31. Voices Rising

Words & Music by Lisa Doscher

 

​All our voices are rising up... oh, my soul

Voices sing, voices ring

Sounding out, echoing!

Quiet voices are rising up

Wild voices are rising up

Sacred voices are rising up

Awakened voices are rising up

Inspired voices are rising up

United voices are rising up

Hear our voices rising up!

 

49. More Waters Rising

Words & Music by Saro Lynch-Thomason

 

1. ​There are more waters rising, this I know, this I know.

There are more waters rising, this I know.

There are more waters rising, they will find their way to me;

there are more waters rising, this I know, this I know,

there are more waters rising, this I know. 2. ...fires burning...

3. ...mountains falling...

4. I will wade through the waters... when they find their way to me;

5. I will walk through the fires...

6. I will re-build the mountains...

​7. I will wade through the water...

 

32. Seed Song

Words & Music by Barbara McAfee

 

Oh the darkness has swallowed me whole,

and I cannot remember the light.

Oh, I feel I am losing my soul to the night, to the night.

 

You are a seed.

This is the waiting time.

You hold a dream of green that will call you to the sky.

 

9. Right Place, Right Time

Words & Music by Samara Jade

 

1. I believe that I’m in the right place at the right time

This wave is crashing down and it’s the one for me to ride

 

2. Crazy world, crazy times

Gonna let go of what oughtta be

And hang on for the ride

3. Ebb and flow

Rising, falling

 

140. The Feast

Words & Music by Heidi Wilson

 

Holy Fire in the sun

Water in the river, and Wind within my lungs

Oh holy Earth beneath my feet

All of us are offerings and also at the feast

 

163. Radiate

Words & Music by Lisa Piccirillo

 

When I see me,

I am standing in my light.

I will be me

when I’m standing in my light.

 

And if it’s blinding,

I’ll keep climbing

​oh so high

and just keep going

toward my knowing

till I find:

I radiate.
