O Come All Ye Stumblers! Merry Christmas from the Deep Edge Community
The Deep Edge Community wishes you all a Hope-filled Advent, a Merry Christmas and an Enlightening Epiphany. We have compiled some songs and poetry in our first seven-track EP titled ‘Come All Ye Stumblers.’ We have included some tracks here for you as a Christmas gift. Our recording studio was our living room and our equipment was a laptop with a built-in microphone so you can expect the recording to be rough around the edges, but still deep in meaning. Click and enjoy!
MYSTERY
You can’t tell me there is no mystery, mystery, mystery / You can’t tell me there is no mystery / It’s everywhere I turn
Moon over Hebron guides the patriarch’s sleep, patriarch’s sleep, patriarch’s sleep / Moon over Hebron guides the patriarch’s sleep / Under the Mamre Tree
When you grow a smile on a child’s face, child’s face, child’s face / When you grow a smile on a child’s face / You are in the most holy place
The faithful bend their eighteen vertebrae, vertebrae, vertebrae / The faithful bend their eighteen vertebrae / To the Wall as they pray
We wake up hazy at the Call to Prayer, Call to Prayer, Call to Prayer / We wake up hazy at the Call to Prayer / And submit to Allah’s care
Infinity always gives me vertigo, vertigo, vertigo / Infinity always gives me vertigo / And fills me up with grace
This feast of beauty can intoxicate, intoxicate, intoxicate / This feast of beauty can intoxicate / Just like the finest wine
When the cloud is gone, Christ is all alone, all alone, all alone / When the cloud is gone, Christ is all alone / Upon my weary heart’s throne
Come all you stumblers who believe love rules, believe love rules, believe love rules / Come all you stumblers who believe love rules / Stand up and let it shine
(most lyrics by Bruce Cockburn)
BE HERE NOW
Be here now
no other place to be
or just sit there dreaming
of how life would be
if we were somewhere better
somewhere far
away from all our worries
well here we are
you are the love of my life
be here now
no other place to be
all the doubts that linger
just set them free
and let good things happen
let the future come
into each moment
like a rising sun
you are the love of my life
you are the love of my life
yeah you know you are
sun comes up and we start again
sun comes up and we start again
sun comes up and we start again
sun comes up and we start again
sun comes up and we start again
sun comes up and we start again
it’s all new today
all we have to say is
be here now
it’s all new today
all we have to say is
be here now
be here now
no other place to be
this whole world keeps changing
come change with me
everything that’s happened
all that’s yet to come
is here inside this moment
it’s the only one
you are the love of my life
you are the love of my life
yeah you know you are
sun comes up and we start again
sun comes up and we start again
sun comes up and we start again
sun comes up and we start again
sun comes up and we start again
sun comes up and we start again
it’s all new today
all we have to say is
be here now
(lyrics by Mason Jennings)
