ParishEvery Hour Here ~ The Innocence Mission
I wanted to share this song and heartfelt lyrics with you as I thought you would enjoy them.
Please read them while the song plays if you can.
If anyone can get this to Ray as well I'd be forever grateful, thanks...
Have a great Christmas and a very Happy New Year

---------------
We ride our bikes
around the circle in the cemetery,
weaving.
I wave up to you on the Cross.
Am I to come upon You suddenly…like this forever?
Happy, relieved that You are here
and I can see you, I can feel you?
You are like the ticket-half
I find inside the pocket of my old leaf-raking coat.
There all the time, all the while,
forgotten.
I so often seem to leave you
in churches
and other islands.
And on my beads
where I can see you, I can feel you.
where I can see you…
I take the ticket-half
and put it on the table, saying,
This is God
and He's here through my comings
and my goings.
But I walk past the ticket-half,
And I walk past the ticket-half.
I walk past the ticket-half
just as I've walked past the Cross on our wall.
Our self-importance grows so dazzling we don't see
you, dazzling we don't see you, dazzling we don't see
you…
But Gentle Jesus, aren't you always,
aren't you every hour here…
