Love is the only prayer (1997)
Love is the only prayer
(a line from English mystical poet Kathleen Raine)
I see Thee everywhere
Love is indestructable
As holy flame forever burneth
From heaven it came
And to heaven it returneth
(these 4 lines from English poet W. Southey)
O Lord, take these words
And plant them deep in my heart to flower
May hope be all that I carry with me
And may love be the only prayer
Hymn of the universe (1997)
In the beginning there was love
And there was truth and power
In the beginning there was the word
And there was one heart of fire
Adoro te
Cum sancto spiritus
Domine
(I adore Thee, with sacred spirit, Lord)
Your love is sweet as a swallow
My heart is an ocean's tear
My song is of hope and sorrow
That you be so far and so near
Cantare est amare
Mysterium fidei
Altissimi donum dei
In te domine Spera vi
(To sing is to love
In your great mystery
You take me higher
I put my all my hope in Thee)
And now it is done
Your sacred spirit turning
There are ten thousand ways to love you
This intensity is burning
Prayer for the world (1997)
I dreamed I saw her
An angel flying high
Above the lonely world
And she was crying
Her tears of sorrow fell into the sea
And she sang
This is my prayer for the world
Kyrie Eleison
A prayer of love for mother earth
Kyrie, Kyrie
And I pray her wounds shall heal
And hope is all I have
She became the ocean
And all at once I felt
The ocean in my heart
And then a mountain
And in that moment
I identified with her soul
I saw such skies
Inside her eyes
And... O
Every star that fell to shore
Became a lantern of love
On the ocean of all
You've dreamed of
She untied the darkness
I saw the universe
Inside an unseen hand
I gave her flowers
And every fragrant bloom
Became a simple truth
And she sang
This is my prayer for the world...
Love call (1997)
(Also on HIGH PLANES MUSIC)
Sometimes I awake to find you calling
Across the vast and ancient sky
Sometimes I feel that I am falling
Into your tender loving light
O my darling, open my heart
And let me begin to know who you are
To feel you within
My soul in your arms
Your arms
Sometimes I see you when I'm sleeping
Across angelic fields of dreams
I hear the music of your breathing
I long to feel you close to me
O my darling, I know you are near
I will wait for you here
At the end of my climb
In this space outside time
I am yours, you are mine
I am Thine
Sometimes I feel your heart is singing
An unknown song I seem to know
Across the sea you're softly singing
I feel you calling me back home
O my darling
Your love is of gold
All my senses unfold
And my soul fills with dreams
Let me die in your dream
I will answer your call
Please call
Love's Philosophy (1997)
*The title is from a poem by Shelley
Cara mia
Ti adoro
Amore mio
Ti desidero
Tua amore e la causa piu precioza per me
Mio cuore e piene con amore per te
Tiene mi
Cara mia tiene mi
Molare mi non mai
Tiena mi nella tua carezza
Sempre
(Dear love,
I adore you...
I desire you;
Your love is the most precious thing for me....
My heart is full of love for you;
Hold me, dear one;
Touch me...
Hold me close to your heart always)
Buso
Buso e sei li
Ti chiamo
E canti per me
Ti desidero
E ti tiene mi nella tua carezza
O mio cuore
Non e piu mio
E ora e tuo
Nessun causa
E vera
Ecceto te
(I call and you are there;
I sing and you sing for me;
I desire you and you hold me in your embrace;
O my heart, you are no longer mine...
Nothing exists except you)
My spirit turns towards you
Though I be in the storm
I can hear your song of sorrow
In violet colours warm
In the colour of the flowers
I see the colour of your face
And in the light I see your beauty
And your eternal grace
Dominus vobiscum
Mysteria pirei
Deo gratias
Deo gratias
Tibi omnes angeli
Gloria, gloria
Tibi domine
Deo gratias
Kyrie eleison
Miserere mei
Kyrie eleison
Miserere nostri
Kyrie, Kyrie
Sanctus domine
My heart is no more mine
It now belongs to Thee
The dark clouds bring romance between
Thee, my love, and me
O fill me up with love
That my tear drops shall be stars
And let me play Thy gentle rhapsody
And sway inside Thy dance
Blessed are the innocents
Who trust and believe
Blessed are the angels
Who softly sing and weave
All the wonders of the world
Mysterious and true
I bless the seen and unseen universe
I bless the day I found you
O alchemist eternal
All is not what it seems
My dreams are all your poems
My poems are your dreams
Every whisper of the wind
Is like a song that you have sung
And every truth that I have fallen through
Is like the rising sun
