Listen to the voice, listen to the voice Listen to the voice of Jesus Walking in the way, walking in the way Walking in the way of Jesus Listen to the voice, listen to the voice Listen to the voice of Jesus Walking in the way, walking in the way Walking in the way of Jesus Love crosses every divide With heart to see through other eyes Bridges the distance wrought by fear Forges ways to draw us near We will never walk alone When we can see the wonders that we are Held in the current of time and place Breath in dust, alive in faces We will never walk alone When we can see the wonders that we are Each one a gift, each color, each feature The Spirit plays in all God's creatures Love crosses the divide like Where differences arrive in our lives That's where our lives shine To be the bridge from the poorest to the wealthy And holding hands with the sickest and the healthy.. Walk a mile in my neighbor's shoes, size 12 To show the love of Christ… yea is why I help We love cause he first loved us, right? Never walking alone, carry us across the divides Love beckons us to turn from hate Love welcomes strangers at our gates Love labors long, love cultivates A boundless communion in God's wide embrace We will never walk alone When we can see the wonders that we are Held in the current of time and place Breath in dust, alive in faces We will never walk alone When we can see the wonders that we are Each one a gift, each color, each feature The Spirit plays in all God's creatures Pain has a funny way of exposing truth At the edge of the valley, you might even find it's root Strange fruit, fed by media, propaganda Prejudice rampant, flames of gossip and slander But what is love for those already loving, you, and me too Called to befriend those unlike who May be estranged, but all wrapped in his love like a blanket That covers a multitude seated at the grand banquet (Now listen) Listen to the voice, listen to the voice Listen to the voice of Jesus Walking in the way, walking in the way Walking in the way of Jesus Listen to the voice, listen to the voice Listen to the voice of Jesus Walking in the way, walking in the way Walking in the way of Jesus O God your love is deep and wide You carry us across divides O God your love is deep and wide You carry us across divides You carry us across divides You carry us across divides

O God we are crying out Marked by the violence of Cain Our hands are blood stained Forgive us O God your children are suffering You hear the groaning You know the sorrows Have mercy We are sowing in tears May they be, Lord, seeds of your peace Take our hearts of stone Give us hearts of flesh Lead us to the end of Us versus them Spread wide your table Lord Gather us in Tear down the barrier walls Between us and them There is a light Shining in our darkness There is a spring Whose waters never fail There is voice Crying out in the wilderness There is a way of peace Through the valley Through the shadow of death Take our hearts of stone Give us hearts of flesh Lead us to the end of Us versus them Spread wide your table Lord Gather us in Tear down the barrier walls Between us and them By the power of the Spirit By the Word made flesh In the kingdom of heaven With the wolf and the lamb The earth is the Lord's And all it contains Lead us to the end of Us versus them By the power of the Spirit By the Word made flesh In the kingdom of heaven With the wolf and the lamb The earth is the Lord's And all it contains Lead us to the end of Us versus them Take our hearts of stone Give us hearts of flesh Lead us to the end of Us versus them Spread wide your table Lord Gather us in Tear down the barrier walls Between us and them Tear down the barrier walls Between us and them Tear down the barrier walls Between us and them

Mother Father God breath of every life Wild imagination birthing beauty from chaos Through the long ferment of time your songs keep rising in our darkness Every rhythm, every rhyme, every note, every rest Inspired by your love Alive in many faces Awakened to a story Played in many places Where the casting never ends There's always room for another This table will extend For every sister, every brother, every other We are standing at the portal We are searching the horizon We are longing to discover your love We are standing at the portal We are searching the horizon We are longing to discover your love Stone by stone, the foundation has grown to know this God's mercy and grace is always enough to anoint with Like that moment we're a disappointment Appoint friends to destroy sins, that's the point of atonement With every breath in every moment, writing sonnets in the forest Enjoying His voice and rejoicing on who the Lord is Listening in to the whispers in the wind, proximity Singing songs softly, sweetly this soliloquy Oui, oui mon ami, every stone's a foundation Built upon the rock ages for all nations Tribe, tongue and people reflective of God's image Hurt can be concealed, once revealed cures the village Peace be still, come along with me and sing What a wondrous sound, thunderous voices resound Echoing the entrance of the King of Kings You, me, together we chant "let freedom ring" Listening for your voice your whisper in this place God of many tongues Love we cannot tame Take us deeper take us further take us across our borders 'Til—though many—we are one We are standing at the portal We are searching the horizon We are longing to discover your love We are standing at the portal We are searching the horizon We are longing to discover your love Your love, in places forgotten Beyond all we have known Through every ache, every struggle Your love can make a home In places we have forgotten Beyond all we have known Through every ache, every struggle Your love builds stone by stone Your love builds stone by stone Your love builds stone by stone

about

The Songs of Place EP was recorded live at our Cultivate gathering on September 30, 2022 at Normal Heights United Church in San Diego. Our host venue has created an intimate space for worship in the round, and we remember this night fondly, singing together as a way to unify our voices and engage our bodies to collectively express our love for Jesus as we cultivate the dream of God in our neighborhoods.

Your digital download includes our songbook with chords so you can play these songs in your home, neighborhood, or faith community. Learn more about this project: parishcollective.org/music
