

You could meet me if I sent you down the fare.

But by then it would be winter;

Not too much for you to do,

And those winds sure can blow cold. away out there.

(Repeat first verse)

FREE AM I

Tune: Summertime

Free am I. come aware at the center, standing nowhere, and forever exposed

Shaping who man is, and the man who will be. I'm now becoming, endlessly.

Free am I. Fated to life and dying; there is naught to blame, life's a gift to receive

Feeling all men's woes and creating the future, I'm final measure. endlessly.

Free am I now beyond good and evil deciding the right and surrendering the deed

Ever smiled upon by the mercy of Being. I'm then commissioned, endlessly.

Free am I, coming home on the journey, putting gods to flight with the bend of the knee

Heavy burdens light, all life's cares made easy. I'm under judgment, endlessly.

FREE TO DECIDE

Tune: Hi, Ho Nobody Home

Free, free, free to decide

What this world is going to be;

This imperative is ours

To be free, free . . . (Repeat)

This song is best sung as a round.

FREEDOM

Tune: "Greensleeves "

Our freedom lies in obedience

Of choosing the necessity,

And nothing can deliver us

From dreadful responsibility.

Refrain:

No recourse to the law,

No justification or righteousness,

No way to defend our deeds,

But we offer them up to the Mystery.

Now deed and self stand naked here

We own whatever we've brought to be.

No rules to rescue, no course to clear

From dreadful responsibility.

Chorus

FRIDAY MORNING

It was on a Friday morning

That they took me from the cell,

And I saw they had a carpenter

To crucify as well.

You can blame it on to Pilate

You can blame it on the Jews,

You can blame it one the Devil,

It's God I accuse.

It's God they ought to crucify

Instead of you and me,

I said to the carpenter

A‑hanging on the tree.

You can blame it on to Adam

You can blame it on to Eve

You can blame it on the apple,

But that I can't believe.

It was God that made the Devil

And the Woman and the Man,

And there wouldn't be an Apple

If it wasn't in the plan.

It's God they ought to crucify

Instead of you and me,

I said to the carpenter

A‑hanging on the tree.

Now Barrabas was a killer,

And they let Barrabas go.

But you are being crucified

For nothing, here below.

But God is up in heaven

And he doesn't do a thing:

With a million angels watching,

And they never move a wing.

It's God they ought to crucify

Instead of you and me,

I said to the carpenter

A‑hanging on the tree.

To hell with Jehovah,

To the carpenter I said,

I wish that a carpenter

Had made the world instead.

Goodbye and good luck to you,

Our ways will soon divide.

Remember me in heaven,

The man you hung beside.

It's God they ought to crucify

Instead of you and me,

I said to the carpenter

A‑hanging on the tree.

GENEVA CROSSROADS

Taking their past insight to build a brand new world.

Refrain:

Francis, Paul and Luther, Kennedy and King

All of the earth belongs to every man.

Iron Men create the future

Iron men are molded through exercise and games.

Healthy minds and bodies, become one and the same

Terrible Tummy Twister, Iron Man Handstand,

Iron Men create the future

For all men.

Refrain

Heads upon the water glide over the abyss,

Walking in the water, waiting for the sun.

Still the rain keeps falling, clouds will not disperse,

Iron Men create the future,

For all men.

Refrain

GEORGE FOX

There's a light that is shining in the heart of a man,

It's the light that was shining when the world began.

There's a light that is shining in the Turk and the Jew

And a light that is shining, friend, in me and in you.

Old Leather Breeches

Shaggy, shaggy locks

(Music or repeat words)

With your old leather breeches

And your shaggy, shaggy locks

You are pulling down the pillars

Of the world. George Fox!

With a book and a steeple, with a bell and a key

They would bind it forever, but they can't, said he.

Oh, the book it will perish and steeple will fall

But the light will be shining at the end of it all!

Chorus.

"If we give you a pistol will you fight for the Lord?"

"You can't kill the devil with a gun or a sword".

"Will you swear on the Bible?" "I will not", said he

"For the truth is as holy as the Book to me".

Chorus.

There's an ocean of darkness and I drowned in the night

Till I came through the darkness to the ocean of light.

And the light is for ever and the light will be free,

And I'll walk in the glory of the light said he.

Chorus.

Tune: Wendy

Praise be to God the Father Almighty, praise be to God who came to this earth.

Praise be to God the Spirit eternal, praise be to God forever.

Give thanks for the mystery that man cannot know or see;

The final reality whom we embrace, whom we embrace.

Give thanks that all life is good: give thanks that we are received;

Give thanks that the past's approved and the future is open, and the future is open.

Give thanks that all men are free to live life responsibly;

Observe, judge, and weigh the fact, decide and act, decide and act.

Give thanks for the will to be the Church in all history;

To care for society and die our deaths, and die our deaths.

When I was a seeker, I sought both night and day;

I asked the Lord to help me, and he taught me to pray.

He made me a watchman upon the city wall,

And if I am a Christian I am the least of all

GOD

Tune: Blowing in the Wind

It is God that is always driving man to care about the coming day.

And yet God is the mystery who takes each man's security away.

It is God that makes man seek happiness. but does not allow his joy to stay.

It is God who gives every man his life, and God who takes his life away.

It is God that drives man to search for love, and yet man is constantly pursued.

By that force which finally casts each one out into loneliness and solitude.

It is God that drives man to knowledge and truth, but always denies him certitude.

It is God who drives every man his life, and God who takes his life away.

It is God that gives the desire to achieve, and yet death leaves man's work undone.

It is God that summons man to do good, and neglect his duty to none.

And yet God is the voice that pronounces guilt, for man's war with self is never won.

It is God who gives every man his life, and God who takes his life away.

GOD MOVES

God move in a mysterious way his wonders to perform:

He plants his footsteps in the sea. and rides upon the storm.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take: the clouds ye so much dread

Are big with mercy, and shall break in blessings on your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust him for His grace:

Behind a frowning providence he hides a smiling face.

His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour:

The bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower.

GOOD NEWS

Tune: Good News, Chariot's Coming

Good news, all is good. Good news, all is received.

Good news, all is approved. All is possible.

That's the word of life he came to bear; (3 times)

That's the word the good news.

It's an affirmation. Life is good …

Whatever you are, you are received ...

Whatever your past, it's stamped approved . . .

All is possible, the future is yours ...

GRACE

Tune: Mary’s Little Boy Child

“Where sin abounded, grace did all the more abound." Paul said.

The state of our whole life is this, that we are separated.

Separated from life’s aim and its origin;

Separated from ourselves and from other men.

Grace strikes when we are estranged from life's mystery.

From its greatness and its depth. its source and destiny.

Grace strikes when we are in great restlessness and pain.

And when all of life itself seems meaningless and vain.

Grace strikes when we are estranged from another life;

When relationships become tilled with human strife.

Grace strikes when we deeply feel this separation,

Because another life we've harmed through what we have done.

Grace strikes when in our self-hate we are in despair;

And the failures of our lives become too hard to bear.

Grace strikes when, year after year, the longed‑for life does not appear

And all joy is gone away and courage turned to tear.

Sometimes at that moment while separated

A light breaks through, a word is said. "You are accepted."

A wave of light sometimes breaks through in that moment of great dread.

And a voice is heard to say, "You are accepted."

Grace strikes then. but we may not be better than before;

And believing may not be increased to any more.

But we are united to life's aim and origin,

Reunited to ourselves and to other men.

"Where sin abounded, grace did all the more abound." Paul said.

Now the state of our whole life is reunited.

Reunited to life's aim and its origin;

Reunited to ourselves and to other men.

GRACE AND PEACE

Tune: The Happy Wanderer

Grace and peace be unto you

From God our Father,

And the Lord Jesus Christ!

Grace and peace be unto you

From God our Father

And the Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Grace and peace be unto you!

HAI OU LOVE SONG

Lost alone and wandering

Seeking for the way.

Future darkening.

Searching for community

There my life fulfilled

Longing for a place to build

By the sea a people free

Vision fills the air.

New community

For your love I've been waiting

Now you call to me

Hai Ou I'll come to thee

Future brightening.

HARVEST TIME

The seed I have scattered in springtime with weeping, and watered with tears and with dews from on high:

Another may shout when the harvesters reaping, shall gather my grain in the sweet by and by.

Refrain:

Over and over, yes, deeper and deeper, my heart is pierced through with life's sorrowing cry.

But the tears of the sower and the songs of the reaper shall mingle together in joy by and by.

By and by, by and by, by and by. by and by.

Yes the tears of the sower and the songs of the reaper shall mingle together in joy by and by.

Another may reap what in springtime I've planted. Another rejoice in the fruit of my pain.

Not knowing mv tears when in summer I fainted while toiling sad‑hearted in sunshine and rain.

Thorns will have choked and the summer sun blasted the most of the seed which in springtime l've sown.

But the Lord who has watched while m! weary toil lasted will give me a harvest for what I have done.

Coda:

Then palms of victory, crowns of glory, palms of victory. I shall wear.

Langs de stifle Gete in het Hageland,

Liggen zeven dorpen aan de waterkant.

Na zovele jaren, in gedroom veeleer

Hoe schoon op de wereld het Linterse hart.

Dit is trier op aarde een stukje apart.

Hoe schoon op de wereld de Gete tock vloeit

Dit is trier op aarde wet ons alien boeit.

'K Zie ze alien semen, een van hart en hand

Onder een nieuwe hemel in ons glooiend land

Over gele velden zie ik kerkjes staan

Ben den opgetogen near de mens gegaan.

O wat heeft dees liefde ook trier nu verricht

Mocht het altijd blijven zoals trier gedicht

Hadden we vele zorgen nu zijn z'opgelost,

Na veel uren werken' stikkend van de dorst.

HEY DELTA PACE

Tune: Delta Dawn

Refrain:

Hey, Delta Pace, what's that new face you have on?

Have you seen a dream and found a new way to care?

And do you plan to dare

To find a way to share

Your vision with the State and with the world?

From Greenville to the hills of Tupelo.

From the river to thc Gulf of Mexico.

The MagnoliaState is looking for a sign.

Of local man’s care forr all Mankind.

Thc struggle of the Grey and the Blue

Freed all men to create and build anew.

They joined their hands to clothes and feed the world.

And waited for the promise of their toil.

When the youth of Delta Pace are all grown.

They'll know they do not stand there all alone.

From across the globe the flood of those who care

Will stand and sing the victory we share.

The South is standing tall in a new day.

The Delta land is forging the new day.

Graciousness and kindness are not gone;

Come join us as we sing and march along.

Last refrain:

Hey, Delta Pace has found a brand new day.

We have seen a dream and found a way to care.

And now we plan to dare to be the means to share.

Our victory with the state and with the world!

HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, is laid for your faith in his excellent Word!

What more can he say than to you he hath said, to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

"Fear not. I am with thee: O be not dismayed, for I am thy God, and will still give thee aid:

I'll strengthen thee, help thee. and cause thee to stand. upheld by my righteous. omnipotent hand."

"When through the deep waters I call thee to go. the rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;

For I will be with thee thy troubles to bless. and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress."

"When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie, my grace, all‑sufficient, shall be thy supply:

The flame shall not hurt thee: I only design thy dross to consume. and thy gold to refine."

"The soul that on Jesus still leans for repose. I will not. I will not desert to his foes;

That soul. though all hell should endeavor to shake. I'll never. no newer. no never forsake!"

How many ears on my head'?

How many fingers do I have on my hand?

How many pillows on my bed?

Chorus:

I have a lot of questions.

A lot that I don't know'

A lot of answers to find

And I know that some are easy,

I know that some are hard.

I know there are some I'll never find

How many hairs do I have on my head?

How big will I grow?

How many years will I live in my life? .

How many people will I know?

I AM DWELLING

Tune: I Shall Not Be Moved

Chorus:

I am dwelling on the tranquil sea; peace is swelling tides of victory

And waves of joy are crashing on the shoreline of life's unending sea.

Final dawn is gleaming on the crystal sea; everywhere there's meaning, aweful clarity

And boundless deeps are seen amidst the shadows of life's unending sea.

The storms of life are raging round the peaceful sea; hopes no more assuaging, strange the victory

No earthly foes, nor cares to harm the journey on life's unending sea.

Risen life is surging on the endless sea; history's peoples merging, one community

The sting of death is swallowed up in victory on life's unending sea.

Everywhere there's meaning on the crystal sea; in the storm that's raging, peace and victory

And waves of joy are crashing on the shoreline of life's unending sea.

I AM I, DON QUIXOTE!

Hear me now. O thou bleak and unbearable World!

Thou art base and debauched as can be;

And a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled

Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee!

Refrain:

I am I, Don Quixote

The lord of La Mancha.

My destiny calls and I go;

And the wild winds of fortune

will carry me onward,

Oh whithersoever they blow.

All your dastardly doings are past.

For our holy endeavor is now to begin

And virtue shall triumph at last!

Refrain

The trumpets of glory now call me to ride

Yes. the trumpets are calling to me.

And wherever I ride ever staunch at my side

My squire and my lady shall be.

I AM THE ONE

Tune: 76 Trombones

I am the one set free to embrace the world, I am the one compelled all to give.

I am the one condemned to be ever sorrow‑filled and to die each moment that I live.

I am amazed my life is in history, I am amazed this world's where I'm bound.

I am amazed I'm one with creation s family and in each the mystery is found.

The guardian of the world for all eternity, living, living, with all who've gone before,

The director of the world in all its future, and the key history is waiting for.

The wiseman who can always know his knowing, standing, standing ever in the fray.

The watchman who is always on the stage in every single age,

and moves a million mountains every day.

I BELIEVE IN WONDER

Tune: I Have a Dream

I have a dream, a song to sing

Releasing hope in everything.

If you see the wonder

Of this fragile sphere,

You can shape the future

Live beyond your fear.

I believe in wonder

Something new in everything I see.

I believe in wonder

And I know this world is right for me.

I've crossed the stream.

I have a dream.

I have a dream of what's to be

That all create our destiny

And the destination

Makes it worth the while

Pushing through the darkness

Still another mile.

I believe in wonder

Something new in everything I see.

I believe in wonder

And I know this world is right for me

I've crossed the stream.

I have a dream.

I've crossed the stream.

I have a dream.

I COME FROM ANCIENT BAYAD

I come from ancient Bayad

It's been there quite a while;

People farming foule and wheat

With water from the Nile.

The people of El Bayad

Have learned to live as one

With all that nature's given them,

Sweet water, sand and sun.

The times are changing Bayad;

Bright lights now greet the stars;

Waterlines bring life to all;

Roads bang folk from afar.

New industries in Bayad;

The desert sprouting green;

Hopes and dreams begin to swell;

The possible is seen.

Bayad's showing Egypt

The way to build the earth;

Releasing Local Man to care

Brings humankind rebirth.

I COULD HAVE DANCED ALL NIGHT

I could have danced all night.

I could have danced all night,

And still have begged for more.

I could have spread my wings,

and done a thousand things I'd never done before.

I'll never know what made it so exciting,

Why all at once my heart took flight,

I only know when he began to dance with me.

I could have danced, danced, danced all night.

I DON’T KNOW WHY

I don't know why I love you like I do,

I don't know why, I just do.

I don’t know why you thrill me like you do,

I don't know why, you just do.

You never seem to want my romancing,

The only time you hold me is when we're dancing,

I don’t know why I love you like I do,

I don't know why, I just do

I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED

I know not why God's wondrous grace to me He hath made known,

Nor why unworthy—Christ in love redeemed for his own.

Refrain:

But I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I've committed unto Him against that day.

I know not how this saving faith to me he did impart,

Nor how believing in his Word wrought peace within my heart.

I know not how the Spirit moves, convincing Men of sin.

Revealing Jesus through the Word, creating faith in Him.

I know not what of good or ill may be reserved for me,

Or weary ways or golden days, before His face I see.

I KNOW WHY

Tune: You’re Just in Love

I see wonder coming everywhere.

This strange presence seems to fill the air.

New communities emerge that care.

I wonder why? I wonder why?

Old worlds passing quickly out of sight.

New is dawning with its shocking light.

Old despair is finally in the past

Our destiny recast.

I now know why!

The whole world is arisin'.

It is no time for cryin'.

The old way's death is but new birth.

Beyond all expectations,

The new aeon's awaitin'

Awake now! See the common earth.

Put the globe on your shoulders.

You will find you'll be bolder

And you'll live with the final One.

You will see life's deep surprise

Burst before your very eyes.

For you'll see the Kingdom's come!

Repeat, singing verses simultaneously.

I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places

That this heart of mine embraces all day through,

In the small cafe, the park across the way,

The children's carousel, the chestnut tree, the wishing well.

I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's day,

In everything that's light and gay,

I’ll always think of you that way.

I'll find you in the morning sun and when the night is new,

I'll be looking at the moon, but I’ll be seeing you.

I'M ALWAYS FALLING DOWN

Tune: London Bridge

I am always falling down,

Falling down, falling down,

I am always falling down.

That's the way it always is.

Life is full of broken glass,

IT HAD TO BE YOU

It had to be you, it had to be you,

I wandered around and finally found the somebody who

Could make me be true, could make me be blue

And even be glad. just to be sad thinking of you.

Some others I've seen, might never be mean,

Might never be cross or try to be boss, but they wouldn't do,

For nobody else gave me a thrill, with all your faults I love you still,

It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you.

Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.

Eternal Thy goodness, for naught changeth Thee.

IN LORNE DE L'ACADIE

Tune: Aupres de ma blonde

The frozen snow is melting.

In Lorne de l'Acadie.

The ocean wind is blowing.

In Lorne de l'Acadie.

It whispers dreams of freedom.

It carries seeds of hope.

Hope that renders fulfillment.

Living, living endlessly.

