Deep within the starswept perimeter
dwells the highest transcendence.
Architect and lover of the world
who knows all greatness and smallness.
Force that seeds and waters soil.
Force that watches creation toil.
Eternal eyes, infinite light, ever shining bright.

Transcendence sends a magic burst
to a waiting womb.
Luminescence so pure as to...

The Joy of Grace
5th Movement, Hungry for Heaven

Hurling down an asphalt slipstream
You take to the road in your dream machine
You don't obey the signs, you don't look both ways
You are a traveler out of phase

In the cradle of a grand creation
under the arch of a wondrous vault...

The Martyrs of Compiègne were sixteen French Catholic women who refused to give up the faith despite being imprisoned by the anti-Christian government in 1794 France. Sentenced to death by the revolutionary tribunal during the Reign of Terror, they sang hymns on their way to the guillotine. The remaining women continued to sing as they were executed one by one, until the last sang by herself before dying. Their feast day is July 17, the date they were martyred.

Instrumentation: SSAA chorus, harpsichord, bass
Duration: 1’30”

1 In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This cornerstone, this solid Ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my all in all,
Here in the love of Christ I stand

2 Come bring us home  O Jesus come
More glorious than of  all the suns
You give us grace help us to cope

Up from ignorance to bliss,

I am the truth
I am the life
They who come to me
even if they die...

Pour It Out

2nd Movement, Hungry for Heaven, hungryforheaven.com

Pour heaven on me. Pour heaven on me.
Keep me safe from evil.
Put fire in my bones.
Help me play the part
Make me burn with passion.
as you make me whole.

Pour it out! Pour it out!
You're the man with answers.
Listen to my questions.
You're the one who cares.

Wanna feel your presence,
know your essence...

Realization

10th Movement, Hungry for Heaven

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,
