Sacred Space 1: {Physical Space}








A psalm of Brian of Maryland- Animals

for the baritone guitar

My secret wish... in this sacred place

Is to relinquish needs

The great constant is perpetual change

So when we leave, as we know we will

Some of us remains, consecrated and unchanged


Circles in stars they bind us now -- we're pretty animals

Colors around are bled of love -- we're hopeful animals

Kiss me now so we can feel alive -- we're conscious animals

Circles in stars they bind us now -- we're sacred animals


From blood we came... to ash we return again

These carbon hearts, and terrestrial hopes

From our first goodbye... to the last hello

Pray we carve our paths... from God's sacrosanct


The love we crave

that binds

bends

but never change

feeds faith in faith

that I search for in everything


Stars they bind us now

Around are bled of love - we're conscious animals

Kiss me now so we can feel alive -- we're conscious animals

Circles in stars they bind us now -- we're sacred animals

Circles in stars they bind us now -- we're pretty animals

Colors around are bled of love -- we're hopeful animals

A psalm of David of Israel - #8

According to gittith

O LORD, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory

above the heavens.


From the lips of children and infants

you have ordained praise

because of your enemies,

to silence the foe and the avenger.


When I consider your heavens,

the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which you have set in place,


what is man that you are mindful of him,

the son of man that you care for him?


You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings

and crowned him with glory and honor.


You made him ruler over the works of your hands;

you put everything under his feet:


all flocks and herds,

and the beasts of the field,


the birds of the air,

and the fish of the sea,

all that swim the paths of the seas.


O LORD, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the earth!