Hope that's born of a struggle.

To find a way to be.

The forest yields its bounty,

To those who plumb its depth.

The soil will bear a harvest,

To those who till its breadth.

The long lost wandering lover

Will find her home at last

Find the place of engagement,

Caring. caring endlessly.

Find the way to be human.

With man in history.

The sun is shining brightly.

On Lorne de l'Acadie.

The Bay is flowing calmly,

By Lorne de l'Acadie.

It bears a word of courage.

To lands across the sea:

See the face of the planet,

Changing. changing endlessly;

See the shape of the future.

In what we do and be.

At night the shadows gather.

In Lorne de l'Acadie.

But hearts are bright and steadfast,

In Lorne de l'Acadie.

For victory knows its birthplace

In care that never ends,

Care that conquers frustration.

Dancing. dancing endlessly.

Care that's free and obedient,

To give creatively.


IN THE WORLD OF SPIRIT

Tune: If Were A Rich Man

In the world of spirit, radically contingent, trustful expectation, intense shock

Life's impacted by the mystery, and it's all a cloud of awe!

In the world of spirit, revelation of enigma, wheel of fortune, no excuse

One essential task, create the world, sudden reeling, mystery's won the day.

Oneness of all creation, wholly engulfed in marching with all of history,

Binding the wounds of time, everything's worthwhile.

The other world you see through all and move mountains, and there's none to show the way,

All in love with life and all poured out.

In the world of spirit, resurrectional existence, gloriously condemned to waltz.

Rapture walks with woe, struck dumb by bliss, playing in a symphony.

In the world of spirit, irresistibly impelled, and simply all a‑tingle now

Running on an endless marathon, sudden reeling, mystery's won the day.

Repeat 2nd and 3rd verses through "all a‑tingle now"

Coda:

Running on an endless marathon, suddenly deciding I'm the one

Running on an endless marathon, Mystery has won the day.

ISSAQUAH

Tune: Shenandoah

Issaquah, a lovely valley

Lies below the rugged mountains.

It once was vast and rolling farms

The western gate to Puget Sound,

Built by men of vision.

Issaquah, a lovely valley

Works to be a human neighbor

Amidst a world forever growing

Community with constant challenge

Faced by men of vision.

Issaquah, a lovely valley

With its blue and coiling waters

Dreaming of new understanding

Forged by all participating

As the men of vision.

Issaquah Town Meeting

IT HAD TO BE YOU

It had to be you

It had to be you

I've wandered around and

Finally found

Somebody who

Could make me feel blue

Could make me be true

And even be glad

Just to be sad

Thinking of you.

Some others I've seen

Might never be mean

Might never be cross

Or try to be boss

But they wouldn't do.

For nobody else gave me a thrill

With all your faults

I love you still.

It had to be you, wonderful you,

It had to be you.

IT IS GREAT TO BE ALIVE

Tune: Four Strong Winds

It is great to be alive

In this land we have been given,

Pioneers who did build on the soil

Many countries gave their people

For a challenge to be met

And together built this nation

With their toil.

Our community is strong

When together we all work

To decide what we need and our role.

And our vision for tomorrow

As we face a complex time

In a world where humanity is whole.

IT'S A FINE TIME . . .

Tune: You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me, Lucille

On a late night in July, it was nineteen and six nine.

The T.V. was droning away.

The kids were complainin' 'cause it had been rainin'

And there weren't no cartoons all day.

For the networks were humming, and newsmen were gumming

'Bout space travelers well on their way.

Then we saw with our eyes, from moon ground, the Earth rise,

We didn't know then what it finally would mean. . .

We were awed when we saw her, we'd almost forgot her,

From the moon she first came into view.

She was everyone's duty, and she was a beauty.

And we couldn't believe it was true.

It was more than we wanted, but all men were haunted

With the thought of all livin' as one.

On one little planet, and we didn't plan it,

She's ours, if we claim her, to have and to hold. . .

Chorus:

It's a fine time to be on this earth,

What more to ask for than to give it new birth?

We had some bad times, and lived through some sad times.

But this time our hope has its worth.

It's a fine time to be on this earth. . .

Now, there's no use to panic and start acting frantic,

Nor look for a good place to hide.

While people are dying, and sad hearts a‑crying.

It's no time to lay down and die.

New life's surprising, and local man rising

And claiming a new day is near.

A new song is singing, in all hearts it's ringing,

The song of the earth is for all who will hear. . .

Chorus:

(Sing chorus twice on last verse)

IT'S A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING

It's a grand night for singing! The moon is flying high

And somewhere a bird who is bound he'll be heard, is throwing his heart at the sky.

It's a grand night for singing! The stars are bright above,

The earth is aglow and to add to the show, I think I am falling in love.

Falling, falling in love.

IT'S SO EASY NOT TO TRY

It’s so easy not to try

Let the world go drifting by

If you never say hello

You won’t have to say goodbye

It’s so easy not to try

Never stay around to cry

Move along when troubles come

Like a mindless butterfly.

For what good is it to love

When the loving always ends

Travel on the road that’s straight

Not the one with hills and bends

It’s so easy not to try

Let the world go drifting by

If you never say hello

You won’t have to say goodbye

But we see that we can try

Take our dreams and with them fly

We prefer to say hello

Life we know has it goodbyes

It’s so easy when we try

We prefer to not be shy

Move ahead when troubles come

Like a silver jet we’ll fly.

For how good it is to love

When the loving lets you care

Let your journey take us on

We can help out everywhere

It’s so easy when we try

Take our dreams and with them fly

We prefer to say hello

We will smile instead of cry

Roads go ever, ever on

Top the lands beyond the sea

On a white ship will I sale

Watching shadows part for me

Weaving heavens grey with rain

Now that years have slipped away

Leaving friends with gentle pain

As they start another day.

Roads I’ve traveled I must leave

For I’ve turned the final bend

Weep not empty tears but grieve

As the road comes to an end

It’s so easy when we try

Take our dreams and with them fly

We will always say hello

We will smile instead of cry.

JUST IN TIME

Just in time, I found you just in time,

Before you came, my time was running low.

I was lost, the losing dice were tossed,

My bridges all were crossed, nowhere to go.

Now you're here, and now I know just where I'm going,

No more doubt or fear, I've found my way.

For love came just in time.

You found me just in time,

And changed my lonely life that lovely day.

IT'S GONNA HAPPEN THIS YEAR

Tune: I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends

Hey look at this

Have you seen the new story?

It's a story you can tell the world.

Get out and talk.

There is plenty of glory

'Cause the new wave is about to curl.

Oh I can see it's gonna happen this year

Yeah the whole future is unfolding right here.

You can be on the new edge

All it takes is the whole of your life

Come with me to the new edge

It is simply demanding your life.

Now there's the joining of your hand in mine

As we pull back the curtain of night

Together we'll walk it, creating the signs

This vision is a beautiful sight.

Oh I can see it's gonna happen this year

Yeah the whole future is unfolding right here

Oh I can see it's gonna happen this year.

JESUS MET THE WOMAN AT THE WELL

Jesus met the women at the well,

Jesus met the women at the well,

Jesus met the women at the well,

And he told her everything she'd ever done.

He said, woman, woman, where is your husband ....

And he told her everything she'd ever done.

She said Jesus, Jesus, ain't got no husband . . .

And you don't know everything I've ever done.

He said woman, woman, you got five husbands . . .

And the one you got now is not your own.

She said, this man, this man, must be a prophet . . .

He done told me everything I ever done.

She said, Jesus, Jesus, he is the Savior ....

He done told me, "life is good. just as it is."

JOSHUA FIT DE BATTLE OF JERICHO

Chorus:

Joshua fit de battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho,

Joshua fit de battle of Jericho. and the walls came tumblin' clown.

You may talk about your kings of Gideon, you may talk about your men of Saul,

But there's none like good of Joshua, at de battle of Jericho.

Right up to the walls of Jericho, he marched with spear in hand.

"Go blow them ram horns," Joshua cried. "Cause the battle am in my hand."

Then the lamb, ram, sheephorns began to blow and the trumpets began to sound.

Joshua commanded the children to shout and the walls came tumblin' down. .

. . . that morning…

Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, opening to the sun above.

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, drive the dark of doubt away:

Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day.

All Thy works with joy surround Thee, earth and heaven reflect Thy rays.

Stars and angels sing around Thee, center of unbroken praise:

Field and forest, vale and mountain. flowery meadow, flashing sea,

Chanting bird and flowing fountain call us to rejoice in Thee

Thou are giving and forgiving, ever blessing. ever blest,

Well‑spring of the joy of living. ocean‑depth of happy rest!

Thou our Father, Christ our brother. all who live in love are Thine:

Teach us how to love each other. Lift us to the joy divine.

Mortals, join the happy chorus which the morning stars began:

Daily walking close to thee ‑ let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

I'll be satisfied as long as I walk, let me walk close to thee.

Through this world of toil and snares, if I falter, Lord, who cares?

Who with me my burden shares? None but thee, dear Lord. none but thee.

When my feeble life is o'er, time for me will be no more.

Guide me gently, safely o'er, to thy kingdom shore, to thy shore.

It's by far the hardest thing we've ever done

To say how among the many we are one.

Chorus:

Kenya, Kenya Stand!

There's a spotlight on the land

From the valley's low clear to Mt.Kenya's snows.

Be the care you can be

So this broken world will see

That we're ready and we want the world to know.

We're gonna tell the wondrous story

Of all the things we've seen.

Victories we've won or lost

In the places where we've been

Building for the future

Together stand as one,

A country of deep resolve

To make this earth our home.

We're gonna beckon all the people,

Gonna find the ones who'll stand,

And be the ones who give their lives

To build a mighty land.

A neighbourhood of tribes

Of unity untold,

We're gonna call all the people out

And send them to the globe.

We're gonna be a new creation,

Gonna sing a brand new song,

The Kenya flag standing proud

With eighteen million strong.

The countries of this planet

All share its destiny,

And each one shares its gifts to build

A global unity.

LA CHANSON DE ROSSEIGNIES

Melodie: A la Claire Fontaine

C'est le Seigneur de Dave

Qui comprit le premier

La beaute'du village

Au vent des peupliers

Chorus:

Rosseignies est mon coin de terre

Jamais ne le quitterai

Le temps qui passe efface

Les pas du sabotier

Au coeur de notre espace

Nous reste un be'nitier

Le chant des enfants sages

Le sourire de nos vieux

Embellit ton image

Jusqu'a tenter les cieux

Un jour viendra peut‑etre

Ou tu retrouveras

Le tre'sor de nos peres

Au fond du Chicotia

LANZA TU VIDA

Refrain:

Lanza tu vida hacia el Tuturo ab~erto

El misterio recibe tu muerte dada por todos.

Lo que sabemos se esfuma.

Lo que pensamos se opaca.

El corazo'n se estremece

Gritando: "De'jame quieto!"

Condutcenos al tuturo

Lo que sabemos sin verlo.

La realidad nos sacude.

Nuestros esfuerzos aplasta.

Mas los anhelos no cesan.

La fuerza empuja a seguirlos.

Sera'este caos eterno?

Separacio'n pare siempre?

Las ilusiones nos ciegan.

Ya no aguantamos la lucha.

Sin la promesa grandiose

Mejor que nos retiremos.

Pero la entrega nos urge.

La vida toda es buena.

Con toda historia enlazados

Lo que se exige ya vemos.

Unidos fuerte en afanes

En obedienxcia servimos.

Demos la mente y el alma

En libertad a la historia.

Mas solos no hacemos nada.

Nos tropezamos sin fuerza.

En la misio'n todos uno

Estructuramos esfuerzos.

Pues somos del movimiento

Que da su vida por tooos.

LEAD ON, OH KING ETERNAL

Lead on, O King eternal, the day of march has come!

Henceforth in fields of conquest thy tents shall be our home.

Through days of preparation thy grace has made us strong.

And now, O King eternal, we lift our battle song.

Lead on, O King eternal, till sin's fierce war shall cease,

And holiness shall whisper the sweet Amen of peace.

For not with swords loud clashing, nor roll of stirring drums,

But deeds of love and mercy, the heav'nly kingdom comes.

Lead on, O King eternal, we follow, not with fears.

For gladness breaks like morning where’er thy face appears.

Thy cross is lifted o'er us; we journey in its light.

The crown awaits the conquest: lead on, O God of might!

LEAVE TOMORROW TILL IT COMES

Leave tomorrow till it comes

Sleep will ease your mind

With the dawn you'll find

Problems realigned a different way

Than yesterday

Leave tomorrow till it comes

Time is moving fast

Don't go pushing past

Ending of the day were meant to last

Till yesterday

Tangled dreams unfold

And webs may disappear

Stories are retold

And cloudy thoughts will clear.

Tomorrow is open

Leave tomorrow till it comes

Sleep will ease your mind

With the dawn you'll find

Problems realigned a different way

Than yesterday.

LIFE FROM NOTHING

Tune: I Walk the Line

Life from nothing began through Him,

And life from the dead began through Him,

And He is therefore justly called

The Lord of all, the Lord of all!

Repeat

LIFE IS GOOD

Tune: Walk Right In

Life is good and we can shout,

Life is good and we can shout,

With the sun and the moon and stars.

Everybody's talking 'bout the universe

Let's all dance to life.

Life is good and we can shout,

With the sun and the moon and the stars, yeah man,

With the sun and the moon and the stars. Yeah!!!

LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING

Lift ev'ry voice and sing till earth and heaven ring,

Ring with the harmonies of liberty:

Let our rejoicing rise high as the list'ning skies,

Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.

Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us.

Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us

Facing the rising sun of a new day begun,

Let us march on till victory is won.

Stony the road we trod. bitter the chast'ning rod.

Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;

Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet,

Come to the place for which our fathers sighed.

We have come over the way that with tears has been watered.

We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,

Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last.

Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,

Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;

Thou who hast by thy might, led us into the light,

Keep us for ever in the path, we pray.

Lest our feet stray from the places, our God. where we met Thee,

Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee.

Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand,

True to our God, true to our native land.

Three billion people die and never live.

All was gone, every hope had died.

Human suffering over all the world—

Three billion people die and never live.

At the center, aweful calm,

Born of spirit, then my life was gone.

Human suffering over all the world—

In every nation throughout every land.

Building patterns to release the new:

Dying daily that the new may live.

LONESOME VALI.EY

Jesus walked this lonesome valley,. he had to walk it by himself.

Oh, nobody else could walk it for him, he had to walk it by himself..

We must walk this lonesome valley, we have to walk it by ourselves.

Oh, nobody else can walk it for us, we have to walk it by ourselves.

You must go and stand your trial, you have to stand it by yourself.

Oh, nobody else can stand it for you, you have to stand it by yourself.

LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY

Long ago and far away,

I dreamed a dream one day

And now that dream is here beside me.

Long the skies were overcast,

But now the clouds have passed.

You are here at last!

Chills run up and down my spine.

Aladdin's lamp is mine,

The dream I dreamed was not denied me.

Just one look and then I knew

That all I longed for, long ago, was you.

LONG MARCH LONG

When will the future wake?

Yet hope, yet hope—

Can't contain it

Can't explain it—

Beckons once again.

Long March, long—

There is no weak, no strong

Weary beyond bearing

When will the future wake?

Long March, long—

With all fulfillment gone

Emptied of the vision

When will the future wake?

Can't contain it

Can't explain it—

Beckons once again.

Long March, long—

With stillness as the song

Journey is forever

Now, now the future wakes.

LORD OF ALL

Tune: All My Trials

When all my truth had come to nought

I saw the truth of life unsought.

All my seeking life now is over.

The Jesus Christ is Lord, is Lord of all

All my seeking life now is over.

When all my doings fell in ruin

I saw the way of life walk in

All my questing life now is over.

The Jesus Christ is Lord, is Lord of all

All my questing life now is over.

When all contentment turns to rage

I saw the peace of life break through

All my waiting life now is over.

The Jesus Christ is Lord, is Lord of all

All my waiting life now is over.

For now a new life has begun

The transformed life of God's own son

All my humanness now is realized.

The Jesus Christ is Lord, is Lord of ail

All my humanness now is realized.

Henceforth the servant life is mine

The slave of all mankind assigned

All my gratitude now is manifest

The Jesus Christ is Lord, is Lord of all

All my gratitude now is manifest.

LORD OF THE DANCE

I danced in the morning when the world was begun, and I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun,

And I came down from heaven and danced on the earth, at Bethlehem I had my birth.

Refrain:

Dance then wherever you may be, I am the lord of the dance, said he

And I'll lead you all wherever you may be, and I'll lead you all in the dance, said he.

I danced for the scribes and the pharisees, but they would not dance and they would not follow me.

I danced for the fishermen, for James and John; they came with me and the dance went on.

I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame, the holy people said it was a shame

They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high. and they left me there on the cross to die.

I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black: it's‑hard to dance with the devil on your back;

They buried my body and they thought I'd gone, but I am the dance and I still go on.

They cut me down and I leapt up high; I am the life that'll never never die;

I'll live in you if you live in me, I am the lord of the dance, said he.



LORIMOR

Tune: MacNamara’s Banks

Some people came to Ioway a hundred years ago,

To plant the land and lend a hand,

And help the country grow.

They looked around. and when they found,

They couldn't ask for more

They settled down and made a town,

And called it Lorimor.

Refrain:

Oh Lorimor, Lorimor, then and now,

A place to be alive

With walnut trees and birds and bees,

And better yours to boot;

The name of the place is Lorimor,

Where people give a hoot.

Now when you travel out our way,

We're sure you'll want to stay.

To buy a meal and wash your clothes,

And pass the time of day,

The people here are ready to cheer,

For other folks who care,

To help to build our country up.

America the fair.

LOVE DIVINE

Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heaven, to earth come down

Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, all Thy faithful mercies crown!

