Why this “mission statement”
(Why burn down the missions?) Remake “ Hi Elton… consider this…”
You may not see the angel except in dreams
And yes, the angels come, to call in these
When things are getting desperate, your alone
Time to bring the good Lord into your home….
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody now, bring your family down to the riverside!
John the Baptist waters help our Spirits thrive!
The children leap for joy when their soul awakes, and
Its a grand celebration at the Great Lakes!
Why build a mission, why invest inside a hive?
Why climb a mountain, if the people in the valley thrive?
Why cross the ocean, to see whats on the other shore?
Why build a rocket, when your living on the second floor?
There’s no deep woods, to get lost in today.
Life aint a myth, and evil is made to pay.
Have faith in what is good, Love will hold you tight.
The fire of God’s dominion, is the only Truth and light.
Everybody now, bring your family down to the riverside!
John the Baptist waters help our spirit thrive!
The children leap for joy when their soul awakes, and
Its a grand celebration at the Great Lakes!
Why build a mission, why invest inside a hive?
Why climb a mountain, if the people in the valley thrive?
Why cross the ocean, to see whats on the other shore?
Why build a rocket, when your living on the second floor?
You may say what your thinking, stays inside
You may say what your doing, is in your room
But people all around you, do abide,
And small bad choices, make a tomb….
Why pray at churches, why stop and sing a song of praise?
Why join your neighbors, and help them have some better days?
Why be a leader, and use your strength to lift a child
Why build a mission, and see some good that lasts a while?
Everybody now, bring your family down to the riverside!
John the Baptist waters help our Spirits thrive!
The children leap for joy when their soul awakes, and
Its a grand celebration at the Great Lakes!
Why build a mission, why invest inside a hive?
Why climb a mountain, if the people in the valley thrive?
Why cross the ocean, to see whats on the other shore?
Why build a rocket, when your living on the second floor?
The friday before Mother’s day this year, my daughter took me to the Basilica missions in Carmel California. I was blown away by the beauty, serenity and devoutness shared in the history of this beautiful sanctuary. For me that is what Faith is… a Sanctuary.
