I Give Myself the Grace

I give myself the grace I would give to a friend
I give myself that same grace
And the love of God flows over and through me
Through me and into the world
I give myself the grace I would give to a child
I give myself that same grace
And the love of God flows over and through me
Through me and into the world
I give my neighbor the grace I give to myself
I give my neighbor that same grace
And the love of God flows over and through us
Through us and into the world.
I see the world through the eyes of the humble Christ
I see the world through his eyes of grace
And the love of God flows over and through us
Through us and into the world

Come What May

Set it free, let it be, come what may
Set it free, let it be, come what may
Set it free, let it be, come what may.
Come what may, come what may, come what may
Open heart, open mind, open spirit
Open heart, open mind, open soul
Open heart, open mind, open spirit.
Come what may, come what may, come what may
Heed the call within; Holy Spirit
Heed the living, breathing Word
Head the call of the great Creator.
Come what may, come what may, come what may

Sister's Son
02:56

The woman came across the sea to help her sister's son
The young man found the girl he loves and wants to bring her home
Her father is against it, he might just take a stand,
And so she comes to parley: the young man's oldest aunt
Will they be strong enough, will they be wise enough
Will they have discipline, will they be kind enough
To take my daughter home
To take my daughter home?
I’m honored that you’ve come so far to meet our family
I love my daughter very much, she is so dear to me
How can I trust that she’ll be safe if I just let her go
Off to a land, a country and a people I don’t know?
Will you be strong enough, will you be wise enough
Will you have discipline, will you be kind enough
To take my daughter home?
To take my daughter home?
He looks across the table at the woman sitting there
She’s matched him drink for drink but her eyes are sharp and clear
This visit she’s been gracious, curious and free
If this is how the family is, his heart can rest at ease
Yes, they’ll be strong enough….
It’s been twenty years and more since my mother was gone
My cousin and his wife have two grown daughters of their own
But sometimes we remember my mother on that night
When she drank her way to a father’s trust and put his fears to flight
She was strong enough, she was wise enough
She had discipline, she was kind enough
To bring that daughter home
To bring that daughter home