Jesus, Thou art all compassion, pure, unbounded love Thou art;

Visit us with Thy salvation, enter every trembling heart.

Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit into every troubled breast

Let us all in Thee inherit, let us find the promised rest

Take away our bent to sinning, Alpha and Omega be;

End of faith, as its beginning, set our hearts at liberty.

Come, Almighty to deliver, let us all Thy grace receive;

Suddenly return, and never, never more Thy temples leave.

Thee we would be always blessing, serve Thee as Thy hosts above,

Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, glory in Thy perfect love.

Finish, then, Thy new creation; pure and spotless let us be;

Let us see Thy great salvation perfectly restored in Thee:

Changed from glory into glory, till in heaven we take our place

Till we cast our crowns before Thee, lost in wonder, love and praise.

LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING

Love is a many splendored thing,

It's the April rose that only grows in the early spring.

Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living,

The golden crown that makes a man a king.

Once on a high and windy hilt

In the morning mist two lovers kissed and the world stood still.

Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing,

Yes, true love's a many splendored thing.

MAKE IT ONE

Tune: You Were Always On My Mind

Chorus:

There's a dream that we all carry.

It's been with us from the first

And it captures so much passion

Swells the heart to nearly burst.

You can see it in the earthrise.

It is calling everyone.

Now a new age has begun.

Build the earth and make it one.

Pain and suffering surround us

Grinding hope into the dust.

Fear and trembling around us.

Nothing left to try or trust.

Still, the word is often spoken

And the song is often sung,

Chorus

That a new age has begun.

Build the earth and make it one.

We can see it if we rise above

The trouble and the tears

We can be it, though it take us through

A hundred weary years.

With the sunrise sing a chorus

That will make your courage new

And from then until the days end

Work to make the dream come true.

Every voice will have its song to sing.

Every people find its home.

For a new age has begun,

Build the earth and make it one.

MAME

You coax the blues right out'a the horn, Mame,

You charm the husk right off'a the corn, Mame,

You've got the banjos strummin'

And plunkint out a tune to beat the band,

The whole plantations's hummin'

Since you brought Dixie back to DixieLand;

You make the cotton easy to pick, Mame,

You give my old mint julep a kick, Mame,

Whoever thought a Yankee

Would put our little Dixie belles to shame?

You've made us feel alive again,

You've given us the drive again,

To make the South revive again, Mame!

You brought the cakewalk back into style, Mame!

You make the weeping willow tree smile, Mame!

Your skin is Dixie satin,

There's rebel in your manner and your speech,

You may be from Manhattan, but

Georgia never had a sweeter peach;

You make the old magnolia tree bud, Mame,

You make camelias bloom in the mud, Mame,

You make the bougainvillea

Turn purple at the mention of your name . . .

We're bakin' pecan pies again,

Tonight the chicken fries again,

This time the South will rise again, Mame!

You make our black‑eyed peas and our grits, Mame,

Seem like the bill of fare at the Ritz, Mame,

You came, you saw, you conquered.

And absolutely nothing is the same;

Your special fascination'll

Prove to be inspirational,

We think you're just sensational, Mame!

From: Mame

My life will be in your keeping, waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping.

Longer than always is a long, long time,

But far beyond forever you'll be mine.

I know I never lived before and my heart is very sure

No one else could love you more.

MORNING OF FREEDOM

Tune: Morning Has Broken

Morning of freedom, final awareness, standing on nothing, groundlessly there.

Myself inventing, ever becoming, never completed, always undone.

All life is given, creatures of fortune, no one for blaming, never excused.

I am entrusted, history creating, offspring of Adam, measure of man.

Crossing the river, beyond the moral, all is permitted, only decide.

I am accepted, dearly beloved, endlessly chosen, serving all men.

Anchored securely, wholly united, warring gods fallen, painful relief.

My yoke is easy. Light is the burden, the day is coming, destiny won.

MOVE IT—MOVE IT

Tune: Theme song of Rawhide

Chorus:

Move it. Move it. Move it.

History approves it.

The times call you to do it

Today.

History's awaitin'

For you to start creatin'

The Cry's to build a brand new way.

We must get the stage set

For local man's engagement.

He can't wait another day.

Chorus

It's time to catalyze

Put vision in his eyes

He waits . . . the Word his only need.

We can do the job now.

Methods give the know‑how.

He'll rebuilt community.

Chorus

Global Demonstration

Requires participation

Of local wisdom and its care.

Local man shall rise

With vision in his eyes

For his and all communities.

Final Chorus

Coda.

Move it on, catalyze, implement, build the world!

Move it on, catalyze, move on!

MURRINBRIDGE

Tune: Mull of Kintyre

Here by the Lachlan

Surrounded by trees

Close to the center

Lying far from the seas

We'll build a future

We’ve come to foresee

And we build on a past

Our people's heritace.

Refrain.

MurrinBridge

We're singing to your people

Oh, MurrinBridge

We're dreaming your future

Oh, MurrinBridge

Past strengths to drawn from

With resources strop.

Dreaming through planning

Our future we own.

In shadows too 1ong.

Bringing forth a new dreaming

As we move along.

MY BLUE HEAVEN

When whipporwills call,

And evening is nigh,

I'll hurry to my blue heaven.

A turn to the right,

A little white light

Will lead you to my blue heaven

You'll see a smiling face,

A fireplace, a cozy room,

A little nest, that's nestled

Where the roses bloom.

Just Molly and me,

And baby makes three,

We're happy in my blue heaven.

MY CONSUMMATION

Tune: Danny Boy

Life beckons me to wonder and humility, to journey into deep reality.

To live fore'er within the realm of mystery, forever bound in aweful ecstasy.

Apostasy, the doubt that comes as certainty. I'm seized by dread and vanquished. hopelessly.

And I submit to given, fearful history. This perfect love transforms the wonder that is me.

Life beckons me to freedom and lucidity, to be the self that shapes futurity

To bear the weight of painful. conscious rhapsody, inventing all that I am doomed to be.

Morality beyond my own integrity, I stand amidst my fate and destiny,

And I must ever, always. my own conscience be. That final judgment dreads the wonder that is me.

Life beckons me to service for humanity, to spend my life as solidarity.

To be the burdened one, with man's dark tragedy, this suffering world compels my sympathy.

Humanity, my sole responsibility. The past, the future are for all, I see,

And I am called beyond my possibility. This awe‑full gift flows through the wonder that is me.

Life beckons me to live complete and joyously, to dwell in showers of blessing, ceaselessly.

To peace that comes from dreadful mystery, in realms of wonder, I will ever be.

Tranquillity, no burden, no hostility. I live in strange, unseen community.

And death and I do now embrace, eternally: My consummation, 'tis the wonder that is me.

MY LORD WHAT A MORNING

Refrain:

My Lord, what a morning (3 times)

When the stars begin to fall.

You'll hear that trumpet sound to wake the nations underground;

Looking to my God's right hand, when the stars begin to fall.

You'll hear the sinners mourn . . .

You'll hear the Christians shout . . .

MY SECRET LOVE

Once I had a secret love, that lived within the heart of me,

All too soon my secret love became impatient to be free.

So I told a friendly star the way that dreamers often do.

Just how wonderful you are and why I'm so in love with you.

Now I shout it from the highest hill, even told the golden daffodil

At last my heart's an open door, and my secret love's no secret anymore.

MYSTERY

Tune: Yesterday

Mystery, I see death as my reality: everything is now absurdity—I'm helpless, stunned by Mystery.

Suddenly, pulled apart, I cry unceasingly; there's no chance to win nor place to flee—

And all is known by Mystery.

In my deeps I feel a new power, intensity; my whole past's recast, and I'm now a different me.

This feast unsettles me' and in doubt I say it cannot be; then while lonely, yearning endlessly,

My life submits to Mystery.

Mystery floods me with my own futility, as I see in life's mundanity the dreadful presence constantly.

I can't flee, everywhere my life's exposed to me; I am haunted, hounded endlessly—

My guilt's known by the Mystery.

Then my crippled legs start to dance. I'm fancy free; blinding light—a voice—says the

promised land's for me.

Yet giants there I see. Life's cruel joke has disillusioned me. Wounded is my life eternally—

Enraptured with the Mystery.

NAM WAI

Tune: Blue Moon

Nam Wai: I saw you standing alone,

With many dreams of the past

Because the future's unknown.

Nam Wai, you knew just what you were called for

We saw you building a plan for

A world you really could care for.

And then there suddenly appeared before me

A sign for everyone on earth to see

I heard somebody whisper: "Come and join me."

And what came forth was new community.

Nam Wai, the future now is your own,

Your dreams renewed from the past,

New seeds of history are sown.

NEVER GONNA HAVE THAT CHANCE AGAIN

Tune: Hello, Dolly

We were a searching people

And a zestful people

And we came from many lands across the sea.

We were merchants and farmers.

We were slaves and charmers

And we dared to face the struggle individually

But we got up one morning,

Saw a new world dawning

After night and “I” were left there all alone.

He saw his brother, and

She saw her sister, and

We saw the oneness of us all

And now we move forward

To that unknown future

Which depends on what we all decide to do

We have our hopes ready

And our task waiting

And it's our responsibility to bring it through.

And this calls forth courage

To accept challenge

And produce a revolutionary way

Stand up and be counted,

The world's on your shoulder,

Never gonna have that chance again.

Never gonna have that chance again.

Never gonna have that chance again,

NEVERTHELESS

Maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong,

Maybe I'm weak and maybe I'm strong,

But nevertheless I'm in love with you.

Maybe I'll win and maybe I'll lose,

Maybe I'm in for crying the blues,

But nevertheless I'm in love with you.

Somehow I know at a glance the terrible chances I'm taking;

Fine at the start. then left with a heart that is breaking.

May I'll live a life of regret,

Maybe I'll give much more than I get,

But nevertheless I'm in love with you.

NEW CARE IN THE FORMING

Tune: New World in the Morning

Everybody talks about a new care in the forming,

New care in the forming so they say.

I myself don't talk about a new care in the forming,

New care in the forming has its way.

So I can feel a new tomorrow coming on,

And I know we will have to move along.

Everybody talks about a new care in the forming,

New care in the forming takes a song.

I know a land that's been the home of care since it was started,

The land of local rugged spirit strong.

A land whose passions swirl and swell the joy of life imparted;

For then or now the new way ever comes.

So when we feel a new tomorrow coming on,

When we dance our hearts will sing along in song.

Everybody talks about a new care in the forming,

New care in the forming takes a song.

NEW COMMUNITIES

From an age of the dawn, a people journeyed on

Till a sail broke the skyline and a new age was born,

Then all those chained and bold, or fevered for the gold

Sought to struggle with a new community.

Refrain:

We're building new communities where everyone can share

All the gifts that belong to each one everywhere;

And we know you will find, that care is the sign

In a land vast and green with great new industries

Bringing folk from the old lands with their great diversity

You may sense you're alone when struggling on your own

But together we will build community.

Refrain

There's a future open wide, with hope on every side

For a new day is dawning, it is soon to arrive

And together we will strive to keep that hope alive

As we live in a new community.

Tune: Won't You Play a Simple Melody

I believe that life is mystery,

Filled with possibility.

Toil and tears and creativity

Building new community

A new society's rising

You'll hear a heavenly sound.

New human images spinning,

And the villages winning;

So believe what you see.

Why don't you listen to me?

We're new community‑bound!

With flames above their heads

The Holy Ghost descended there

The EmergingChurch they led.

There is a camp in New Orleans

Called New Jerusalem

A place of emerging spirit men.

Bread and wine they feasted on

Rehearsed the story of their lives

And danced their brokenness.

Paul did journey far abroad

Through trials and misery

And though he shipwrecked on the shore

He praised the Mystery.

Tune: A Fugue for Tinhorns

Awaken local man.

Encourage him to stand.

Before the miracles a‑bursting forth in every land,

You'll see, he's free, to dialogue with history.

NEW WORLD NOW

We are in a New World now

We never can go back

Our eyes have seen a thousand years

Our mind has bridged the gap.

And here we stand, we hear the Cry,

Creation surging on.

Our hearts beat wildly and sigh

No thing to lean upon.

We are in a New World now.

The light still blinds our eyes.

We weep and soar and shout aloud.

We dance between two pyres.

Like clowns who merge with time and space

Who run and jump and fall.

We beckon to the endless race.

We play the fool for all.

We are in a New World now

No longer is it hidden

We struggle to create the edge

Our local passion given

We were born to build the earth

Our lives consumed with praise

Gazing straight with open eyes

The phoenix does arise.

NIGHT AND DAY

Night and day, you are the one,

Only you beneath the moon and under the sun,

Whether near to me or far, it's no matter. Darling, where you are

I think of you—night and day.

Day and night, why is it so

That this longing for you follows wherever I go?

In the roaring traffic boom, in the silence of my lonely room

I think of you—night and day.

Night and day, under the hide of me,

There's an oh! such a hungry yearning burning inside of me;

And its torment won't be through

'Til you let me spend my life making love to vou

Day and night, night and day.

NORTH AMERICA, STAND

Tune: Follow Me

It's by far the hardest thing we've ever done

To say how among the many we are one.

Chorus:

North America, stand.

There's a spotlight on the land

All the way from Hudson Bay to Mexico.

Be the care you can be

So this broken world will see

That we're ready and we want the world to know.

We're gonna tell the story

Of all the things we've seen,

Victories we've won or lost

In the places where we've been

Building for the future

Together stand as one,

A continent of deep resolve

To make this earth our home.

We're gonna beckon all the people,

Gonna find the ones who'll stand

And be the ones who give their lives

To build a mighty land.

A neighbourhood of nations

Of strength and wealth untold,

We're gonna call the people out

And send them to the globe.

We're gonna be a new creation,

Gonna sing a brand new song,

Old Glory and the Maple Leaf

A quarter‑billion strong

The countries of this planet

All share its destiny,

And each one shares its gifts

To build a global unity.

NOW THANK WE ALL OUR GOD

Now thank we all our God with heart and hands and voices.

Who wondrous things hath done, in whom His world rejoices;

Who, from our mother's arms hath blessed us on our way

With countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.

O may this bounteous God through all our life be near us.

With ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us;

And keep us in this grace, and guide us when perplexed.

And free us from all ills in this world and the next.

All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given,

The Son, and Him who reigns with them in highest heaven;

The one eternal God, whom earth and heaven adore:

For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore.

NOW WE WILL LIVE

Tune: I Want to Live

There are people of the water, there are people of the sand.

There are people raised beneath the golden sun.

There are children of the forest, there are children of the plain.

And they cry out through the universe, their voices raised as one—

Refrain:

"Now we will live, now we will grow

Now we will be, now we will show

That we can share all we can give

Now we will be, now we will live."

Have you gazed upon the vision of a people filled with care?

Have you seen the many miracles come true?

Have you heard the people's story of their town transformed by care?

Telling tales of new found glory, of destiny renewed!

Refrain:

Interlude

For the worker and the warrior, and the dreamer and the sage

For the native and the wanderer alone.

For the maker and the user and the mother and the son

We are all one human family, upon a human globe.

We are standing all together face to face and arm in arm.

We are standing on a threshold of a dream.

No more hunger, no more suff'ring, no more wasting life away.

Claimed by only local people who decide their time has come.

Refrain:

O FOR A THOUSAND TONGUES

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 through all the earth abroad the honor of Thy name.

He breaks the power of canceled sin, He sets the prisoner free;

His blood can make the foulest clean; His blood availed for me.

He speaks and listening to His voice, new life the dead receive

The mournful, broken hearts rejoice, the humble poor believe.

Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb, your loosened tongues employ.

Ye blind, behold your Saviour come, and leap, ye lame, for joy.

O GOD, OUR HELP IN AGES PAST

O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come,

Our shelter from the stormy blast and our eternal home!

Under the shadow of thy throne still may we dwell secure; ,.

Sufficient is shine arm alone, and our defense is sure. ,

Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame,

From everlasting thou art God, to endless years the same.

A thousand ages, in thy sight, are like an evening gone;

Short as the watch that ends the night, before the rising sun.

Time, like an ever rolling stream, bears all its sons away;

They fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the opening day.

O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come;

Be thou our guide while life shall last, and our eternal home!

O LORD, OPEN THOU OUR LIPS

O Lord, open Thou our lips.

O Lord, open Thou our lips.

And our mouths shall show forth

Shall show forth Thy praise.

Shall show forth Thy praise.

Praise ye the Lord.

Praise ye the Lord.

The Lord’s name be praised.

The Lord's name be praised.

The Lord's name be praised.

Let each one announce the Word

Let each one announce the Word.

My fife is pleasing,

Oh yes, my life is pleasing

Oh yes, my life is pleasing to the Lord.

O LOVE THAT WILT NOT LET ME GO

O Love that will not let me go, I rest my weary soul in Thee:

I give Thee back the life I owe, that in Thine ocean depths its flow

May richer, fuller be.

O light that followest all my way, I yield my flick'ring torch to Thee:

My heart restores its borrowed ray, that in Thy sunshine's blaze its day

May brighter, fairer be.

O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to Thee;

I trace the rainbow through the rain, and feel the promise is not vain

That more shall fearless be.

O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee;

I lay in dust life's glory dead, and from the ground there blossoms red

Life that shall endless be.

O WORSHIP THE KING

O worship the King, all glorious above,

O gratefully sing His power and His love

Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,

Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.

The earth, with its store of wonders untold,

Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old,

Hath 'stablished it fast by changeless decree,

And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.

Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?

It breathes in the air, it shines in the light,

It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,

And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,

In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;

Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,

Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!

There's a bright golden haze on the meadow.

The corn Is as high as an elephant's eve.

And it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky.

Refrain:

Oh, what a beautiful morning, oh, what a beautiful dav

I've got a beautiful feeling, everything's going my way.

