One in a Number; The Bluffton Women's Choir's blog

"May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly
where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities
that are born of faith in God, yourself and others. May you use the
gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given
to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this
knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to
sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us."

When you Say Nothing at All

It's amazing how you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word,
You can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth in your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me Whenever I fall
You say it best when you say
Nothing at all

All day long I can hear people
Talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd
Try as they may they could never define
What's been said between your
Heart and mine

Repeat chorus twice

When you Say Nothing At All

 

 

The Bird Song

I hear a bird chirping up in the sky, I'd like to be free like that, spread my wings so high.

I see the river flowing, water running by, I'd like to be that river, see what I might find.

I feel the wind a-blowing, slowly changing time, I'd like to be that wind, I'd swirl and shape the sky.

I smell the flowers blooming, opening for spring, I'd like to be those flowers, open to everything.

*Instrumental Interlude*

I feel the seasons change: the leaves, the snow and sun. I'd like to be those seasons, made up and undone.

I taste the living earth, the seeds that grow within, I'd like to be that earth, a home where life begins

 I see the moon a-rising, reaching into night, I'd like to be that moon, a knowing, glowing light.

I know the silence as the world begins to wake, I'd like to be that silence as the morning breaks.

*Instrumental Interlude*

I hear a bird chirping up in the sky, I'd like to be free like that, spread my wings so high.

I see the river flowing, water running by, I'd like to be that river, see what I might find.

I feel the wind a-blowing, slowly changing time, I'd like to be that wind, I'd swirl and shape the sky.

I smell the flowers blooming, opening for spring, I'd like to be those flowers, open to everything.

I Be Your Water (when you're thirsty and dry)

 

I Be Your Water

I be your shelter
I be your land
I be your every-thing;
I be your friend

I be your water when you're thirsty and dry.

I woke up moaning in a crowded sick place
Surrounded by evil, protected by grace
There were these hands, (there were these hands)hundreds reaching for me (there were these hands!)
They knew exactly who and what I should be
Each way I turned, each one stronger than the last
Which would I choose and how could I pass?

Then I heard whispers (be still, be still, be still)
From deep inside me (be still, be still, be still)
Then I heard whispers (be still, be still, be still)
From deep inside me (be still, be still, be still)

As I gave power to the sound of my own voice
A way broke before me, I followed my choice
I walked along the way other lives had been (Ohhh)
Till I came to what seemed like an end
Again these hands, (there were these hands ) reaching beck'ning for me
(there were these hands)
They knew exactly who and what I should be

Again the whispers (be still, be still, be still)
Keeping me steady (be still, be still, be still)
Again the whispers (be still, be still, be still)
Keeping me steady (be still, be still, be still)

The way before me was mine to take
There was no road, no path to take
As I had my life through this muddy rock way
Others toiled beside me for a justice new day
Still, I have felt lonely (I have felt lonely), most of the time (I have felt lonely)
Walking this sweet freedom struggle of mine
Still I have felt lonely (I have felt lonely), most of the time (I have felt lonely)
Walking this sweet freedom struggle of mine

Saved by the whispers (be still, be still, be still)
Keeping me steady (be still, be still, be still)
Saved by the whispers (be still, be still, be still)
Keeping me steady (be still, be still, be still)

Yesterday I stumbled around the bend
I saw you standing you reached me your hand
I've seen you before, oh many a time
Why, your life had plowed the road right next to mine
Now you make the sun (you make the sun) rise in my sky (you make the sun)
You rock the cradle honey, you make me fly
You keep me company
Now you make the sun (you make the sun)
Rise in my sky (you make the sun),
You rock my cradle honey,
You make me fly
You keep me company

I be your shelter
I be your land
I be your every-thing
I be your friend
I be your water
when you’re thirsty and dry

 

I think we need some inspiration

Do we need a Muse?
