82 Music Therapy – Iona – Irish Day
Yeah, I didn’t have to read deep into the lyrics on this one IONA song… it’s all me…
“Here, I kneel upon this ground
Love can heal
When truth is found”
This glorious white snow still has beautiful green under it…it’s S.t Pats all year round for me… I wrote about the Green Lantern, I even copied a green poem from that tiny book I found (and still resides on the closet across from the copyroom) and dropped a copy in pastor’s mailbox… green green green…I so enjoyed both my trips to Ireland….I will tell you sometime about how I got to turn the page on a copy of the Book of Kells, and was saved from freezing to death when stranded in snow in Sally’s Gap in the mountains outside Dublin….
St Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland… “Christ be within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ inquired, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
Iona – Irish Day Lyrics
Sand as white as snow
Swirls like smoke around my feet
And a sky that turns in a moment
From blue to gray
All these things I see on an Irish day
It is here that time has granted
That the light should still burn on
It was here a seed was planted
In the brave heart of an Irish son
Here before my time
Walked men of faith and truth
In a land that was dark
They followed the way
Bringing sweet light on an Irish day
It is here that time has granted
That the light should still burn on
It was here a seed was planted
In the brave heart of an Irish son
Here, I kneel upon this ground
Love can heal
When truth is found