All the cattle are standing like statues,

All the cattle are standing like statues,

They don't turn their heads as they see me ride by

But a little brown maverick is winking her eye.

All the sounds of the earth are like music.

All the sounds of the earth are like music,

The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree,

And an old weeping willow is laughing at me.

ON THE ISLE OF DOGS

Tune: La Paloma Blanca

On the Island years ago

Where the ships came rolling in

Newcomers realized the beauty of it

And started settling in.

Chorus:

On the Isle of Dogs

This is the place to be.

On the Isle of Dogs

This is the place to be.

For you and for me

For you and for me.

Come and join us;

Help us build it.

You'll enjoy it more each day.

Having built your own ideas;

It will be a better way.

ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE

I have often walked down this street before.

But the pavement's always stayed beneath my feet before.

All at once am I several stories high, knowing I'm on the street where you live.

Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?

Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?

Does enchantment pour out of every door?

No. it's just on the street where you live.

And, oh, the towering feeling just to know somehow you are near,

The overpowering feeling that any moment you may suddenly appear.

People stop and stare, they don't bother me;

For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be.

Let the time go by, I don't care if I can be here on the street where you live.

ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET

Grab your coat, and get your hat,

Leave your worry on the doorstep,

Just direct your feet

To the sunny side of the street.

Can't you hear that pitter pat?

And that happy tune is your step,

Life can be so sweet

On the sunny side of the street.

I used to walk in the shade

With those blues on parade.

But I'm not afraid,

This Rover crossed over.

If I never have a cent

I'll be rich as Rockefeller,

Gold dust at my feet

On the sunny side of the street.

ONCE TO EVERY MAN AND NATION

Once to every man and nation

Comes the moment to decide,

In the strife of truth with falsehood,

For the good or evil side;

Some great cause, God's new Messiah,

Offering each the bloom or blight,

And the choice goes by forever

Twixt that darkness and that light.

Then to side with truth is noble,

When we share her wretched crust,

Ere her cause bring fame and profit,

And 'tis prosperous to be just,

Then it is the brave man chooses,

While the coward stands aside,

Till the multitude make virtue

Of the faith they had denied.

By the light of burning martyrs,

Christ, Thy bleeding feet we track,

Toiling up new Calvaries ever

With the cross that turns not back.

New occasions teach new duties;

Time makes ancient good uncouth;

They must upward still and onward,

Who would keep abreast of truth.

Though the cause of evil prosper,

Yet 'tis truth alone is strong;

Though her portion be the scaffold

And upon the throne be wrong,

Yet that scaffold sways the future,

And, behind the dim unknown,

Standeth God within the shadow,

Keeping watch above His own.

OOMBULGURRI: MY HOMETOWN

Tune: Back Home Again

I've heen away a long time, on the Wunan line.

Hearing tales about the place I love.

A place just out of Windham: Oombulgurri town.

People say it's now become a sign.

Chorus:

Hey it's good to be back home again:

Oombulgurri, my home town.

Feels like a long lost friend.

Hey it's good to be back home again.

Take the Lady up the river:

It's nestled in the hills:

Boab trees and cane grass all around.

My people always lived here, loved this land so dear.

Told me stories that I loved to hear.

Oombulgurri's growing, things are changing fast.

Seems like there's an awful lot to do.

I've been working steady, working awful hard:

Gonna build a house, a fence. A yard.

Looking toward the future, hope is in my heart;

Vision of a better life ahead.

All around the world now, others working, too;

Gonna make the g1obal sign come true.

OUR EYES HAVE SEEN A THOUSAND YEARS

Tune: I am Bound for the Promised Land

To prophesy that all the earth belongs to every Man,

One must behold a thousand years and thus unceasing stand.

Refrain:

Our eyes have seen a thousand years; we must unceasing stand

And prophesy that all the earth belongs to every Man.

We're on the edge for all Mankind, we hear the human cry,

We point to possibility in the struggle of our time.

Life is a resurrected deed lived that all Men be free,

Responding to the global need in particularity.

Within the painful fire of change, the spirit era sign.

The style through which the depths of life are lived for all Mankind.

Coda:

I am bound for the promised land, I am bound for the promised land.

Oh, who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land.

OUT OF THE MANY

Tune: By the Rivers of Babylon

To the Caribbean Sea

Our fathers came

The best of Africa

In the village of Woburn Lawn

We built a sign

Here we stand tall

We are Iron Men for all

Chorus

Out of the many

Gather us today in unity

Require of us a song

Now we can sing Jamaica a song

It's our new land

So let the works of our lives

And the dedication of our hearts

Be the tools of a future bright

Oh Jamaica

One people we will be

Jamaica free

Two thousand strong

Villages of care are we

Chorus

PACK UP YOUR SORROWS

No use crying, talking to a stranger

Naming the sorrows you've seen

Too many sad times, too many bad times

Nobody knows what you mean.

Refrain:

But if somehow you could pack up your sorrows

And give them all to me

You would lose them I know how to use them

Give them all to me.

No use ramblin', walking in the shadows

Trailing a wandering star

No one beside you, no one to hide you

And nobody knows where you are.

No use gambling. running in the darkness

Looking for a spirit that's free

Too many wrong times, too many long times

Nobody knows what you see.

No use roaming, lying by the roadside

Seeking a satisfied mind

Too many highways. too many byways

Nobody's walking behind.

PENECOST HYMN

Tune: There's New World Coming

Like the sound of heaven with the rushing of the wind

Came the fire a‑burning and new life was given to men.

The young see visions and the old dream dreams

Born of fire, filled with power, for all men.

To the light from darkness, and to freedom from fear

Building from the ashes into one community

Peter, Paul, and Luther, Augustine and Benedict

Born of fire, filled with power, for all men.

With despair abounding and a lack of hope around

Still the Spirit comes to the ones who birth the day

Giving breath and being to the ones who give their death

Born of fire, filled with power, for all men.

For the coming ages and the journey of mankind

We claim the promise that the fire give life to them

Deciding freely to live on behalf of all

Born of fire, filled with power, for all men.

POVERTY

Tune: from Brahms' First Symphony, Fourth Movement

Come walk with Francis

Like him you’ll

Naked die

Free all you now cherish

For time soon will

Pass you by

If you would do something

Then be God’s nothing

Be the Lord’s

Fool and fife

In holding to naught

there the secret is found

You are wealth

When not by wealth…

Bound too by fame? Then

You must leap

O’er that shoal

Your calling’s been written

Upon the

Ages’ scroll

The mass of most men

Laugh and don’t listen

Say that you’ve

Failed, gone mad

Yet when all seems wrong

You wink and appear gone

Lo, the Lord’s

New face is…

Drawn too by surety?

Living is to

Be unsure

So pour your life wholly

Each burden you

Will endure

Abound with Paul and

Run the race and

In fullness

There abase

In all that you do

Make this your song

That all earth

To all men…

Belong in the tension

Where life and

Death contend

As bridge to the future

Burn out the flesh

Time did lend

If holiness binds you

Leave it behind you

Such vestments

You must rend

The only defense

In the battle that’s won

Is life-in-depth,

The Kingdom…

PRAISE THE LORD

Tune: Walk Right In

Praise the Lord, Christ is risen,

He is risen indeed.

Praise the Lord, Christ is risen,

He is risen indeed.

Everybody's talking 'bout

A new way of walking.

Pick up your bed and walk.

Praise the Lord,

Christ is risen,

Pick up your bed and walk.

PRAISE TO THE LORD

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation;

O soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation:

All ye who hear, now to his temple draw near;

Joining in glad adoration.

Praise to the Lord, who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth,

Shelters thee under his wings, yea, so gently sustaineth:

Hast thou not seen? All that is needful hath been

Granted in what he ordaineth.

Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;

Surely his goodness and mercy here daily attend thee.

Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,

If with his love he befriend thee!

Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore him;

All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before him!

Let the Amen sound from his people again;

Gladly for aye we adore him.

PRAISE YE THE LORD

O Lord, open Thou our lips,

O Lord, open Thou our lips,

And our mouths shall show forth

Shall show forth Thy praise,

Shall show forth Thy praise.

Praise ye the Lord.

Praise ye the Lord.

The Lord's name be praised.

The Lord's name be praised.

The Lord's name be praised.

Let each one announce the Word.

Let each one announce the Word.

My life is pleasing,

Oh yes, my life is pleasing,

Oh yes, my life is pleasing to the Lord.


PRAYER

Tune: Aravah (Hebrew)

When I see my life

ever is torn

And loved ones

violated

And my failures are daily reborn

Then sorrow with

heaven is weighted

Yet I can gladly em-brace every hour

And praise God’s

inequity

I can sing of my blessings that shower

My joy

inexpressible be.

Now here I stand

battered to and fro

The chaos within

yet surrounding

I cry out my want and

the lack that I know

And power from with-

out feel uplifting.

The weight of the world

on my shoulders I bear

I echo the

voices that cry

The path of Mankind

with my agony bent

And my God I’ll fight on

‘til I die.

PRAYER: THE TIME HAS COME

Tune: Waiting for the Sunrise

O God, the world is waiting for resurgence, every heart is waiting for You.

The hopes of man, the spirit deeps are crying. Now, O God, the time is come!

O God, old men are dreaming dreams of future, and young men see visions of hope.

The prophecy from daughters all is rising. Now, O God, the time is come!

O God, pour out a portion of Your spirit, give a sign of what is to come,

Send down the fire of power and repentance. Now, O God, the time is come!

O God, be with us on our journey always, as we serve the anguish of men,

Save us unto Thy everlasting glory. Now, O God, the time is come!

PSALM 117

Tune: We Shall Overcome

Praise the Lord all nations!

Extol him, all peoples!

For great is his kindness toward us;

And the mercy of the Lord is everlasting!

Hallelujah!

PSALM 13

Tune: Five Hundred Miles

How long, O Lord, wilt thou quite forget me?

How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

How long must I suffer anguish in my soul,

grief in my heart, day and night?

How long shall my enemy lord it over me?

Look now and answer me, O Lord my God.

Give light to my eyes lest I sleep the sleep of death,

lest my adversary say, "I have overthrown him,"

and my enemies rejoice at my downfall.

But for my part I trust in thy true love.

My heart shall rejoice, for thou hast set me free.

I will sing to the Lord, who has granted all my desire.


PSALM 51

Tune: The Last Thing On My Mind

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy steadfast love.

From my iniquity wash me, cleanse me and my sin absolve.

Chorus:

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and within a new spirit impart.

The only sacrifice acceptable to Thee is a broken spirit and a wounded heart.

For well I know my transgressions, they confront me ceaselessly.

Against Thee, Thee only have I sinned, and done what displeases Thee.

For in iniquity I came forth, and in sin I was conceived.

Thou hast hidden truth in darkness that Thy wisdom be perceived.

Thou art blameless in Thy judgment, Thy verdict justified I know.

Take hyssop, sprinkle me and wash me, that I appear as new as snow.

I will teach the transgressors of the way that leads to Thee.

And sinners will again return, if only Thou deliver me.

Let me hear the sounds of gladness, let my broken bones rejoice.

O Lord God, open Thou my lips, that I may praise Thee with my voice.

RAI.IK RATAK

Tune: Sunrise, Sunset

Sailing their ships upon the water, into a future in the blue.

Strong men and women rode the current, moved by a power they knew.

How did they set upon these islands? How did the! know when they were home?

Was it the ocean wind whispering. “Raise your children strong.”

Refrain:

Ralik. Ratak. Ralik Ratak. Brave people born of the sea.

This is the time to sail forth now. Winds of the future calling me.

West winds brought strangers to our shoreline. following the golden sunset here.

Traders in search of precious oil, bringing a far world near.

Missions were built upon the coral: songs of the church filled the air.

Trumpets of war sounded o'er us, weakened yet strengthened our care.

The world is sailing by our door now. Some stop to linger, then move on.

The force that held us on the journey, tells us the future is born.

Once more we walk down to the shoreline, asking the waves which way to go.

Dreams of a life once far beyond us, dreams of a future we know.

RAINDROPS KEEP FALLING ON MY HEAD

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head,

And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed,

Nothin' seems to fit.

Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin',

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun,

And I said I didn't like the way he got things done'

Sleepin' on the job.

Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'.

But there's one thing I know,

The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me,

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me.

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head,

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red.

Cryin's not for me.

'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'

Because I'm free nothin's worryin' me.

Husne lagi hai suraji ki kirne

Mitti mein sona sone ki gunga

Chandi yuva ki yamuna.

Kranti hum karne wale—hai‑hai

Gudiyo ka kangna ghar glai angna

Sara zamana Apna.

RESPONSIBILITY

Tune: Yellow Submarine

Refrain:

Free men live in responsibility, duty bound and free in relativity.

Free men live in responsibility, whoever they may be, their deeds are history.

Observe and judge the given facts. Weigh up the values; decide and act.

You're alone, completely free, leave the judgment to history.

To no principle, no law, to no authority can you withdraw.

You decide it all alone, right from right and wrong from wrong.

Obligation is the call; to God and neighbor surrender all.

The free venture is the deed rendered up to meet the need.

RESURGENCE

Are suddenly transformed.

My own problems fade,

My life's not my own

But given for everyman.

Chorus:

We are called by our brothers

To give them a hope.

We can live our lives for everyman.

We are called by our vision

To give it a form.

We can give our lives for everyman.

Resurgence, life comes anew.­

All is allowed,

Life's cut wide open.

All history awaits,

The advent of life,

The freeing of everyman

Resurgence, life comes anew.

Our's is the task,

Our's is the burden.

We own all the future,

The destiny,

The life, of everyman.

Chorus:

That will shine on everyone.

To herald

Your day of glory. Rise up, rise up . . .

Harness your power

Engage your children

To meet the challenge

Of the future. Rise up, rise up . . .

Land of bright sunshine

Land of great jungles

Create Africa

O land of mystery. Rise up. rise up . . .

RISE UP, O MEN OF GOD

Rise up, O men of God! Have done with lesser things;

Give heart and mind and soul and strength to serve the King of Kings.

Rise up, O men of God! His Kingdom tarries long;

Bring in the day of brotherhood and end the night of wrong.

Rise up, O men of God! The Church for you doth wait;

Her strength unequal to her task; rise up and make her great.

Lift high the cross of Christ! Tread where his feet have trod;

As brothers of the Son of Man, rise up, O men of God!

SEE THE LOCAL PEOPLE

Tune: Brennan On the Moor

There's a great resurgence going on throughout the human race

In communities across this earth, our common human place,

There's a mighty declaration: All the earth belongs to all,

And out of every nation there are those who've heard that call.

Chorus:

See the local people rise,

The local people rise,

From the pain of our planet

See the local people rise.

They began to work together to do the job at hand

All ages and all races, together they did stand

Brought streams of water gushing forth upon the desert floor

And in each heart hope bubbled up where none had been before.

Chorus

At times the way was dark and hard, the vision almost gone

At times there were no colleagues, so they marched on all alone

They're a quiet sort of hero with a quiet sort of care

And yet their courage gives us all a future we can share.

Chorus

And when they share together the victories they've won

They see the task they've been about has only just begun

For until in each community, each daughter, every son,

Can live in human dignity, the task is still undone.

Chorus

When home, sweet home is far away.

I'm a rolling stone who's been so alone

Until today.

Chorus:

Gonna take a sentimental journey

Gonna set my heart at ease,

Gonna make a sentimental journey

To renew old memories.

Got my bag, I got my reservation,

Spent each dime I could afford.

Like a child in wild anticipation,

Long to hear that "All Aboard."

Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven.

I'll be waiting up for Heaven,

Countin' ev'ry mile of railroad track that takes me back.

Never thought my heart could be so "yearny."

Why did I decide to roam?

Gotta take this sentimental journey,

Sentimental journey home

SINGING IN THE RAIN

What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again.

The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love.

Let the stormy clouds chase ev'ry one from the place,

Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face.

I'll walk down the lane with a happy refrain

And singing, just singing in the rain.

SKYE BOAT SONG

Chorus:

"Speed bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,

Onward," the sailors cry!

“Carry the lad that's born to be king,

Over the sea to Skye!"

Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,

Thunder clouds rend the air;

Baffled our foes stand on the shore,

Follow they will not dare.

Through the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep,

Ocean's a royal bed;

Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep

Watch by your weary head.

Many's the lad fought on that day,

Well the day more could wield,

When the night came, silently lay

Dead on Culioden's field.

Burned are our homes, exile and death

Scatter the loyal men;

Yet, e'er the sword cool in the sheath

Charlie will come again.

SMALL CAN BE BEAUTIFUL

Less can be more, and small can be beautiful

Life isn't all just big and wonderful

What do I need when you get right down to it

All my cares come from greed, and it's time that I know it

Things I can't do without

Are the small things that life is all about.

Less can be more, and small can be beautiful

I don't want it all—just part of wonderful

For what do I need when you get right down to it

Just a garden and seed, and the love to pursue it

Things I can't do without

Are the small things that life is all about.

SO LOOK OUT WORLD HERE WE COME!

Come, build a future,

Caring and free,

Working together, to build community.

Just as the farm land is planted each year,

We claim our pride and we decide to make it very clear,

That those who lead us can come from here in our fold

To further make BayCounty as precious as pure gold.

Our BayCounty can be a great sign to see

Of things that can be done,

SOCIAL DEMONSTRATION LOVE SONG

Tune: The Last Farewell

The Land lies dark and shrouded in the Mystery,

Of brokenness and pain of all Mankind.

The consciousness flows forth from every human

A River of Hope begins to wind.

And in the midst of innocent human suffering,

A Mountain of Care begins to swell.

The Sea lies tranquil,

For I have been loved dearly More dearly than the spoken word can tell.

