- “Before you knew before you believed you were
called by name
Your richest hour your roughest path it knows
You just the same
Like the rain on thirsty land
Sweet music for your dance
The saving grace of God’s own hand
Will change you in the hands of love
Take these hands and never let them go
To life you up and guide you like a good friend
That you know
And a promise that comes from above
That you’d be carried
Carried by the hands of love”

- “Like a sweet sound coming down the mountain
Making my whole world a sun that’s bound to rise
Nothing like you to put me back in my skin
It’s good for my soul it’s good medicine
Hearts in need of rescue
Or maybe just a smile
Waiting on the best of you
Be prepared to wait a while”

Has been mystified by grace
Loving arms swept me away
And it’s too late it’s too late
We are tumbled in the stream
We go crashing over and over
We are broken at the seams
We are FILLED with Holy Water”

If we should fall from Love
Heaven help us all
If we should fall from Love
That’s us beneath your umbrella
We both walk in my shoes
Oh some impossible storyteller
Wrote me in right next to you
You say this could be forever
I say maybe so
But God only knows
where would I be without you?

You look back and you’re not so sure
But in the hands of love your were
All along all along
Rust or diamonds
Well you wonder who you are
Under who you are
Lord’ I’m tryin’
all the while I’m tumblin’ barrel rollin’
What a crazy way to save me”

- "There is a river of life all around us
It's our common ground, the gift we are given
Ocean and sky, the wild of the forest,
Were here long before us and meant for all children
We bring our differences, our hopes, our faith our fears
We'll build a home for love in this family
For the light that brought us here

“Waterfall drink your fill
Washing over you it spills
Night and day it’s runnin’ wild
We’re born to be a river child
Tossed about like a toy
From the badlands to good soil
We could’ve never bargained for
The might ride of Joy
This is love that’s been spilled
This is grace that is willed
Every empty heart be filled
Waterfall waterfall”
Waterfall by Peter Mayer, Brendan Mayer and Adam Guth

- And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
16For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.
17Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.”

- I don’t know if Peter is intentionally singing about Jonah ben Amittai (which literally means) Jonah the Dove, Son of Truth or not. But, I do know that Jonah along with some of us have at times in our lives tried to run from “the presence of the Lord.”

Could see one lost for the 99
And Faith and hope were a tiny seed

Give one more change to be
Found in you we are one
In One Peace”

From the word that touched the earth
Round this house we plant a Garden

Lend your hand in lifting up
This is the day of creation
Built on the cornerstone of love”

- “Have a little faith in angels
You never know where they might be
Have a little faith in angels
And you might begin to see
If you have a little faith in you and me
Ask me how the sun crosses the sky
Or the wind can bend the tree
And I'll ask you how a love can survive
If we don't believe what we can't see”
Faith in Angels by Peter Mayer

- I was at a wedding rehearsal many years ago when the presiding pastor told the soon to be bride and groom and the approximately 18 wedding party attendants and the 60 or so members of the wedding entourage that the literal meaning of the word “companion”
was: One who breaks bread with you.
His point of course was well taken, be “companions.” Take time to break bread with each other.

- If you read or listened to yesterday’s devo “IN A BOX” you will recall that I wrote a fair amount about the feelings of Mary and Martha as well as Jesus. However, there is very little Biblical data regarding what Lazarus was thinking and feeling following his “come back” or more appropriately “come out” experience.

- Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. Peter's words tell it as it is,
“I’ve believed betrayed swayed and discussed
Still I feel like a wrapped up Lazarus"
The picture on this page is of me as a little kid in a box. I liked being in a box at that time. However, since that time, I've gotten into some boxes (either of my own accord or placed there by others). I also need to confess that I've put others in a box from time to time. Consequently, either in perception or in reality their potential and gifts have been limited by my inability to grant them the freedom of expression which I naturally crave and desire for myself and from others. Additionally, I have probably tried to put God in a box from time to time, too. May, you have done that or attempted to do that as well.
