About This Song: (Lyrics below)
ANOTHER brand new song, #530 “Holy Ground” That’s 6 new songs in the last 3 or 4 weeks.

(I’m on “fire” ;o)

This one is another TranceFormation Tune. It is a chant that just brings us back over and over again to the metaphor of “holy ground.” The story of Moses and the burning bush is not necessarily “religious” but it is deeply, deeply archetypal.

It triggers a whole set of ancient themes that cause us to reflect on our own doubts and weaknesses, (Moses was shy and didn’t want to be a leader), as well as the myriad of miraculous things we witness and mostly ignore every single day just going about our business.

The message for all of us is. “Hey! You and I are standing on holy ground. What if we acknowledged that all day? What if we paid attention to that still small voice?”

Holy Ground

Moses, Oh Moses
Have you noticed
You are standing on Holy Ground
Moses, Moses
Have you noticed
You are standing on Holy Ground

Refrain:
Oh Holy Ground
Oh Holy Ground

Moses, Moses
Look around
Have you notice You’re standing on Holy Ground
Moses, Moses
Have you looked around
Have you noticed you’re standing on Holy Ground

Refrain:

Moses, Moses
Can you hear the sound?
You are standing on Holy Ground
Moses, Moses
Can you hear the sound?
You are standing on Holy Ground

You are standing on Holy Ground
Moses, Moses
Lost or found
You are standing on Holy Ground

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.

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:-)

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.