SOME ENCHANTED EVENING

Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger

You may see a stranger, across a crowded room.

And somehow you know, you know even then

That somewhere you'll see her again and again.

Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing,

You may hear her laughing across a crowded room,

And night after night, as strange as it seems,

The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams.

Who can explain it? Who can tell you why?

Fools give you reasons, wise men never try.

Some enchanted evening, when you find your true love,

When you hear her call you across a crowded room.

Then fly to her side, and make her your own,

Or all through your life you may dream all alone.

Once you have found her, never let her go.

Once you have found her, never let her go.

SOMETHING TO SING ABOUT

I have walked 'cross the sand on the

Grand Banks of Newfoundland

Gazed on the ridge of the Miramichi,

Seen the waves tear and roar at the storm coast of Labrador,

Watched them roll back to the great northern sea.

Refrain:

From the Vancouver Island to the Alberta Highland,

'Cross the prairie and the lakes to Ontario's towers,

From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes out to the Maritimes,

Something to sing about, this land of ours.

I have welcomed the dawn from the fields of Saskatchewan.

Followed the sun to the Vancouver shore.

Watched it climb shiny new to the snow peaks of Caribou.

Up to the clouds where the wild Rockies soar.

I have heard the wild wind sing the places that I have been,

Bay Bulls and Red Deer and Strait of Belle Isle,

Names like Grand 'Mere and Silverthrone. Moose Jaw and Marrowbone

Trails of the pioneer, named with a smile.

I have wandered my way to the wild wood of Hudson Bay,

Treated my toes to Quebec's morning dew.

Where the sweet summer breeze kissed the leaves of the maple trees,

Sharing this song that I'm singing to you.

Yes, there's something to sing about, tune up a string about.

Call out in chorus or quietly hum,

Of a land that's still young with a ballad that's still unsung,

Telling the promise of great things to come.

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high

There's a land that I heard of

Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow

Skies are blue,

And the dreams that you dare

To dream really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly.

Birds fly over the rainbow,

Why then, oh, why can't 1?

If happy little bluebirds

Fly above the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't 1?

SONG OF SERVANTHOOD

Tune: Golden Earrings

There's a secret

Mysterious but true,

That when your life is turned to serving

Life bursts forth anew.

When life is destined

To care for all the earth,

You will find courageous living,

Yields again new birth.

Then your whole life long is found to be

Uncertainty

Though your life intends to be creating

History.

To be of service,

With those upon the Way,

Create the story, tell the promise

Of the new found day.

SONG OF THE PROPHETS

Chorus

Out of the depths of history The Cry! The Cry!

Calls forth the prophets of the time to build the new.

We are the ones who see the vision.

Struggle to bring new life to men,

And we know we carry the future of every man.

It called to Jeremiah The Cry! The Cry!

"I send you out to speak the Word and build the New."

He said, "Oh Lord. I am too young, I am too young to do this deed."

But the Lord said, "Jeremiah. I'll give you the strength."

Chorus

Isaiah heard within his heart The Cry! The Cry!

"Whom shall I send and who will go to build the New?"

"I am the one who must decide to breathe new spirit into the hearts of men."

I decide to live on behalf of all.

Chorus

Demanding of Ezekiel The Cry! The Cry!

"Go to my children, sad and tired and build the New.

They have forgotten the vision they saw, the promise of all history

Is theirs to have is only they hear my call."

Chorus

SONG OF THE VOYAGE

Tune: Clouds

The people of this world can see

That they can plan their destiny,

The time has come for unity,

The future's in their hands.

The tear of fear we have denied,

Terror, war and want defied,

On local strength we have relied,

One globe of many lands . . .

Chorus:

Knowing each one's got their chance,

Creation building, life enhance

To be the ones who care within

Our turning, spiraling, whirling world.

We've seen the earth from way out there,

It's filled us with the power to care,

This century calls to risk and share

To be the sign of love;

Now we see the earth as one

No limits block what has begun,

There's time to build for everyone

Create the earth anew . . .

Chorus

SONG SUNG BLUE

Song sung blue ‑ everybody knows one

Song sung blue ‑ every garden grows one

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then

But when you take the blues and make a song,

You sing them out again, sing them out again.

Song sung blue ‑ weepin' like a willow

Song sung blue ‑ sleepin' on my pillow

Funny thing but you can sing it with a cry in your voice

And before you know it start to feelin good

You simply got no choice, simply got no choice.

Song sung blue ‑ everybody knows one.

Song sung blue ‑ every garden grows one.

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then

But when you take the blues and make a song

You sing them out again, sing them out again,

Sing them out again.

SOUTHWEST SINGS OUT

Tune: Do Re Mi

We saw them coming in the past

Trading furs and building farms,

Railroads moved across this land,

Towns sprang up along the way,

Cities mushroomed, buildings loomed,

Oil was found and business boomed,

Schools of learning filled the need

For this new society.

Since John Walters found the place

He could start his life anew

Industries supply the world,

Airlines opening up the North,

Southwest citizens step forth

To build a new community

Speaking out with common voice:

We will make our future great.

Let's all get together now

Build a place for you and me,

A place where we can live and learn,

Sharing all there is to be,

Helping one another grow,

Band together, young and old;

We can hear the future call:

Get together one and all.

Southwest Edmonton Forum

SPIRIT OF CARE

Tune: Send In the Clowns

Lonely the road

Homeland is gone

Deafened by silence—

We travel on.

People who care

Over the world

Strange shadows form

Villages standing as one

Through raging storms

People who care

Spirit of care

No one to hate

Cleanly restored

Finally moving as one spirit

dancing through doors

Surrounded by harmony

echoing two million songs

Earth rise alive

New age belongs

Hope beyond hope

Sacred intent

Ceaselessly suffering

Never relent

People who care

Spirit of care

Triumphantly won

Carried by waves

Lives ever claimed

Nothing compels us to love

Always unnamed

People who care

Spirit of care

Eternally one

STANDING ON THE PROMISES

Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Through eternal ages let his praises ring.

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,

Standing on the promises of God

Refrain:

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God my Savior,

Standing, standing,

I'm standing on the promises of God

Standing on the promises that cannot fail,

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail

By the living word of God I shall prevail,

Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I cannot fall,

Listening every moment to the Spirit's call,

Resting in my Savior, as my all in all,

Standing on the promises of God.

STILLNESS LINGERS IN MY SOUL

I've journeyed on since the world began,

I'll journey on till it ends.

Everyday the same, the Mystery gives no name,

I live each day in wonder.

Refrain:

Stillness lingers in my soul. dark night seems so very long.

All hopes are gone, the restless march moves on.

Silence is my song.

I see my death laughing at me

I see the call to be free.

Tears of joy and pain never explain.

I play life's game in terror.

I hear the suffering calling to me,

I hear the innocent weep.

Care knows no fame there's no thing to gain,

I build the earth in fervor.

I feel a strange power emerging in me.

I feel the pulsebeat of new community

Joy fills my brain, peace now remains

I dance again in rapture.

Last refrain Only:

Stillness lingers in my soul.

STORIES OF NEW LIFE

Tune: Starry, Starry Night/Vincent

Stories of new life

Of people who have willed to do

Together what creates anew

In villages so visions can come true.

Stories of new life,

Fallow fields come into bloom,

Endeavors out of brick and loom

Raise up the poor from centuries' heavy gloom.

Chorus:

The stories must be told,

New signs for all the world to see,

From the pains of hard won victory

The future's breaking free,

We're given back our life in many ways

And grateful for these days.

Stories of new life,

In summer's sun and winter's snow

The working faces beam and glow,

Prepare the road for those they'll never know.

Stories of new life,

A painted wall with rising sun

Where healthy children learn and run,

Clear water flowing—hope and selfhood won.

STORMY WEATHER

Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky, stormy weather.

Since my man and I ain't together,

Keeps rainin’ all the time.

Life is bare. gloom and misery everywhere. stormy weather,

Just can't get my poor self together,

I'm weary all the time.

When he went away the blues walked in and met me

If he stays away old rockin' chair will get me

All I do is pray the Lord above will let me

Walk in the sun once more.

Can't go on. everything I had is gone, stormy weather.

Since my man and I ain't together

Keeps rainin' all the time.

STOUT‑HEARTED MEN

Give me some men who are stout‑hearted men

Who will fight for the right they adore.

Start me with ten who are stout‑hearted men

And I'll soon give you ten thousand more.

Shoulder to shoulder and bolder and bolder

They grow as they go to the foe

Then, there’s nothing in the world can halt or mar our plan.

When stout‑hearted men, can get together man to man.

STRANGER IN PARADISE

Take my hand, I'm a stranger in paradise.

All lost in a wonderland, a stranger in paradise.

If I stand starry‑eyed, that's a danger in paradise,

For mortals who stand beside an angel like you.

I saw your face and I ascended

Out of the commonplace into the rare!

Somewhere in space I hang suspended

Until I know there's a chance that you care.

Won't you answer the fervent prayer of a stranger in paradise?

Don't send me in dark despair from all that I hunger for,

But open your angel arms to a stranger in paradise,

And tell me that I need be a stranger no more.

From: Kismet

STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT

Strangers in the Night

Exchanging glances,

Wondering in the Night

What were the chances

We'd be sharing, love

Before the Night was through.

Something in your eves

Was so inviting,

Something in your smile

Was so exciting

Something in my heart

Told me I must have you.

Strangers in the Night

Two lonely people we were,

Strangers in the Night

Up to the moment when we

Said our first hello,

Little did we know

Love was just a glance away,

A warm embracing dance away and ~

Ever since that Night

We've been together,

Lovers at first sight

In love forever,

It turned out so right

For strangers in the Night.

SUDDENLY LIFE

Tune: Lara's Theme from "Dr. Zhivago"

Suddenly light crosses the surging sea; shadows foretell voyage of destiny.

Suddenly peace dawns in dark tragedy; enemies fade fearless in ecstasy.

Vict'ry: to battle in life's true fight. Vict'ry: life's bursting through death's dark night.

Suddenly joy breaks on the troubled sea; strange rapture swells, captures death's agony.

Suddenly life floods through death's boundary' seized by the storm safe in eternity.

SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET

Grab Your coat and get your hat, leave your worries on the doorstep

Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street.

Can't you hear that pitter pat? And that happy tune is your step.

Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street.

I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade.

But I'm not afraid. this rover crossed over.

If I never have a cent. I'll be rich as Rockefeller,

Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street.

SWEET SURRENDER

No longer lost on some forgotten highway,

Traveled by many, remembered by few,

Looking for something that I could believe in

Looking for something that I'd like to do

With my life.

There's plenty behind me

But nothing to bind me

And right now it seems to be more than enough

To delight in today.

We don't know what the future is holding in store

But know where we're going

We've seen the Star of Hope

There's a spirit that guides us,

A light that shines for us,

Life is worth living, we don't need to see the end.

Sweet, sweet surrender

Live, live with your care

Be like fish in the water

Be like birds of the air.

TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF

Go to daily office still be sure to chart your day

Take good care of yourself, face the Mystery

Rehearse the Word continually or you'll lose your way

Take good care of yourself, belong to history.

Be careful spotting ghosts, mmm, mmm

Move it the most, mmm, mmm

Guard your post, mmm, mmm

Or you'll pack your bag

And be on the run, chum

Give your penny every day, get out of bed by four

Take good care of yourself, you're needed more and more.

Do each programme ev'ry day, spinning tactics through

Take good care of yourself, always wear the blue

Hit the road by eight o'clock, set a date by two

Take good care of yourself, it depends on you

Be quick in moving troops, mmm, mmm

Do circuit loops, mmm, mmm face your bloops, mmm, mmm

Or you'll pack your bag

And be on the run, chum

Be like Jesus all the time, don't go to bed till three

Take good care of yourself, You're TWC.

Catalyze your metro troops, work with local man

Take good care of yourself, build a battle plan

Use your network for the task, trust the global band

Take good care of yourself, as a general can

Be bold in naming blocks, mmm, mmm ‑

Stay out of a box, mmm, mmm

Heal your knocks, mmm, mmm

Or you'll pack your bag

And be on the run, chum.

Change a person's life each day, do more than you can bear

Take good care of yourself, you are those who care.

Step outside your theory boat, act to win the day

Take good care of yourself, risk your life today

Bracket all extraneous cares, hold your foes at bay

Take good care of yourself, and create the Way

Set up a funding call, mmm, mmm

Don't think small, mmm, mmm

Have a ball, mmm, mmm

Or you'll pack your bag

And be on the run, chum

Grasp the Mystery every day, sing in harmony

Take good care of yourself, you're T W C.

TARGWAITH'S NEW VISION

Tune: Sospan fach

There once were three pits in the Village

With coal shafts of Maerdv, East and West.

Great singing in the church every Sunday;

A two mile walk three times a day.

Then came the War, with children sheltered here.

The welcome in the Valley helped them through

The years.

Tai'rgwaith showed new visions for the world.

People say Tai’rgwaith is dead end

With the coal tips ever present here.

But the Dragon stole the Triple Crown and Grand Slam

Great celebration at the club with beer.

Daffodils in bloom, our emblem is a plume.

The houses of the Work, coal is our perks.

Tai'rgwaith hopes new visions for the world.

Creating a new face of the Village

A warm welcome as you enter here

Great singing once again in the Village

A new way of life has now appeared.

People assemble young and old alike:

Decisions being made for our future life

Tai'rgwaith lives new vision for the world.

THAT HE REIGN

Slaves of Christ, his mercy we remember, and his will that our lands for him we win,

That he reign—our witness we shall bear, for all his brethren care,

And his communion share in all our work and prayer.

Refrain:

Slaves of Christ, his mercy we remember, and His will that our lands for Him we win.

Calling men, the laboring and the laden, to his feet that their burdens He may lift.

At his work—their sorrows fully past, their troubles on him cast,

Their sickness healed at last, will men to him hold fast.

Bringing him, our Master and our Savior, where his sword must all false pretenses slay.

That his peace—may shatter human pride, the right from wrong divide,

The widow's cause decide, injustice set aside.

THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC

That old black magic has me in its spell.

That old black magic that you weave so well

Those icy fingers up and down my spine,

The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine.

The same old tingle that I feel inside.

And then that elevator starts its ride,

And down and down I go, ‘round and ‘roud I go.

Like a leaf that’s caught in the tide.

I should stay away, but what can I do?

I hear your name, and I’m aflame.

Aflame with such a burning desire.

That only your kiss can put out the fire.

For you’re the lover I have waited for,

The mate that fate had me created for.

And every time your lips meet mine,

Darling, down and down I go,

‘Round and ‘round I go

In a spin.

Loving the spin I’m in

Under that old black magic called love.

THE 23rd PSALM

Tune: Theme from "High Noon "

The Lord is my shepherd,

I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures

He leadeth me beside still water;

He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness,

For His name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow

Of death, I will fear no evil,

For Thou art with me.

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me,

Thou preparest a table before me

In the presence of my enemies,

Thou anoint'st my head with oil,

My cup runneth over.

Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me

All the days of my life;

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord

Forever, and ever, and ever. Amen.

THE ANCIENT ONES

Our people are the oldest of them all

We'll take the pain and the tragedies of man

We'll live the suffering that none should bear

We are the Ancient ones of all History

We recreate the hope of giving life

We'll share the dreamtime uttered long ago

We'll sing the wonder of the rising sun.

We are the Ancient ones of all History

We have a sign—our people move once more

We're going to hold up the wisdom of the ages

We're going to hold it up for all time

The day is come to run and meet the sun

The way is long but the vision travels with us

We'll fill the future with the wonder of it all.

THE CHURCH

Tune: Theme from “Exodus”

The Church of God is like the pioneer. the sensitive, responsive one.

Who hears the Word of God and sees His judgements.

And has the vision of the resurrection.

The Church of God is like the Israelite, whose voice denounced idolatry.

Who lived in brother‑love, the law responsible.

And thus eventually all nations would be blessed.

The Church of God is like the Nazarene. first risen in obedience.

Who on behalf of all, showed what all men might do.

Who in God's mercy lived and gave that gift to man.

The Church of God, the world‑society, to God‑in‑Christ and Christ‑in‑God

Responds in hope and trust, repents for all Mankind.

And so reduplicates the deed of Jesus Christ.

Let go and nothing be: transcend your life as mystery consumes it.

Strange aweful power is dancing through me, buoyantly forging impossible be

With all my heart I'm poured out endlessly; I'm burdened eternally.

Wholly engulfed in unbounded rapport, doomed for the world, my life wholly outpoured

Always encumbered, tomorrow is here, molding the future the cost of my care.

Burning with wisdom, empowered to do: the weight of the world for all men everywhere

Guardian of all, to all history an heir: absurdly in charge, 'tis the cost of my care.

Repeat first verse without the chorus.

THE COURAGE TO CARE

Tune: Theme from Chariots of Fire

This world in transition, old 'orms lorn apart;

Creates a new mission, demands a new heart.

The new world is crushing the one that we knew.

Our minds barely touching the change rushing through.

Chorus:

But ours is a dream that gives the world

A vision to share

And ours is the hope that gives the people

Courage to care.

The globe is a village some 4 billion strong.

We're building the home where each one can belong

The cry is beyond us, it beckons us on.

Our passion upon us. eternity‑long.

Chorus

If ever a singer were needed to sing

If ever a dreamer were needed to dream,

If ever a people were called to stand,

It's surely this moment, it's surely this land.

Chorus:

Hold on to the dream that gives the world

A vision to share

And cherish the hope that gives the people

Courage to care.

(Repeat last chorus)

. . . a vision to share . . . the courage to care.




THE CRY THAT'S A‑RISING

Tune: The Last Thing On My Mind

In the day that's so painfully dawning

'Cross the earth

'Cross the earth.

