In the middle...

not clear but not too vague. visible but not distinct. shining through -- bares something, not everything. an irony in imperfection...

make us one

August 19, 2006

this was the song sang by his grace at divine service this morning.
quite a sad melody, but it's really moving (hardly understood the lyrics though).
i recorded the song but i think deza wouldn't be happy if i post it here. >.<
hope to hear them again-ate michelle, mei and deza..
sana kasama na rin si ate mahal.. ^_^

Make Us One
by Sally DeFord

How shall we stand amid uncertainty? Where is our comfort in travail?
How shall we walk amid infirmity, when feeble limbs are worn and frail?
And as we pass through mortal sorrow, how shall our hearts abide the day?
Where is the strength the soul may borrow? Teach us thy way.

Make us one, that our burdens may be light
Make us one as we seek eternal life
Unite our hands to serve thy children well
Unite us in obedience to thy will.
Make us one! teach us, Lord, to be of one faith, of one heart
One in thee.

Then shall our souls be filled with charity, then shall all hate and anger cease
And though we strive amid adversity, yet shall we find thy perfect peace
So shall we stand despite our weakness, so shall our strength be strength enough
We bring our hearts to thee in meekness; Lord, wilt thou bind them in thy love?

Take from me this heart of stone, and make it flesh even as thine own
Take from me unfeeling pride; teach me compassion; cast my fear aside.
Give us one heart, give us one mind
Lord, make us thine
Oh, make us thine!
