What We Hesitate To Name

On Holy Ground

Latest song … got the tune and everything. Just looking for an opportunity to sing it …

By the way … we started rehearsals with a band a couple of months ago – such a delight to be making music with friends. It looks like our first gig might be in February at the Folk Trail in Gloucester

(Friday 16th Feb upstairs at the Drunken Duck in Gloucester)

Anyway … here’s the song lyrics …

We left the house and climbed the hill
One morning in the early spring
We saw a flock of sheep just standing still
As if they saw something
And there we knew
That we had come to holy ground

A silent wonder like a flame
The very coolness of a stone
And it was like reminders of a dream
I wasn’t there alone
And then I knew
That I was there on holy ground

The night we sat and looked at stars
One constellation caught our eye
A sudden breath of wind that made us start
The colours of the sky
Both black and blue
The mystery of holy ground

Holy ground x3

The moments when we feel the touch
Of what we hesitate to name
(For fear that now we try to say too much)
Remind us why we came
For something new
That speaks to us of holy ground

I know more than I understand
I know more than I understand
I know more than I understand

I’m seeking holy ground
Remember holy ground
This might be holy ground

Holy ground x3
