Description:
Here is a preliminary mix of the 10th and final movement of the concept album "Hungry For Heaven." We hope you will view this piece in its relationship to the entire opus.
This project is a collaboration with David Gómez Sanz (magullo) of Segovia, Spain. Now we just have to go back and finish Movement 6 and the last half of Movement 9, then master everything for CD and MP3 delivery....then our long project is complete! David sent me the first Movement in January of 2007. So you see how long it has been. The whole story is at hungryforheaven.com

Realization
10th Movement, Hungry for Heaven
Music (c) 2007 David Gómez Sanz (Segovia, Spain)
Lyrics (c) 2008 Richard C. Schletty (St. Paul, MN, U.S.A.)
Where or who or why are you?
When will I take leave of my senselessness?
How will I make my road straight?
How will I fly to you without falling?
Must I climb the greatest mountain
to glimpse your shining radiance?
Must I swim the bluest ocean
to fathom your magnificence?
Hear me as I vibrate.
Know me as I pulse.
Perceive the odor of my being,
the inflammation in my soul.
Must I reach deep inside myself
to embrace your unapproachable intimacy?
Find you in inspired pages or hard sermons?
Or simply walk with you in the olive grove?
Suddenly, bathed by a spectrum
streaming through rosette window.
Blessed by a Mother who bears no lance
save the one that pierced her Son.
Touched again by a foreigner's sacrifice.
Made complete by new blood,
nourished by new bread
Made joyous by new song.
Your love is in those I touch:
In my neighbor, in my enemy,
in those on the fringe, in those on the edge,
in those wrapped in self, in those unraveling.
You are in the infant caressed,
in the student being understood,
in the stranger receiving my last coin.
You are the Master asking for my all.
Providers needing grain, replenished.
Mourners seeking consolation, comforted.
Children gone astray, led back.
Those who were silenced, again singing.
Now wind inflates my breast,
water begins cleansing.
I am floating, warm, calm,
on a current of unconditional love.
Where there was protest is now thanks
for the opening of my eyes
to the life and love around me.
I thank you for the treasure that is already mine.
It was never mine to question.
It was never yours to answer.
We are enmeshed in a symphony of waves,
all past, present and future encircling.
There is no Father who yearns like you.
No Son who teaches so well.
No Spirit that excites so wildly.
No Transcendence so involved with lesser mites.
I have heeded your generous invitation
to the mystery of creation.
I am no longer hungry for heaven.
You have poured heaven on me.

Rich and David, I love the ending. Yes, the Father yearns to have a close relationship with Him; He yearns to walk with us each day.
Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him.
