Lyrics:

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 andWe get closer every day…

Every day is a dusty desert rose
Thirsty for the evening dew
Every day is a heart still longing
For a Love that’s true

Refrain:

Bridge:
Tomorrow is a “lie”
We tell ourselvesBecause 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 candle flame
In the vastness of Eternity

Some reviews & testimonials

Been singing the chorus since the first day I heard it…

I sh*t you not when I say I’ve been singing the chorus to Honest Rock since the first day I heard it. I sing this every single day. Many times a day. Seriously. It’s like a mantra to me. It soothes me:-)

Hi Mark, I just had to tell you this. I emailed my 3 granddaughters the song you wrote who are sisters with the youngest being 11 years old, has cerebral palsy and is very smart, is able to talk, very funny, uses a computer, is able to write, now is learning to play drums, emails me ‘Thanks. I do.’ I loved the song and listened to it 3 times.

They love (your song) and ask to listen to it, ALWAYS.

My name is Cecile. I teach kindergarten at OMSD. I had the pleasure of using your song Together We Can Change The World to help my students make a difference in this wonderful world! They love it and ask to listen to it, ALWAYS.

Cecile Arvizo

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.

Jeremy

Never fails to move me…

Your incredible music never fails to move me. Thank you, Mark.
