About This Song:
This song was inspired by a talk at Unity given by Roger Mock as well as Medieval mystic Meister Eckhardt’s statement that “God is at Home. We are in the far country”.
God Is Home
(And We Are In The Far Country)
Song #: 503 | 8/18/2015 | CD: tbd | Tuning: DADGAD
Every day is a relentless miracle
Every day is a push and pull
Every day is a beloved teacher
Who demands to be paid in full
Every day is a friendly robber
Every day is an open door
Every day is a glaring opportunity
Every day is the sweetest holy war
Refrain:
God is at Home and
We’ve been in the far,
Far country
God is Home and
We get closer every day…
Every day is a dusty desert rose
Thirsty for the evening dew
Every day is a heart still longing
For the Love that’s true
Refrain:
Bridge:
Tomorrow is a “lie”
We tell ourselves
Because it never arrives
Yesterday’s a dusty book
Upon the shelf
Today is where we live our lives
Refrain:
Every day is a whirling dervish
spinning into ecstasy
Every day is a sacred
Candle flame
In the vastness of Eternity
