*Pilgrim’s Theme- lyrics*
July 25, 2006Pilgrim’s Theme
Tired of weaving dreams too loose for me to wear
Tired of watching clouds repeat their dance on air
Tired of getting tired of doing what’s required
Is life a mere routine in the greater scheme of things
Through with taking roads someone else designed
Through with chasing stars that soon forget to shine
Through with going through one more day - what’s new
Does my life still mean a thing in the greater scheme of things
REFRAIN 1:
I think I’ll follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings
I hope to find my place
So my life can fall in place
I know in time I’ll find my place
In the greater scheme of things
Each must go his way, but how can I decide
Which path I should take, who will be my guide
I need some kind of star to lead me somewhere far
To find a higher dream in the greater scheme of things
The road before me bends, I don’t know what I’ll find
Will I meet a friend or ghosts I left behind
Should I even be surprised that You’re with me in disguise
For it’s Your hand I have seen in the greater scheme of things (REFRAIN 1)
BRIDGE:
For Yours is the voice in my deepest dreams
You are the heart, the very heart
Of the greater scheme of things (REFRAIN 1)
REFRAIN 2:
Why don’t we follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings
One day we’ll find our place
For all things fall in place
For all things have a place
In the greater scheme of things
*Your Heart Today- lyrics*
Your Heart Today
Where there is fear I can allay
Where there is pain I can heal
Where there are wounds I can bind
And hunger I can fill
REFRAIN:
Lord, grant me courage
Lord, grant me strength
Grant me compassion
That I may be Your heart today
Where there is hate I can confront
Where there are yokes I can release
Where there are captives I can free
And anger I can appease (REFRAIN)
BRIDGE:
When comes the day I dread
To see our broken world
Compel me from my cell grown cold
That Your people I may behold
Where there is fear I can allay
Where there is pain I can heal
Where there are wounds I can bind
And hunger I can fill (REFRAIN)
CODA:
And when I’ve done all that I could
Yet there are hearts I cannot move
Lord, give me hope
That I may be Your heart today
*I Seek You for I Thirst-lyrics*
I Seek You for I Thirst
REFRAIN:
Though many times I run from You in shame
I lift my hands and call upon Your name
For underneath the shadow of Your wings
My melody is You
O Lord, I seek You for I thirst
Your mercy is the rain on the desert of my soul
O Lord, I raise my lifeless eyes and see Your glory shine
How Your kindess overflows (REFRAIN)
O Lord, Your sanctuary calls
I yearn to be with You in the rivers of Your love (REFRAIN)
*How Lovely Is Your Dwelling Place- lyrics*
How Lovely Is Your Dwelling Place
REFRAIN:
How lovely is Your dwelling place
O, Lord, mighty God, Lord of all.
Even the lowly sparrow finds a home for her brood,
and the swallow, a nest for herself
where she may lay her young
in Your altars, my King and my God. (REFRAIN)
Blessed are they whose dwelling is Your own, Lord of peace.
Blest are they refreshed by springs and by rain
when dryness daunts and scathes.
Behold my Shield, my King and my God. (REFRAIN)
I would forsake a thousand other days anywhere
if I could spend one day in Your courts,
belong to You alone.
My strength are You alone,
my Glory, my King and my God. (REFRAIN)
CODA:
How lovely, Your dwelling place
O, Lord, mighty God, Lord of all.
[The lowliest of creatures has a place in God’s home, and yet what space is left for God? The foxes have lairs and the birds have nests, yet the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head, save in the hearts of those who love and believe.]
