Sweet and Gentle

This is a song that I'll do to coalesce the energy before starting a call and response chant. The inspiration for the lyrics is a combination of Rumi and St. Francis. The E-bow guitar is courtesy of my Chicago kirtan hero, Rich Logan.




Lyrics:

Sweet and gentle God, light the darkness of my heart
And give me my sweet Lord, deep faith and certain hope

From your charity a beggar soul like me
Can become your love tonight
I will kiss your lips and eyes.

Your truth and graciousness, compassion and holiness,
It sets my troubles down, it lays my troubles down.

Your are my blanket and my tea.
I drink you deep, I am wrapped in thee
So I lay my burden down
And I let go and drown in you.
