1 ‘Listen’ Adapted from a Song by Pete and Maura Kennedy Lyrics by Rt. Rev. Chris Giesler, and Tina Giesler Listen, to the silent spaces, in between the phrases can’t you hear the song? Listen, let the stillness ground you, God’s light is all around you, though the night is long. Our Lamb has conquered let us follow him. In all things love is what he taught us to do. Listen, in the sacred places can’t you hear the traces of an ancient song? Listen, as we trace the footsteps of the ones who gave us, this the Church we serve. Sing hallelujah, let us praise the Lord. Sing with a cheerful voice, exalt our God. Listen, to the Morning Star, Cheer the nations near and far, with God’s light divine. Listen, let your love be glowing, as on one stem growing, we are truly thine. Our Lamb has conquered let us follow him. In all things love is what he taught us to do. Listen, in the sacred places, Can’t you hear the traces of an ancient song? Listen to the silent spaces, in between the phrases, can’t you hear the song? Can’t you hear the song? Can’t you hear? Listen. The tune of this song is by the Kennedys. Lyrics for Verses 1,2, 3, 6, & 7 are original to the Kennedy’s song. Lyrics to the bridges, and verses 4 & 5 were added for Convo 2007 by Chris and Tina Giesler using familiar Moravian song lyrics and phrases. © Pete and Maura Kennedy, 2005.
