OPEN UP YOUR BARREN HEART

 

Open up your barren heart

Light a candle in the dark

And the shepherd of the light

Will stand for the righteous fight

The shining prince of peace

Shining like the Golden Fleece

Oh lamb of God, oh perfect light

Will banish evil from the night

YOU MAKE MY LIFE WHOLE

 

You make my life whole     

You fill it with your zest

With your loving presence

Dear lord I am truly blessed 

YOU MAY NOT ALWAYS ANSWER

 

You may not always answer

When I offer up my prayer

But the most important thing is

I always know you’re there

MY SOUL WAS FORGED IN HEAVEN

 

My soul was forged in heaven

And my heart was filled with love

My faith is as strong as iron

I am akin to the angels above

Until my soul returns to heaven

And I bask in eternal love

JAMES THE GREATER

 

The legend of James

Apostle of the lord

And Christ’s appointed

Son of Thunder

Has it that

Upon his Martyrs death

In Jerusalem

St James body

Was taken by angels

And placed in a boat

Which sailed, unmanned

And rudderless

To the Spanish coast

Where it was enveloped

By a massive rock

God’s eternal light

Illuminates the starkness

Dispelling evil

In the invading darkness

BE AT PEACE WITH LIFE

 

Be at peace with life

Live in the light

For although they

Are out of sight

We are in safe hands

Both day and night

As they walk among us

The Angels of the light
