Description:
Here is a demo of the first section of Movement 6 of Hungry For Heaven. In this cut, Roxylee adds her wonderful harmonies to the chorus. If anyone else wants to join in, please send me an AIF or MP3 for each separate voice track.
The instrumental soundtrack is by our own talented David Gómez Sanz (magullo).
Lyrics:
The Gateway
6th Movement, Hungry For Heaven
[chorus]
Give thanks to God, our Creator.
Give thanks to Jesus, our Savior.
Give thanks to Spirit among us.
The living praise you in chorus.
[cantor – chorus]
O, Master Maker, Primal Force
Our destination and our source – we praise you
Prince of our empowerment
Guide for all good government – we praise you
You evolved this vast creation
Mix of sorrow and elation – we praise you
Men and women turning soil
days of happiness and toil – we praise you
Separate the dark from light
Show us breadth and depth and height – we praise you
Break the walls that block our seeing
beauty in each other's being – we praise you
interlude
Cure our blindness, give fresh sight
Help us move beyond what's trite – reveal
We seek entrance to a space
without a trace of commonplace – reveal
You have told us what to be –
stewards of democracy – that's right
With a clarity of purpose
we rise high above the surface – that's right
Moving through a narrow portal
Seeking signs of life immortal – dear God
Suddenly, we break the shoals
Frail vessels turn and roll – dear God
Thunderous, convoluted waves
Saints and sinners in fresh graves – my Lord
Freezing, melting, lifting rock
Whipping, wailing winds that talk – my Lord
Tangled woods and weary ways
Scaling pits of slippery clay – guide us
Searching for Omnipotence
Reason cannot clear the fence – guide us
From the well of prophecy
flows new form of energy – your Word
linking temporality
with the grand periphery – your Word
Christ is standing by the gate
Shepherd who will guide our fate – heal us
Nourished by transfigured wheat
Aided by The Paraclete – heal us
Breaking through an azure dome
fertile ponds and fields of loam – enter
Crimson blossoms, joyful Spirit
A silent stream: Can you hear it? – enter
Let Him in! He is near!
Knowing Him now crushes fear – amen
New life for each son and daughter
Baptized in God's living water – amen
[chorus]
Give thanks to God, our Creator.
Give thanks to Jesus, our Savior.
Give thanks to Spirit among us.
The living praise you in chorus.
