The world needs positive music to help offset the negativity and false values which infect our lives. How can we write about sin and cultural death in an engaging and affirming way? I have tried to do this in my own lyrics. Here are samples of my lyrics from the album Can't Let Go: schlettysound.com/cant-let-go

Leaving Flesh

Leaving flesh ungates the soul,
like a bird that soars with grace,
like a worm that leaves the hole,
taken to an extraordinary place.

Give your all until the dawn.
Take what little stuff you need.
Smile until the shades are drawn... 

 

Responsorial Psalm 94(95):1-2,6-9 for the 18th Sunday in Rdinary Time, Year C - WORDS & CHORDS

  

              Eb         Ab                       Bb               Eb          Ab      Bb         Ebsus4 Eb

Response: O that today you would listen to his voice! ‘Harden not your hearts.’

 

  Eb             Bb           Ab            Eb

Come, ring out our joy to the Lord;

Cm         Eb           Ab       Bb

hail the rock who saves us.

Ab                      Eb              Bb       Cm

Let us come before him, giving thanks,

         Ab                  Eb         Bb

with songs let us hail the Lord.
 

                 Eb         Ab                       Bb               Eb          Ab      Bb         Ebsus4 Eb

Response: O that today you would listen to his voice! ‘Harden not your hearts.’

St. Paul in his letter to the Colossians urges us to set our minds on things above. That we should become heavenly-minded.  We were created to be - to live in ecstasy with our Triune God and all the angels and saints forever -sharing in a human way in divine life in a heavenly atmosphere. Pope Benedict in his trilogy on Jesus of Nazareth calls this reality the definitive "evolutionary" step in human existence that is hard for us to grasp. In his Letters, St Paul's vivid description of this difficulty says  - what eye has not seen, nor ear has not heard nor the human heart conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him. Throughout scripture The Good Lord does give is glimpses of the Heavenly reality for us to reflect on and yearn for.

God of day and God of darkness,
Now we stand before the night.
As the shadows stretch and deepen,
Come and make our darkness bright.
All creation still is groaning
For the dawning of your might.
When the Son of peace and justice                  
Fills the earth with His radiant light.

Come Lord Jesus  for you we  yearn
To set us free and live fully
Our love and hearts brightly burn
