Love’s Alive

Very limited time to write this week but I was feeling inspired in the afternoon I allotted myself today to write and record this song. For spring, for Easter, for love and life . . .

Pick up your questions and put down your weapons 
And don’t be afraid anymore
There’s something to see here if you care to be here
Don’t be afraid anymore

Oh . . . love’s alive

The birds are returning, the babies are learning
Don’t despair today
The cold ice is breaking the warm earth is waking
Don’t despair today

Oh . . love’s alive

Share with your neighbor, welcome the stranger
Believe you have enough
Give yourself mercy, be patient dear person
Believe you are enough

Oh . . . love’s alive

Ring All the Bells

Week 12 of #songaweek2016 already! I did a rough a cappella song this time, especially for Easter:

Ring all the bells that ever were, and are, and ever shall be

All that is fading, dying, falling, will land upon the light

Let the frozen thaw, let the dry seeds crack, let the ancient ones be born

All that is waiting, crying, calling, will make it through the night.

Everything that flies on broken wings

Everything that sorrowfully sings

Everything that hurts with hope and love

Everything that’s aching to become

Everything will breathe

everything will be

Speak every name that ever was and is and ever shall be

All that’s been hushed, ignored, forgotten, remembers the way home

Let the truth be told, let the tyrant rest, bring the wounded warrior peace

All that is crushed, war-torn, downtrodden, will rise from patient stone

Everything that flies on broken wings

Everything that sorrowfully sings

Everything that hurts with hope and love

Everything that’s aching to become

Everything will breathe

everything will be