There's a local resurgence a‑borning

Strange new birth

Strange new birth.

Chorus:

Come on, join in the journey,

Come on, walk in the way,

Come on, give up your life to the call,

To the cry that's a‑rising from all people

everywhere

That all the earth does now belong to all

In the midst of each struggle and sorrow

Comes the call

Comes the call.

Everybody’s a-building tomorrow

For us all

For us all.

Now it seems that this new world’s appearing

Much too fast

Much too fast.

And the signs of your care, you start a-fearing,

Just won’t last

Just won’t last.

Now it’s hard, it’s confusing and lonely,

Want to rest

Stop and rest.

But the Way, it has chosen you only

You are blessed

Greatly blessed.

THE CRYIN'

Tune: Mariah

Oh, I'm a lost and lonely soul; my heart is full of cryin'.

The cry is not for pain of me—it is my God a‑dyin'.

He calls to me to give him aid, to help him go on livin'.

He bids me smash my house and brain: my life for him be given.

Refrain:

The Cryin', The Cryin', it calls me to my dyin'.

I say, "O Lord, if that be you, I really must be certain.

Pull back the veil and show your face. What lies behind the curtain?"

The Cry responds in anguished tone, "There is no time for showing.

The past and future wait on you, to die your death not knowing."

It's then I feel the pangs of love for earth and men and heaven.

"I'll save these for you Lord." I cry. "And this can be your leaven."

The Cry responds. "It's not for me; you save what you inherit.

For I must crush your world to bones. and grind it into spirit."

"I'm not a God of virtue now, of peace, or of refinement.

It's war against the infidel‑—and that's your one assignment!

The infidel who's satisfied, whose world is staid and stable‑

­Bring that fat beast before my throne and slay him on my table!"

It's then I know what I had known before the world began;

The infidel, the satisfied, 'tis I who am that man!

Oh, I'm a lost and lonely soul; my heart is full of cryin'.

The Cry is now for pain of me—my God and I are dyin'.

Final Refrain:

The Cryin', the Cryin', new life will come from dyin'.

THE DRAMA OF HUMANNESS

Tune: Reunited

Human Journey, we are on the way

Human Journey, it's a glorious day

Nudging the edge of the whole human race

To force the consciousness to greet the age of space—It's here

Human Drama, we are in the play

Human Drama, let's decide to stay

The past and the present. it's glory and strife

Create the odyssey that gives the fulfilled life—It's ours

Tune: The Future Belongs to All

The flowers of the meadow are greeting the sun; the trees in the forest stand tall.

But gather together to march as one: the earth belongs to all.

Chorus:

All of the goods of the earth and all decisions of history,

And all the inventions of humanness belong to all men through me.

The branch of the linden is leafy and green; the maples are golden in fall.

But somewhere a glory awaits unseen: the earth belongs to all.

The cries of the innocent sound in their pain, the tyrant has vanquished the small.

A powerful ruler lies bound in chains, till earth belongs to all.

A dream of the future is beckoning me. Like waltz music heard at a ball.

The morning will come when all men shall see: the earth belongs to all.

Oh Father, Oh Father, Mysterious Power, your children are gathered to call:

Use us as thy servants to haste the hour the earth belongs to all.

THE EARTH IS NOT MY HOME

Tune: Tradition

This earth is not my home

I am a stranger here

I saw around the globe

A mighty word appear.

It seized my deepest soul

And made me realize

The world's a mystery

It rings with ancient cries

The Mystery

The Mystery

It flashed before by eyes

And then it went away

I seek it constantly

But lose it every day

I trust it to my death

It carries all my dreams

Its wholeness fills my life,

My brokenness redeemed.

THE EXEMPLARS

Tune: Men of Harlech

Humanness is in the making.

Ancient powers that bind are breaking

Rending all the earth.

Every human heart is yearning

Fate to destiny is turning

Calling forth new birth.

See the fallen standing,

Victory demanding;

Summon all to serve the call

Defeat of the foe commanding.

March ye generals on to glory.

Vision pain proclaim the story.

Death's fair banner waving o'er ye

Claiming victory!

THE FIRST GENERATION

We're the first generation of the new earth coming fast.

We're the first generation of the new earth our fate is cast.

Born into dark mystery, a turning point in history. We see the task, we are the ones.

We're the new men and new women, all that we are is for global change.

We're the new men and new women in the midst of a world where we seem so strange.

Showing all the radical style, picking up that extra mile.

We see the task, we are the one.

We see our lives as lonely stars within a vast black void.

We see our lives as intense fire eternally deployed.

Every move is filled with fright, yet shines through in the black of night.

We see the task, we are the ones.

THE FUTURE AWAITS

Tune: You Light up My Life

Cries of the earth come crashing upon me

The wanting, the striving, the search for the way.

So many dreams were locked deep inside me.

At last we unite in one common quest.

Over the earth people awaken

Claiming the cause‑‑a new world for all.

So many dreams are waiting to happen

We're linked as one with one destiny.

Facing the future with mixed fear and gladness

Forging the courage to stand to the end.

So many dreams! A global resurgence

With passion for all we summon the new.

Chorus:

Now, now is the time

Now is our chance

To care for all

The future awaits for us

To build with hope.

Coda:

Now is our time, the future awaits

And we'll build a new day.

The Iron formation once began.

Centuries, creation of the Iron.

A deep red vein that ran and ran

The Giant lay sleeping on and on.

The Lightning Bolt of Iron.

The people made of Iron.

Sign to the World,

A future to be claimed.

Iron Men, they battled with the ore.

They dug the pits so vast and deep.

The Iron awoke from ancient sleep,

The ore that built our century.

Refrain

Today the stories still are told,

Of mighty Iron Men of old,

Who dreamed of new communities.

The Dream remembered from a few

That Iron Men will start anew,

With visions of new vitality.

THE GIFT

Tune: There Will Never Be Another You

The way has found you, the world around you,

Responding rhythm to something new,

A path of light of hope shines through the clouds

And darkness melts away,

For never could there be another one like you.

A heart is burdened, a shadow darkened,

A lone reflection of something true,

But then a glory glows in emptiness

And shadows pass away,

For never could there be another one like you.

A gift is given, a vision hidden,

The Mystery will await for you,

For nevermore afraid will life awake

To emptiness and pain,

For never will there be another one like you.

The God of Abraham praise, all praised be his Name,

Who was, and is, and is to be, and still the same!

The one eternal God, ere aught that now appears;

The First, the Last; beyond all thought his timeless years!

His spirit floweth free, high surging where it will;

In prophet's word he spoke of old‑‑ he speaketh still.

Established is his law, and changeless it shall stand,

Deep writ upon the human heart, on sea, or land.

He hath eternal life, implanted in the soul;

His love shall be our strength and stay, while ages roll.

Praise to the living God! All praised be his Name,

Who was, and is and is to be, and still the same!

THE GUILDSMEN CALL TO ARMS

Guildsmen call forth human passion

Be resurgent life

Build the Earth and be the craftsmen

For servant soldiers of the league

Launching global tactics to

Enable man's globality

Serving parish needs

To bring it humanizing change

On behalf of all mankind

Healing suffering

And giving life to local man.

A joyous dance, a waltz, a ball

Standing in the sweep of time

Creating bold new humanness

Courageous clowns of history

Revealing fate as destiny

Fighting knights who give to all men

Authentic life.

Did you call for miracles?

For dedicated global men?

We have come to beckon you

Resurgent times are here

We can engage to build the Earth

And be the sign that all the Earth

Belongs to every local man

Bear the mark of this demand

That's how we give our lives to care

In global guilds.

THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM

To dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbeatable foe,

To bear with unbearable sorrow, to run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong, to love pure and chaste from afar,

To try when your arms are too weary, to reach the unreachable star.

This is my quest, to follow that star,

No matter how hopeless, no matter how far,

To fight for the right without question or pause

To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause.

And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest

That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest.

And the world will be better for this,

that one man scorned and covered with scars

Still strove with his last ounce of courage, to reach the unreachable star.

From: The Man of La Mancha

Tune: Bye, Bye, Love

Come to me, all you who labor, and are heavy laden'

The call comes daily. confronting me: all former patterns are shaken free.

The man exalted, the God brought low: behind this offense, my death I know.

I'm at the crossroads, I must decide to live offended or faith confide.

There is no reason, the cross to choose: it's my election' my life to lose.

The Church triumphant is yet to be, always becoming in history.

The one salvation, severity: the Church's task is to set men free.

Called by four billion people

Living a prayer.

Cries of forgotten ones have rung since the stars were born;

Our ancestors call us through the Yearning.

Cries of forgotten ones will ring 'til the stars grow cold,

In the dance of life and death they glory.

THE JOURNEY OF YOUR SERVING

Tune: Perhaps Love

And the journey of your serving starts with seeing human pain,

When your caring shocks your consciousness, you know you're not the same,

For who you always thought you were turns meaningless and vain,

The journey calls you to the Mystery's claim.

And the journey of your serving shows the suffering of all,

And your strength turns into weakness, and your courage is too small,

And yet the hopes of all the earth without your life will fall,

The journey makes expenditure the call.

The journey then assaults you with life's absurdity,

Each sacrifice seems futile, each sign, a mockery,

You want to turn away from care, to live apostasy,

And yet the journey's chosen you, your life's humility.

And the journey of your serving engulfs you with demand,

Though unworthy, you submit yourself to Mystery's command,

And though you long for just one sign that history understands,

In Being's trust the journey lets you stand.

In the journey of your serving you are always on the Way,

Though despair is your companion, though you're tempted to betray,

And even if you wander far and all your hope is gone,

The journey of your serving journeys on.

THE JOURNEY’S END

Tune: Play Me

The Quest is o'er.

Refrain:

Dark is the Night,

Glorious the fight,

Long is the March,

Fullness my plight,

Mystery!

Future it beckons

An endless pathway

The world now leads me to total giving;

It's a new day.

I've seen the Way.

Faith is renewed.

My journey empowered.

Darkness illumined by ceaseless serving

of Humankind.

The Journey's end.

My care is friend.

Refrain

Final verse:

Trusting the final One

Loving the Journey

Obey the Election and love the All

THE KINGDOM

Tune: The Rose

When the world begins its breaking

and the past is all undone

And when justice is forsaken

and the battle's far from won,

Then there comes a new awakening,

a vision like the sun.

When faith remains unshaken

It is then the kingdom comes.

When the world seems filled with darkness

and our dreams are smashed and torn,

When we fly from our own weakness

Taking refuge from the storm

Then a care comes to engage us

like the dawn of a new morn

When love has overcome us,

It is then the power is born.

And when life seems dead and empty

like a dry and dusty plain,

When the wish for peace and plenty

enlarges all our pain,

Then serving takes our safety

yet fullness still remains.

When hope comes from the mystery

It is then that glory reigns.

THE KING'S BUSINESS

Tune: The King’s Business

I am a stranger here within a foreign land.

My home is far away upon a golden strand.

Ambassador to be to realms beyond the sea.

I'm here on business for my king.

Refrain:

This is the message that I bring,

A message angels fain would sing.

Oh. be ye reconciled,

Thus saith my Lord and King.

Oh, be ye reconciled to God.

There is a desert there that breaks the surest soul.

All meaning seared away makes life an empty role.

Yet on that arid plain there falls eternal rain

And that’s the pause in our return.

There is a darkness there, profound as death’s domain

The mortal blow to sight leaves hopelessness and pain.

Yet in that pitchest night there shines the glory light.

And that’s the pause in my return.

There is a burning there that’s like the flame of hell.

It’s an apostasy beyond man’s power to quell.

Yet in that aweful fire there sings a holy choir,

And that’s the pause in my return.

Refrain:

There is a stillness there that’s like a violent gale.

And in that ecstasy I know my native vale.

’Tis then I hear the cry of brothers doomed to die.

And that’s the cause of my return.

Refrain:

I am a stranger here, within a foreign land.

My home is far away upon a golden strand,

Ambassador to be to realms beyond the sea.

I’m here on business for my king.

In the land of the Papago

Adobe bricks keep our houses cool.

Fences built of ocotilla.

Saguaro ribs shield us from the sun.

Reuniting all families;

Join along with Pisinemo.

Solemn strength that stands forever

Can create future history.

This the quality that the Papago

Demonstrate for the world to see.

And the burden of its care stands o'er us.

And the joy that we've found is beyond all human ground.

With the twenty‑five as the district signs

Then saturation sweeps through the six

And those districts are never the same

Now all the rest, those talukas left,

Bring us home to the two thirty two.

We see industries in the twenty‑five each

at twenty people strong

And with district schemes for each HDP

Visibility can't go wrong.

But for those who may have doubts

The village jewels shine out.

There are circuits strong that we're marching on

Circuit meetings mark the way

With the guardians always on our side

At the flanks they always will stay

In the lead who'd ask for more

Then the village leaders core.

Marching troops arrive from across the land

Gram Sabha it sounds the call.

With our leaders trained in most every way. ­

We are full‑rank generals all

And to armies lying low HDTI will go.

THE MYST'RY IS EVERYWHERE

Tune: Desert Song

The Myst'ry is everywhere: I'm trapped in awe for e'er and e'er!

And I must roam through life with all its care, grasping nought for certain except my dying.

Why should I so driven be to bear with such absurdity?

Still I shall die yearning, lost in the wonder of mystery.

The Myst'ry is everywhere: I'll ne’er escape its awful stare!

Destroyed, unveiled, within a searing glare, doomed to live transparent within my dying.

Why am I condemned to see the pow'r of this finality?

Still I shall die yearning, lost in the wonder of mystery.

The Myst'ry is everywhere: and changes all beyond compare.

It runs to breathe surprise into the air and I find a strange new life in my dying.

Why should I the chosen be to dance with this vitality?

Still I shall die yearning, lost in the wonder of mystery.

The Myst'ry is everywhere: yet I must doubt this one so fair,

For none can ever know its secrets rare and I'll ever be lonely in my dying.

Why's this awful love in me become my sole reality?

Still I shall die yearning, lost in the wonder of mystery.

We give our lives for its rebirth.

We'll be a sign to all the nations

For the next 200 years.

THE OTHER WORLD

Tune: The Blue Danube

In mystery strange new land I see, the river of consciousness flows free

A mountain of care this world for me, and tranquil like sea within there be.

My life is transformed, now wonder‑filled, no more shall I live as once I lived,

The other world here in this world is the world that all shall see.

A land strange and vast, an endless plain, the awe‑filling meadow lost in rain,

The rocks and the trees on magic ground, entrapped in the mystery I'm found.

The river that wanders ceaselessly, with consciousness wild, the rapids, free.

From spring to the sea, a wide expanse, submissive awareness, endless dance.

A mountain there looms with crags so high, a path winding upward toward the sky,

Upon boulders etched with lines of care, o'ershadowed by worlds my strength so rare.

The sea whisp'ring waves encompass all, e'er beckons with endless rolling call,

Implosion in vibrant silent deeps, unspeakable joy within me leaps.

THE PEREGRINE'S ROUTE

Tune: Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Chorus:

Come with me, we will be fire 'cross the snow

Exploding the moment wherever we go

Calling forth selfhood, deciding to win

Methods and spirit are what we can bring.

This is the season of cold wind and snow

Nature lies shrouded, the land waits to grow

Down the long highways the circuiters go

Drawn by the trends of the future that blow.

Streets full of people with so much to do

Planning, expending, creating the new,

Working together where once there were few

Showing the world that the dream can come true.

O what a myst'ry to finally care

To lay down your life and to conquer despair;

O what a richness the world has to share

Global communities rise everywhere.

THE PREPARATION AND THE CRY

Tune: Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme

Free yourself from the mind—seeks to order all that is,

And free yourself from the heart's terror, that seeks essence in all things.

Sail calmly toward the abyss, learn to say that nothing exists,

So conquer hope, the greatest temptation, find the freedom you have sought.

Then at time of great happiness, time of virtue or despair,

Someone within will cry out, "Oh, help me!" as he struggles to be free

If you do not hear this voice, do not set out on the march;

You must continue to prepare, till within you hear this cry:

"I, the Cry, am the Lord your God! Not a hope or a home,

I am your general, we are not friends; you are my comrades in arms."

THE PROMISE

Tune: Circle Game

Canada, the land of endless promise.

Of lakes and rivers, open skies and trees

A country owning all horizon's vastness,

Of mountains, plains and silent inland seas.

Refrain:

And the people are waiting for

Vision that calls forth more

Than all the past could ever dream to be,

A present time that holds the sign of new community,

And will be the future gift for all to see.

A fishing fleet that sails three open oceans,

A rocky shield, a mine of wealth untold.

Granaries and factories in motion'

Rising towers, a future to behold.

Winter's wind turns night to freezing shadows,

Summer sun creates an endless day.

People of the world in every window'

Two nations share the light of a new day.

Ancient ones who roamed the country's wonder,

Still live to see what each tomorrow brings.

Behind the land there rolls a mighty thunder

That Canada and all the future sings.

THE REHEARSAL

Tune: Let All Mortal Flesh

Out of Egypt God called a people

Led them through the troubled sea.

Forty years of wandering in the desert

Faithless yet sustained mysteriously,

Land of milk and honey was their vision,

Destined to create history.

Out of Israel God called his prophets

Gave to them the power to be bold.

Ordained to proclaim the word of judgment

And mercy in the covenant of old.

A world of brotherhood, of no idolatry,

Was the promised future that they told.

Like a dove the spirit descended,

Calling forth the carpenter’s son.

Forty days abandoned in the desert

Tempted, he rebuked the evil one.

He went forth to preach and heal his brothers,

The style of cruciformity begun.

The son of man was destined to suffer

All alone he faced that dreadful day.

When the crowd dried out, Crucify him,

Willingly he gave his life away.

The bleeding broken man came leaping from the tomb,

Showing all the resurrection way.

