Holy, holy, holy, Lord God the Almighty

Revelation 4:8 And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and inside. Day and night without ceasing they sing, "Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God the Almighty, who was and is and is to come."

Down a way that is lonely

Come walk with me down a way that is lonely.
Each step we take is a pathway of peace.
I will show you all the beauty around us.
You can rest with me awhile.

Open your heart to embrace all the journey.
Each breath we take is a portal of peace.
Close your eyes, see the starlight and sunshine.
Stretch your palms and feel the rain.

Trice Holy

Holy God, Holy and mighty, Holy and deathless, have mercy on us.

Pour out your hearts in prayer and contemplation.
Sing for the One who dies to set us free.
He is the prince of every consolation.
He rends from the sky the holy heart of God.

Holy God, Holy and mighty, Holy and deathless, have mercy on us.

Into the grave he seeks the lost and lonely,
Speaking the word that shakes the prison bars.
Death cannot hold the power of life within him.
He wrests from the earth all those who once were dead.

Holy God, Holy and mighty, Holy and deathless, have mercy on us.

He comes again alight in ardent splendor.
Crushed is the grave beneath his gentle gaze.
Wait by the cross and see this holy wonder.
Enraptured in him is every pain erased.

Holy God, Holy and mighty, Holy and deathless, have mercy on us.

Rest in Me

Come to me, all of you, who are weak and heavy laden,
and you will find rest for your soul. O come to me.

Learn from me, all of you, for I am meek and tenderhearted,
and you will find my yoke is easy and burden light.

Bring to me, all of you, do not withhold from your beloved,
then you will find your rest in me, O bring to me.

Rest in me, rest in me, all of you will rest in me.
O set aside your heavy burden and rest in me.

This temple is not made of stone

This temple is not made of stone, but is living.
This temple is not made by hand, but is holy.
And my flesh will sing of God's glory.
Now my flesh will rest in God's goodness.

The Lord is in his holy temple

The Lord is in his holy temple.
Hush! All the earth keep silence before him.
Habakkuk 2:20

Wait for the Day

Listen at http://soundcloud.com/james-hilden-minton/wait-for-the-day

Eat this bread and drink from this cup
Till the day of the Lord is come,
When we cast our crowns 'round God's holy throne,
And we shout with the Risen One.

O my brother, O my sister, wait for the day to come.

Take this time to pray and keep watch,
While our master and savoir pleads,
"Father, not my will but yours be done.
From your cup I will surely drink."

O my brother, O my sister, wait for the day to come.

Will you wait by his cross with me?
Will you follow wherever it leads?
Though the way may call where our shadows fall,
Still a greater glory will be.

O my brother, O my sister, wait for the day to come.

We will work this day in the earth
Till the night bids all labor cease,
Then we'll gather into the banquet hall.
We will sup with the Prince of Peace.

O my brother, O my sister, wait for the day to come.

Eat this bread and drink from this cup
Till the day of the Lord is come,
When we cast our crowns 'round God's holy throne,
And we shout with the Risen One.

O my brother, O my sister, wait for the day to come.

Cool Water (I am a little thing too)

A little thing I discovered on my recorder having forgotten about it. Recorded in the moment of inspiration.

Cool water, flowing water
circling round the earth
Billions of little things live in you
and I am a little thing too

Holy Thirst

O holy thirst, o holy thirst
Quench not the hunger of my soul.

Foxes have holes and birds have nests,
But the son of man has no place to lay his head

O holy thirst, o holy thirst
Quench not the hunger of my soul

Out of your innermost being will flow
rivers of living water

O holy thirst, o holy thirst
Quench not the hunger of my soul


Holy Thirst by James Hilden-Minton
