The Sacred Now
Verse 1
I turned my back upon the silent tide
And left the ferryman without a guide
The heavy paper of the ancient laws
Fades into nothing when I find the cause
Not in the marble, not in the endless sky
But in the quiet where our shadows lie
I traded the quiet of a dreamless space
To find the holy in the warmth of your face
Chorus
The sacred isn’t hidden in the stone
It is the marrow, it is the bone
We are the universe, awake and alive
The love that we hold is how the spirit survives
I walked to the edge of the endless night
Just to bring you back the light
The temple is open, the heavens bow
The infinite lives in the sacred now
Verse 2
They tried to lock the spirit in a cage
To trap the eternal on a yellowed page
But I have seen the river and the mist
And know the only miracle is we exist
A fragile vessel holding endless grace
Two fleeting sparks in a boundless space
No need for a savior to show us the way
When heaven is breathing in us today
Chorus
The sacred isn’t hidden in the stone
It is the marrow, it is the bone
We are the universe, awake and alive
The love that we hold is how the spirit survives
I walked to the edge of the endless night
Just to bring you back the light
The temple is open, the heavens bow
The infinite lives in the sacred now
Bridge
Let the fortress fall, let the cannons rust!
We are so much more than fading dust!
The veil was torn, the room was opened wide
And all of eternity rushed to be inside!
Death is a whisper, a momentary breeze
But love is the forest that outlives the trees!
Outro
Not in the heavens.
Here in the breath.
A love that is older and stronger than death.
Alive in the roots.
Awake in the light.
I’m staying with you…
Through the night.
