Where we live is holy, holy is the ground.
Water, wind and sunlight, holy is the Sound.
Mighty Spirit singing circles all around.
Mighty Spirit singing circles all around.

Holy, Holy, Holy,
Maker of heaven and earth.
All is full of Thy glory.
All is full of Thy glory.

We can rise with the fire of freedom,
Truth is the fire that burns our chains,
And we can stop the fire of destruction,
Healing is the fire running through our veins.

play mp3 clip of Right Here, Right Now

(intro)
The moment that is here right now is free-form, spiral leaping flames,
The smack, crack, deadly pop of lead becoming pure.

The moment that is here right now is intuitive rhythm and spontaneous pulse.
It is soul in hand on heart, it is Spirit throbbing true.

The moment that is here right now is trust, with pounding hearts and open eyes,
We are growing roots that stretch down and faith that reaches out.

The moment that is here right now is heartbeat, dancing, kissing union,
Embracing Yes! our highest vision -
As we celebrate all that is right here, and right now.

(chorus – 4x)
The moment we have been praying for is here
Right here, right now!
(descant)
Here and now, here and now

(verses)
Here is the minute, and now is the moment,
and it is passing by -
I’m the clock ticking, I’m the baby kicking,
I am the child’s cry.

Here is the minute and now is the moment
and it is passing by -
I’m the fire burning, I’m the heart yearning,
I am the lover’s sigh.

Here is the minute, and now is the moment,
and it is passing by -
I’m the breath taker, I’m the life maker,
I am the open eye.

(coda)
The moment we have been praying for is here
Right now, right now, right now,…

play mp3 clip of I am the Fire

I am the fire and the union of opposites.
I am the mystery.
I am calling you in your dreams.
I am bringing you home to me.

(descant)
Hermes, Aphrodite, chalice and the blade,
Join now in reunion, rose and thorn are one.

play mp3 clip of Fire of Creation

It starts very quietly. It starts with a spark.
It starts in the center.  It starts in the heart.

Fire of creation, Fire of purification
Fire of transformation, Fire of illumination.

Illuminate us. Create us anew.
Purify and transform. Make us like You.