Like flaming tongues the spirit descended

The Church of Jesus birthed in history.

Tried in desert tombs and persecuted

Raised from ruins a new society.

When perversions came and mission was lost

Bold new voices cried to set her free

These are the times and we the people

Led forth in fascinating fears

All the earth belongs to all the people

Is the vision of our forty years,

Cadre, congregation, parish is our prayer.

From death the resurrected life appears.

THE REPLICATION SONG

Chorus:

Demonstration is the sign for all the earth

Replication moves it on to mass rebirth

So now awaken and engage for this we stand

250 replicate across the land.

Site selection is the sign for victory

Indirection in maneuvering the key

Get out your tools and make your grid the winning

250 replicate across the land.

Chorus:

Local man is now awaiting for the call

And Gram Sabha becomes the time for standing tall

So forge the vision put the future in their hands

250 replicate across the land.

Chorus

Move in the troops and now their presence is the time

To build anew the village too becomes a sign.

The battle won. but just begun. the Iron Man,

250 replicate across the land.

Chorus:

THE ROSE

Some say love it is a river

That drowns the tender reed.

Some say love it is a razor

That leaves your soul to bleed.

Some say love it is a hunger

An endless aching need.

I say love it is a flower

And you its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking

That never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of waking

That never takes the chance.

It's the one who won't be taken

Who cannot seem to give

And the soul afraid of dyin'

That never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely

And the road has been too long

And you think that love is only

For the lucky and the strong.

Just remember in the winter

Far beneath the bitter snows

Lies the seed that with the sun’s love

In the spring becomes the rose.

THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE

The shadow of your smile when you are gone

Will color all my dreams and light the dawn.

Look into my eyes my love and see

All the lovely things you are to me.

Our wistful little star was far too high,

A teardrop kissed your lips and so did I.

Now when I remember Spring.

All the joy that love can bring,

I will be remembering

The shadow of your smile

THE SIGN

Tune: The Triumphal Entry March from Aida

Born to forge, out of the darkest night, the sign of abundant life.

In the midst of strife, struggling, suffering, consuming awe.

Born to join in the long march with those who love the shattered earth.

Calling forth new birth, loving all, serving all, unto death.

Refrain:

The silence has deafened them, the stillness enlivened them.

The future has chosen them to give their lives …

Go forth in love for the mystery, beloved of history;

Blessed in the call, sign of faith, sign of hope, signal of love.

The cry to build the vision of common earth resounds in the heart of men.

Across the sweep of time, echoing, echoing human need.

And hist’r’s saints with ageless voices claim the promise of mystery’s love

Laying down their lives, following, following, giving all.

THE SINGLE MIND

Tune: A Great and Mighty Wonder

Refrain:

Obedience the armor, our poverty the sign,

Our chastity the battle to create the single mind.

The journey of the spirit demands full heart and mind;

To forge the universal on behalf of all Mankind.

To sacrifice as mission, take up your shield and rod;

March on the road, true comrades, of obedience to God.

True poverty in spirit your style and symbol be;

That all Mankind may follow the call to set God free.

Come colleagues of the journey, give up your will to God's,

Become the bloody footsteps on the road our fathers trod.

THE SONG OFCONVERGENCE

Tune: A Fugue for Tinhorns

The GCF's in town, it is the best around

For waking people up to what can happen in their town.

They laugh, they sing they talk about most everything.

The past they view, the future lies before them new.

Nearby's a GSD there's such a lot to see.

People living working, being new community.

They build, they guild, the village life is ever filled.

With hope. the hope of every village soon renewed.

The GSF steps in, you know they're here to win.

The serving. giving. hoping, working way is where they've been.

They know, they do, they be the presence of the blue.

In youth, in age, they take the lead on history's stage.

Belongs to every man

One must behold a thousand years

And thus unceasing stand.

Our eyes nave seen a thousand years;

We must unceasing stand

And prophesy that all the earth

Belongs to every man.

We're on the edge for all mankind

In the struggle of our time.

Life is a resurrected deed

Lived that all men be free,

Responding to the global need

In particularity.

Within the painful fire of change

Are lived for all mankind.

When the ten will build as one

And be a sign for all the world

A vision that the earth belongs to all

Shall move as one.

THE TIME IS SURELY COMING

Tune: Farewell to Nova Scotia

In the hamlets by the rivers the spirit sleeps.

The cities' streets are dark with tear.

An elder waits, his wisdom stanched.

While children sit with suff’ring eyes, no vision clear.

Refrain:

For the day is surely coming. and soon shall be,

When this falt'ring globe again shall see.

The power and the glory alive and free.

Of local people wakened in community.

Through the stifled sobs of anguish for human lives,

Waste in pointless search' no meaning see.

Amidst the pain‑tilled silence we hear the cry,

"Oh, who will venture now to set my people free?"

Refrain:

And around the world responding, a varied band

Those Who Care called out by love to be.

Proclamation of the world, showing life abundant now,

Leading Mankind to the vision given all to see.

THE TRUMPETS ARE SOUNDING

The trumpets are sounding announcing a new day

Souls are re‑aligning, the remnant greets the Way

Once dead—I wake

We scatter across the globe and meet some day.

The trumpets are sounding, announcing a new way

The vision is unfolding and light now paves the way

Struck blind—I see

There's no one else to build the earth but me.

The trumpets are sounding announcing a new Man

Community's emerging, we march from land to land

Once deaf—I hear

The beat of life and feel no thing to fear.

The trumpets are sounding proclaiming a new world

New castles are rising, their spires like flags unfurled.

Once weak—I'm strong

I leave the past behind and march along.

THE VICTORY SONG

Tune: The French Military Marching Song

If you would a winner be in making trends reality,

Join the surging local will to build the new community.

And with Town Meeting we'll fulfill this destiny.

THE VISION

Tune: Sounds of Silence

We heard the cry from the past, we heard the cry set forth at last;

Our ancestors plead to live our time,

The crimson line their only awesome sign.

Now all the earth cries out within our hearts: agony.

Comes the dawn of silence.

Beyond the wanderings of time, beyond the race of all Mankind;

I see living bodies torn and crushed,

Life emerging from the arid dust.

Now the face I see is dark beyond all hope: mystery.

Comes the dawn of silence.

Pain and joy and hope unfold, pain and joy and hope untold;

We cannot contain ascending life,
Nor escape the chaos and the strife.

Now the wonder of our God is struggle and love: eternally.

Comes the dawn of silence.

Lightning moment blazing spark, lightning moment in our dark;

The birth and death of every star and tree,

The dread assault of spirit within me.

Then God confronts me with terror and with love: ecstasy.

Comes the dawn of silence.

Burning flame and life is born, burning flame and all is gone;

Trembling and afraid above the abyss,

Grasping now that only nothing exists.

Then I plumb the abyss, my life becomes new birth, ceaselessly.

Comes the dawn of silence.

THE VOICE OF GOD IS CALLING

The voice of God is calling

It summons unto men;

As once He spake in Zion,

So now He speaks again.

Whom shall I send to succor

My people in their need?

Whom shall I send to loosen,

The bonds of shame and greed?

I hear my people crying

In cot and mine and slum;

No field or mart is silent,

No city street is dumb.

I see my people falling

In darkness and despair.

Whom shall I send to shatter

The fetters which they bear?

We heed, O Lord, thy summons,

And answer: Here are we!

Send us upon thine errand,

Let us thy servants be.

Our strength is dust and ashes,

Our years a passing hour;

But thou canst use our weakness

To magnify thy power.

From ease and plenty save us;

From pride of place absolve;

Purge us of low desire;

Lift us to high resolve.

Take us, and make us holy;

Teach us Thy will and way.

Speak and behold! we answer!

Command, and we obey!

THE WAY

Korean Folk Tune

In the way tranquil struggle harmoniously

All living together hopefully

In this mystery a new life is given

Brother and sisters are walking in the way.

THE WAY OF THE CROSS LEADS HOME

I must needs go home by the way of the cross, there's no other way but this.

I shall ne'er get sight of the gates of light, if the way of the cross I miss.

Chorus:

The way of the cross leads home; the way of the cross leads home.

It is sweet to know, as I onward go, the way of the cross leads home.

I must needs go on in the blood‑sprinkled way, the path that the Savior trod,

If I ever climb to the heights sublime, where the soul is at home with God.

Then I bid farewell to the way of the world, to walk in it never more.

For my Lord says, "Come," and I seek my home where he waits at the open door.

THE WAY OF THE EARTH

Korean Folk Tune

Local men now awaken

New humanity;

On the farms, in the city,

New society;

Marching forth to the new beat,

Declaring hope for all.

We are they, the caring servants;

Tomorrow is today.

Chorus:

Now join the endless journey

And walk in the way

Let life go; do the one deed;

And be then filled full.

Future earth now arises,

New globality;

By our hands, with our spirit

New community;

Building now with a new will,

Engaging every gift

We are they, the spirit people;

Tomorrow is today.

Chorus

THE WAY TO THE FUTURE

Tune: I m Working My Way To the Future

Refrain.

We are building the way to the future

With a burning love inside.

We are building the way to the future

In a rolling, swelling tide.

Come and build the way . . .

Each and every day.

The globe is spinning fervently,

Care is calling endlessly,

The world has seized us in its crying need

To be engagers in the deed.

Now we can forge the face of tomorrow,

The joy and the terror surround us.

Every day, the future calls

To risk the new, for a brand new day.

Refrain

The task of greatness brings such awful shame,

Someone else should take this claim,

But though despair exposes all our fear,

We serve the Mystery's call to hear

That we can forge the face of tomorrow,

The joy and the terror surround us.

Every day, the future calls

To risk the new, for a brand new day.

Refrain

We know our passion is not ours alone,

We're given to a vast unknown.

Creation is compassion, we are care,

Entrusted to be those who dare.

And we will forge the face of tomorrow,

The joy and the terror surround us.

Every day, the future calls

Risk the new——A brand new day—

Yes, every day the future calls.

THE WORLD IS ALWAYS WAITING

Tune: I Don't Know How To Love Him

The world is always waiting

For a new inspiration

To believe, really believe

That each brand new birth,

Upon the earth

Has one great life to live

And death to give.

The world is always waiting

For a new demonstration

That it can, it really can

Forge a brand new path,

Straight through the ash

Of what has died and gone,

And carry on.

It doesn't matter now

How you came to know

But if you're the one

You have to let it show.

So take this task to be your own

Prepare to stand alone.

The world is always waiting

For a new invitation

To decide, finally decide

To hear the call, to give it all

Though broken, tired and torn,

And be reborn.

THIS EARTH IS NOT MY HOME

Tune: Tradition

This earth is not my home, I am a stranger here.

I saw around the globe a mighty word appear.

It seized my deepest soul and make me realize

The world's a mystery: it rings with ancient cries.

The Mystery! The Mystery!

It flashed before my eyes, and then it went away.

I seek it constantly, but lose it every day.

I trust it to my death: it carries all my dreams:

Its wholeness fills my life, my brokenness redeemed.

The Mystery! The Mystery!

THIS IS OUR TASK

Tune: The Impossible Dream

To care the uncareable care,

To see the unseeable claim,

To do the undoable wonder,

To speak the unceasing demand.

To call the unfaceable call

To love the unloveable past,

To will unalternable vision,

To rule the insuferable pain.

Refrain

To hope unendurable hope.

To hear the unhearable cry.

To trust the encounterable passion.

To free the obedient path

To dance discontinuous dance,

To choose the unchoosable way.

To style the unstrustable silence

To reach the incrutable face.

Refrain

To pray the unspeakable prayer

To lose the invaluable worth

Top bear the unbearable burden

To leap the indifferent Abyss

To risk unforseeable risk

To be the unbeatable sign

To join insurmountable mystery

To burn in unquenchable flame.

This is our Task

To conquer the mode

A body of power

A body that dies

Never to rest

But to follow the cry

To whatever it leads

To walk the unceaseable walk

To follow the cry

This journey of our God

This death we must die.

THIS IS THE YEAR

Tune: New York, New York

We're doing it here

And saying it now.

It's time to make a start of it,

This is the year.

Historically clear.

And shouting it out loud.

Get to the very heart of it.

This is the year.

We're going to make it for the future through the past.

Pull it together for now, and make it last.

We're building the base

To carry us through.

And doing more than stating it

This is the year.

We're finding new ways

Of being the blue.

Hammer and nails creating it,

This is the year.

We're going to do it so the whole wide world will know

If these are the times, this is the year!

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND

Chorus:

This land is your land, this land is my land.

From California to the New YorkIsland,

From the RedwoodForest to the Gulf Stream waters.

This land was made for you and me.

As I was walkin' that ribbon of highway,

I saw above me that endless skyway,

And I saw below me that golden valley,

This land was made for you and me.

I've roamed and rambled.

And I've followed my footsteps,

To the sparkling sand of her diamond deserts,

And all around me a voice is sounding,

This land was made for you and me.

When the sun comes shining,

And I was strolling,

And the wheat fields waving

and the dust clouds rolling,

As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting,

This land was made for you and me.

THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD

Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.

They shall mount up on wings as eagles.

They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint,

Help us, Lord, help us, Lord, in Thy way.

Those who love the Mystery . . .

Those who live the risen life . . .

Those who serve the suffering world . . .

Those who die on the march . . .

Till the tropic sun grows cold,

Till this young world grows old

My darling I'll adore you.

You are my reason to live:

All I own I would give

Just to have you adore me.

Till the rivers flow upstream,

Till lovers cease to dream

Till then, I'm yours, be mine.

TILL THERE WAS YOU

There were bells on the hill, but I never heard them ringing,

No. I never heard them at all, till there was you.

There were birds in the sky, but I never saw them winging,

No. I never saw them at all, till there was you.

And there was music, and there were wonderful roses, they tell me.

In sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew,

There was love all around, but I never heard it singing,

No, I never heard it at all, till there was you

TO BUILD A FUTURE

Tune: You Are my Sunshine

We were a mixture of many peoples.

We came to claim the right to live.

We found each other.

We worked together.

We became the envy of all.

Today we wonder where we are going.

We fight and fatter, we lose our way.

We now are asking what is of value,

For the future's fresh dawning day.

To build a future for every neighbor,

To see ourselves as friend to aft,

To love the tend and share it wisely,

Will make the whose world very small.

TO CARE FOR ALL

Tune: I Won't Live a Day

To care for all, I seek to know what history

Has called for me to bring to be

The mystery consumes my vision constantly,

Yet finally, no end I see.

Refrain

When there's no getting over that rainbow;

When my smallest of dreams won't come true

I can take all the madness the world has to give

But I won't last a day without you.

For All in All, I strive to serve with miracles,

Which freedom gives, for all to live.

Though passion dies, and loneliness is never filled,

Creation cries, compassion give.

Burdened with All, I am the one who suffers so

Beloved still, a sign that calls

For others who with ceaseless love for this whole world

Would bend their will, to care for all.

Tune: I Won't Live A Day Without You

Has called for me, to bring to be

The mystery consumes my vision constantly

Yet finally, no end I see.

For All in All

I strive to serve with miracles

Which freedom gives, for men to live.

Though passion dies

And loneliness is never filled

Creation cries, compassion gives.

Burdened with All

Beloved still, a sign that calls.

For others who with ceaseless love for this whole world

Would bend their will, to care for all.

Tune: Swing on a Star

Chorus:

Would you like to build on your dreams?

Fill the world with all of your schemes?

West Covina's where you should be.

Come on along and join with me.

The Ranchos of yesteryear, with folks roaming free.

Our rugged people had a job to do.

They made a beginning here for me and you.

So if we just take a lesson from the past

Roll up your sleeves and build to last!

Chorus

The progress we've made today is wondrous to see

Involvement is how it's come to be.

To meet the challenges we face today.

So if you think you would like to lend a hand,

The future here is really grand!

Building on yesterday, we move out all fear.

Because tomorrow's where we are! ­

West Covina Town Meeting

TOP OF THE WORI.D

Such a feelings coming over me:

l here is wonder in most everything I see,

Not a cloud in the skv, got the sun in my eves

And I won't be surprised if it's a dream.

Everything I want the world to be

Is now coming true especially for me.

And the reason is clear, it's because you are here;

You're the nearest thing to heaven that I see.

Refrain:

I'm on the top of the world lookin' clown on creation,

And the only explanation I can find,

Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around,

Your love's put me at the top of the world.

Something in the wind just learned my name,

And it's telling me that things are not the same,

In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze,

There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me.

There is only one wish on my mind;

When this day is through I hope that I will find

That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me

All I need will be mine if you are here.

Repeat refrain

Men of Uptown march on tall!

VICTORY'S CRY (Inyan Wakagapi)

Tune: Dakota Hymn

Beneath the swirl of wind and old worlds.

Still currents stir life's deeps.

Out of the chaos eyes open wide

Merge in the silence and beckon new life

Plunged in night's well, the sun star appears,

Waking the Earth and Sea.

Dancing our dreams and singing our times.

New beings build new lives.

Teamed in the bond of mystery's love,

Transforming souls untouched by hope's trust.

In noontide's heat, communities appear.

Moving the Earth and Sea

Ageless and sweeping as fire through the lands,

New spirit burns new paths.

Soaring as eagles, namelessly rise,

Steadfastly leagued in victory's cry,

Dusk's glory comes as rivers of care,

Cover the Earth and Sea.

VOGAR TO THE DAWN

Tune: Nakamoto Kakina

Refrain:

Geese fly high so proud and flee.

Strong as the folk of Vogar.

Fly together proud to be,

Sign of Vogar.

Through the frozen waters

Breaking through the barriers,

Gathering from two peoples,

Strength for future life.

Men cross turbulent waters,

Traverse plains and woodlands,

Settle tranquil lakesides,

History gives new life.

