Come darkness, come light Come new star shining bright Come love to this world tonight Allelujah Come broken, come whole Come wounded in your soul Come any way that you know Allelujah Come doubting, come sure Come fearful to this door Come see what love is for Allelujah Come running, come walking slow Come weary on your broken road Come see him, shed your heavy load Allelujah Come darkness, come light….. - Mary Chapin Carpenter I LOST (my way) I lost a sock I lost a sock I lost an umbrella I lost a sock I lost a tooth I lost my teeth 6 I lost a leg I lost my dog I lost an earring I lost my father I lost my voice I lost my ticket I lost the keys I lost the map I lost my wits I lost my way I lost my tongue I lost my heart I lost faith I lost weight I lost my hair I lost my hand I lost my eye I lost my house I lost my tongue I lost my name I lost my book I lost my glasses I lost my ring I lost the store I lost the farm I lost a sock I lost the eggs (O come thou Dayspring, come and cheer our spirits by your advent here; Love stir within the womb of night, And death’s dark shadows put to flight….) I lost my cow I lost my memory I lost my teeth I lost my color I lost my hair I lost my sight I lost my way I lost my balance I lost my mother I lost my shoe I lost the business I lost my carpet 7 I lost my language I lost my god I lost my pants I lost my tan - Deborah Artman Slave Song I see them gathered, see them on the shore I turned to look once more And he who knows me not Takes me to the belly of darkness Tears will run swift And tears will come that fall like rain I pray that it’s swift though Tears will fall as cold as pain I pray to the almighty Let me not to him do As he has unto me Teach my beloved children Who have been enslaved To reach for the light continually So many times I prayed So many times I’ve prayed for you Prayed for you Wisdom is the flame Wisdom is the brave warrior (O Sapientia, veni, ad docendum nos viam prudentiae.) Who will carry us into the sun I pray that it’s swift though Tears will come that fall like rain (Tears will come and fall like rain…) - Sade Adu Rorate Caeli Rorate caeli desuper Pour out dew from above, you heavens, Et nubespluant justum. And let the clouds rain down the Just One. Aperiatur terra et terra Salvatorem. Let the earth open and bring forth a Savior 8 DARKNESS, DARKNESS (emptiness with light) Light and life…. Light and life to all he brings…. (risen with healing in his wings) Darkness, Darkness, be my pillow, Take my head and let me sleep In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence of your deep … People keep on learnin’ Soldiers keep on warrin’ World keep on turnin’ Cause it won’t be too long Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning, For the things I cannot see Keep my mind from constant turning, To the things I cannot be… Powers keep on lyin’ While your people keep on dyin’ World keep on turnin’ Cause it won’t be too long Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome, Is the day that brings me here I have felt the edge of sadness, I have known the depths of fear (God rest you merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay… healing grace from Love itself is born upon this day… to save us in our darkest hours as we have gone astray… tidings of comfort and joy.) Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, cover me with this endless night Take away the pain of knowing, fill the emptiness with light - Jesse Colin Young - O come, Desire of nations, bind all peoples in one heart and mind…. Higher Ground People keep on learnin’ Soldiers keep on warrin’ 9 World keep on turnin’ Cause it won’t be too long Powers keep on lyin’ While your people keep on dyin’ World keep on turnin’ Cause it won’t be too long I’m so darn glad he let me try it again Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin I’m so glad that I know more than I knew then Gonna keep on tryin’ Till I reach the highest ground (Hosanna …hosanna in the highest Gloria in excelsis deo!) Teachers keep on teachin’ Preachers keep on preachin’ Hosanna… World keep on turnin’ Cause it won’t be too long Oh no Lovers keep on lovin’ Believers keep on believin’ Gloria… Sleepers just stop sleepin’ Cause it won’t be too long Oh no I’m so glad that he let me try it again Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin I’m so glad that I know more than I knew then Gonna keep on tryin’ Till I reach my highest ground... Till I reach my highest ground No one’s gonna bring me down Oh no - Stevie Wonder Is a light shinin’ in the heavens? Is a light shinin’ in the heavens? Is a light shinin’ in the heavens? 10 Is a light shinin’ in the heavens? Please shine for me. I come this night I come to fight I bring no weapon I bring the light On my knees The light pass by Thought my soul was gonna rise To rise and fly Is a light shinin’… God made the stars to show their light And the moon to glow by night God made the sun to shine by day From heaven’s gate it shows the way Oh my good Lord, is a light shinin’ in the heavens? - African American Folk Song It came a flowret bright.