Poplar leaves are trembling,

Wind blows through our living,

Spirit moves in dark times,

Sunlight in the night.

Vogar grasps the future,

Weaving strands together

Singing songs and dancing,

Vogar to the dawn.

VOOM VOOM ASTRONAUT

Tune: Baa, Baa Black Sheep

Chant: (Countdown)

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0

Blast Off!!!!

Voom, voom, Astronaut! are you having fun

With the moon and the stars and the very large sun?

Do you like it being all alone?

Or would you rather be back home? Voom, voom,

Astronaut! are you having fun?

With the moon and the stars and the very large sun?

WALK UPON THIS PLANET

Tune: Snowbird

Amidst a world in trouble it is true

There are songs of hope and vision that are starting to break through.

The chaos may be ringing in your ears,

But the voices won't stop singing until everybody hears.

Chorus:

Walk upon this planet, call it "Home"

From the highest celebration to the deepest pain‑filled moan.

This worried world is yearnlng to forgive

And reveal the unity where all together people live.

The truth is higher than a bird can fly.

It's bigger than a mountain—even wider than the sky.

It's deeper than the wells inside the mind

And it's more than what we're seeking or could ever hope to find.

WARRIORS GO

Warriors go where I send thee.

How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send thee:

One by one one for the universal

One, one, one with history.

Two for the ying yang struggle . . .

Three for the Father Son and Holy Ghost . . .

Four for the New Religious . . .

Five for the Social Method . . .

Chorus

Six for the Holy Vision . . .

Seven for the Sacred Negation . . .

Eight for the YES of ecstacy . . .

WATCH YE THEREFORE

Watch ye, therefore, ye know not the day,

When the Lord shall call your soul away.

If you labor, striving for the right,

You shall wear a golden crown.

Be not like the foolish virgins ten,

For he's coming and you know not when.

Keep your lamps all trimmed and burning bright,

You shall wear a golden crown.

I shall wear a crown, I shall wear a crown,

When the trumpet sounds, when the trumpet sounds.

I shall wear a crown, I shall wear a crown,

I shall wear a golden crown.

Special Ending:

For just as soon as my feet strike Zion, gonna lay down my heavy burdens,

Gonna put on my robe in glory, gonna shout and tell the story,

Gonna come over hills and mountains, step up to the crystal fountain,

Where all of God's sons and daughters will be drinking from the healing waters,

Then we shall wear a golden crown.

WE

Tune: Tel-Star

Oh, we behold the wonder of our time:

A fragile planet hurled in space.

New worlds of wisdom.

Nations unfolding;

All the peoples of the earth

Join in the common march.

We have turned the universe within.

The vantage of the void our way.

New worlds converging.

Courage emerging:

Burst the barriers of time

With tools to build the earth.

We live our quest for peace and give our all:

That courage is the call to go.

Into the searching.

Into the finding;

Now we stand with all at hand

To give our gifts for all

We live the age when all of us engage

In life and death and care; and now

We are the Sunrise.

We are the Earthrise:

Sign of local man

Joined from land to land we rise

To live a life, to share the gifts of all

That people may stand tall. New Earth

In every village

Burns the new vision

That the world may know the way

The glory of the day,

Coda:

All the earth belongs to all of us.

And all of us belong.

WE ARE BUT ONE

(Fiki Tae Fua)

We are the people setting forth on a journey

Responding to the cry of suffering.

Gather all your strength and listen to the call,

For we are summoned by the ones who've gone before.

Hello, new age, we are but one.

We share the struggle with destiny

By the power of the nameless mystery.

With the dawning of the century approaching

Will we stand amidst the brokenness of life?

Dare we dance with all of life's absurdity,

For we are chosen by the new reality.

Local villages are linking together

In a strong and mighty league of humankind.

New approaches open doors to a new world

To a future full of possibility.

The response is up to all who hear the cry

Now we are looking for a place where we can stand

To embrace the power of hope to move the earth,

For we are driven by the winds of history.

WE ARE HERE

Tune: Waltzing Matilda

We are here in Fifth City Preschool

Out in Chicago West

To greet each brand new day

We dream our dreams

And we dance our YES.

WE CELEBRATE YOUR BEING

WE GATHER TOGETHER

We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing

He chastens and hastens His will to make known;

The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing,

Sing praises to His name: He forgets not His own.

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining.

Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;

So from the beginning the fight we were winning;

Thou, Lord, wast at our side, all glory be Thine!

We all do extol Thee, Thou leader triumphant,

And pray that Thou still our Defender will be.

Let Thy congregation escape tribulation:

Thy name be ever praised! O, Lord make us free!

WE LOVE AUSTRALIA

Tune "Never on Sunday”

We have come from Europe, from It'ly

From Hellas, from Portugal and Spain.

We remember Olives, the vineyards,

Sirrco and the Seine.

So say goodbye to bullfights, to pasta,

Siesta, to Gypsy caravans,

We can start the journey, the journey

The journey to our chosen land.

Refrain:

We love Australia,

We fill this land

We give ourselves

To be the Asian Man.

So now Bon Dia, Buenas Dias Ninos

We say goodbye to our chosen land.

So now Bon journo Calispara

We say good morning to our chosen land.

WE’VE GOT TO BUILDFIFTHCITY

Tune: Lonesome Valley

We've gotta go out and build FifthCity,

We've gotta build it by ourselves;

Ain't nobody here goin' to build it for us;

­We've gotta go out and build FifthCity by ourselves.

Oh, you can't blame it on the devil,

Oh, you can't blame City Hall;

You can't blame the way life is,

You gotta go out and build FifthCity by yourself.

Can't depend on Mr. Do‑Good,

Can't depend on city gold;

Oh, we can't depend on Mr. Charley;

We've gotta go out and build FifthCity by ourselves.

We're going to build it with our blackness,

Goin' to build it with our soul; .

Oh, we're going to build it with our power,

We've gotta go out and build FifthCity by ourselves.

We're goin' to build it in Chicago,

As a Sign to all mankind;

Of the power of the people,

Who decide to give their lives to change the world.

We're gonna go out and build FifthCity,

We're gonna build it by ourselves;

Ain't nobody here goin' to build it for us;

We're gonna go out and build FifthCity by ourselves.

WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN

We've only just begun, to live, white lace arid promises,

A kiss for luck and we're on our way.

Before the rising sun, we fly, so many roads to choose,

We start out walking and learn to run, and yes, we've just begun.

Sharing horizons that are new to us'

Watching the signs along the way

Talking it over just the two of us.

Working together day by day . . .

And when the evening comes, we smile, so much of life ahead.

We'll find a place where there's room to grow.

And yes, we've just begun.

We've only just begun.

WERE LO BAWA SE

Mandir masjid tere dhaam,

Sabhuko sanmati de Bhagawan. (Repeat verse)

Were lo bawa se e

Refrain: Were lo bawa se

Were lo bawa se e

Were lo bawa se

O un ti a ro pe ko sese

Were lo bawa se

O un ti aro pe ko sese

Were lo bawa se.

WERE YOU THERE

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?

Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?

Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?

Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?

Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,

Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?

Were you there when he rose up from the grave?

Were you there when he rose up from the grave?

Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,

Were you there when he rose up from the grave?

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

Louie Armstrong

I see trees of green

Red roses, too

I see them bloom

For me and you

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue

And clouds of white

The brightness of day

The dark sacred nite

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow

So pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces

Of people goin' by

I see friends shakin' hands

Saying, "How do you do"

They're really saying,

"I love you"

I hear babies cry

I watch them grow

They'll learn much more

Than I'll ever know

And 1 think to myself

What a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself

What a wonderful world.

WHEN HOPE FLIES

Tune: It Was Always Beautiful With You

When hope flies on the wings of your yearning,

And your fondest desires still linger on;

When hope flies on your dreams of the future

And the world that you wanted you're sure will come

Then hope dies and the vision of longings

Lies empty in the nothing that's there.

Yet hope comes on the wings of tomorrow,

And the wonder of hope is hoping still.

WHEN I'M ON MY JOURNEY

When I'm on my journey

There is no one there but me.

When I'm on my journey

There is no one there but me.

When I'm on my journey

There is no one there but me.

Lord, I know There is no one there but me.

. . . I am one with family.

. . . Spirit colleagues there will be.

. . . All mankind I will see.

. . . We will bend all history

. . . There is no one there but me.

WHEN IRON MEN GO MARCHING IN

Tune: When the Saints Go Marching In

When Iron Men go marching in.

When Iron Men go marching in,

There'll be a new day tomorrow,

When Iron Men go marching in.

When City Five has come alive

O when the trend begins to bend

O when the world picks up the sign

For Iron Men it's never done

For Iron Men it's just begun

WHEN YOU ARE AWARE

Tune: When You are in Love

When you are aware, the whole world is a mountain of care.

Skies constantly weep, over all of the tragedy there.

Then your life belongs to all suffering men everywhere,

When you are aware the whole world is a mountain of care.

Bearing the weight of the world, and the dread of its crushing demands,

Joyously burdened to know that there's no other world on your hands, and,

Your heart starts to soar, with the wonder that's filling the air,

When you are aware, the whole world is a mountain of care.

WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR

When you wish upon a star,

Makes no difference who you are,

Anything your heart desires

Will come to you.

If your heart is in your dream,

No request is too extreme,

When you wish upon a star

As dreamers do.

Fate is kind,

She brings to those who love

The sweet fulfillment of

Their secret longing.

Like a bolt out of the blue,

Fate steps in and sees you through,

When you wish upon a star

Your dream comes true

WHERE CROSS THE CROWDED WAYS OF LIFE

Where cross the crowded ways of life,

Where sound the cries of race and clan,

Above the noise of selfish strife,

We hear Thy voice, O Son of man!

In haunts of wretchedness and need,

On shadowed thresholds dark with fears,

From paths where hide the lures of greed,

We catch the vision of thy tears.

From tender childhood's helplessness,

From woman's grief, man's burdened toil,

From famished souls, from sorrow's stress

Thy heart has never known recoil.

The cup of water given for thee

Still holds the freshness of thy grace;

Yet long these multitudes to see

The sweet compassion of thy face.

O Master, from the mountainside,

Make haste to heal these hearts of pain;

Among these restless throngs abide,

O tread the city's streets again.

Till sons of men shall learn thy love

And follow where thy feet have trod;

Till, glorious from thy heaven above,

Shall come the city of our God!

WHERE THERE'S A WILL THERE'S A WAY

Where there's a will there's a way

Where there's a will there's a way

Where there's a will

There's a task before us all today

And the word of our team is yay, yay, yay

We're gonna work all day, all day, all day

For where there's a will there's a way

Where there's a will there's a way

Where there's a will there's a way

Where there's a will there's a way

left right, left right, left

Where there's a will there's a way, left right

The gleam in our eyes says we're gonna fight

We're gonna work all day and night and more

For we are the saints of the bright new hope

left right, left right, left right

Where there's a will there's a way

Where there's a will there's a way

Where there's a will

There's a task before us all today

And the word of our team is yay, yay, yay

We're gonna work all day, all day, all day.

For where there's a will there's a way

Left right, left right, left right, left right

WHISPERING HOPE

Soft as the voice of an angel

Breathing a lesson unheard

Hope with a gentle persuasion

Whispers her comforting word

Wait till the darkness is over

Wait till the tempest is done.

Hope for the sunshine tomorrow

After the shower is gone.

Whispering hope,

O how welcome thy voice

Making my heart

In its sorrow rejoice.

If in the dusk of the twilight

Dim be the region afar

Will not the deepening darkness

Brighten the glimmering star?

Then when the night is upon us

Why should the heart sink away?

When the dark midnight is over

Watch for the breaking of day.

Hope, as an anchor so steadfast

Rends the dark veil for the soul

Whither the Master has entered,

Robbing the grave of its goal;

Come then, O come, glad fruition,

Come to my sad, weary heart

Come, O Thou blest hope of glory

Never, O never depart.

WHISTLE A HAPPY TUNE

Whenever I feel afraid I hold my head erect

And whistle a happy tune so no one will suspect I'm afraid.

While shivering in my shoes I strike a careless pose

And whistle a happy tune, so no one ever knows I'm afraid.

The result of this deception is very strange to tell

For when I fool the people I fear. I fool myself as well.

I whistle a happy tune and every single time

The happiness in the tune convinces me that I'm not afraid.

Make believe you're brave and the trick will take you far,

You may be as brave as you make believe you are.

(Whistle)

You may be as brave, as you make believe you are.

WHO WILL DARE?

Tune: Who Will Buy?

Chorus:

Who will dare create the new future?

Who will dare respond to the need?

All the world looks 'round for a new sign

The cry for one to risk the deed.

I know that people are responding

Across the villages and towns

They're making claims and new decisions

That turn despair around.

I see men and women working,

Youth and children by their side.

A sense of hope IS now emergmg,

No way to stop the swelling tide.

I see communities deciding

The future does belong to them.

By corporate effort they are striving

To build the world again.

Final Chorus:

Who will dare create the new future?

Who will dare respond to the need?

All the world looks round for a new sign

So come along with me

Pick up this destiny

So come along and build the sign.

WHY IS THE WONDER SO TRUE

Tune: Rainbow Connection

New people bearing

Hopes built together,

These are the ways to share

Out of the someness

Into the oneness,

This is the deed to dare.

Why is the wonder so true?

Chorus:

Profoundly connected,

Our whole life expected,

The planet is beckoning you.

Living life fully,

Living in wholeness,

Create the story to

Reveal the glory

In the new century.

Over and over a new day begins,

Why is the wonder so true?

Chorus

Taking our learnings

Into a new age

Daring to take the lead.

Offering guidance

Into commitment,

Responding to earth's new needs.

Over and over a new day begins,

Why is the wonder so true?

Final chorus:

Profoundly connected,

Our whole life expected

The planet is beckoning to

All of us caring as one,

Our wholeness transforms the new.

WITH A SONG IN MY HEART

With a song in my heart, I behold your adorable face,

Just a song at the start, but it soon is a hymn to your grace,

When the music swells I'm touching your hand

It tells that you're standing near, and

At the sound of your voice heaven opens its portals to me.

Can I help but rejoice that a song such as ours came to be?

But I always knew I would live life through

With a song in my heart for you.

WITHOUT A SONG

Without a song ,

The day would never end,

Without a song

The road would never bend;

When things go wrong,­

A man ain't got a friend,

Without a song.

The field of corn would never see a plow;

That field of corn would be deserted now;

A man is born But he's no good no how

Without a song.

I got my trouble and woe,

But sure as I know the Jordan will roll,

I'll get along as long as a song is strong in my soul.

I'll never know what makes the rain fall.

I'll never know what makes the grass so tall.

I only know there ain't no love at all‑

­Without a song.

WOBURN LAWN

Tune: Jamaica Farewell

In Woburn Lawn the flowers grow.

And the mountains soar up to the skies.

Though the road is twisting, rough and steep.

Vision shines in the people's eyes.

Refrain:

For we know and say. we're on our way,

We have to work for many a day,

But our hearts are strong.

We know we can't go wrong.

We'll build a village where we're proud to stay.

We'll terrace the hillsides and pave the roads.

Build up our income and markets, too.

We'll teach our children all we know.

So they can see the vision through,

Now our people prosper as they see.

A fuller life for all to share.

And from Jamaica our hands go out

To all the world to show our care.

YEARS ARE CHANGING ON

Tune: East Wind

Years are changing on,

Old things coming new,

Searching something new,

Discovering world's truth,

But never. never, never is man satisfied.

YEH DOSTI

Yeh dosti

Hum nahin todengay

Todenga! dum magar

Tera saath na Chodengay

Oh Maliwada

All the world can hear your song

And the song of the village

Is the hope that is born.

Male - Uti - Nandapur - Shelgaon

Nava Gram Prayas

Shivni - Tembhurwahi - Khambale - Mangrul

Nava Gram Prayas.

Tan man dananay karm kuru

Tan man dananay karm kuru

Hum tum cha nirnay.

Yeh dosti

Hum nahin todengay

Todangay dum magar

Tera saath na chodengay.

Deso Pachas

Duniya dekh rabi hai aaj.

Ye has gaowonka geet.

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE

Refrain:

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are grey

You'll never know dear

How much I love you.

Please don't take my sunshine away.

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping

I dreamed I held you in my arms.

When I awoke dear I was mistaken,

So I hung my head and I cried.

I'll always love you and make you happy,

If you will only say the same.

But if you leave me to love another,

You'll regret it all someday.

You told me once dear you really loved me

And no one else could come between.

But now you've left me and love another,

You have shattered all my dreams.

YOU FILL THE DAY

Refrain:

You fill the day with your glory and your power,

You fill the night with your quiet and your deep love.

Run with your head up in the wind,

Run with your head up in the wind, the wind:

Your head held high, your soul an open door,

And breathe the wind that makes you free,

And breathe the wind that makes you free.

Stand with your face up in the sun,

Stand with your face up in the sun, the sun:

Your head held high, your soul an open door,

And feel the warmth that makes you free,

And feel the warmth that makes you free.

Lie with your face up in the rain,

Lie with your face up in the rain, the rain:

Your head held high, your soul an open door,

And drink the rain that makes you free,

And drink the rain that makes you free.

Walk hand in hand with one you love,

Walk hand in hand with one you love, you love:

Your head held high, your soul an open door,

And hold the hand that makes you free,

And hold the hand that makes you free.

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE

When you walk through a storm hold your head up high

And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of the storm is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain

Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone.

YOURS

Yours till the stars lose their glory.

Yours till the birds fail to sing,

Yours to the end of life's story, this pledge to you dear, I bring.

Yours in the grey of December, here or on far distant shores.

I've never loved anyone the way I love you.

How could I ‑ when I was born to be just yours?
