[Oe List ...] lyrics for the song "Being" Is this it?

[Paula Philbrook]

BEING

*Tune:* *Theme from "Black Orpheus"*



My life is as

Vast as the sea

No boundaries no

Floor beneath me.



Yet as I look within

No man has greater sin.

I am the least of all

I daily fall.



But it's then when I

Doubt that I can

I choose to be nothing

For man.



To die is my lot

I live as if not

With Paul

I merge with all.

I see then as

Never before

The secrets of

heaven my store.



With wisdom twice my age

My life an open page

Though with each insight

Gain a deeper pain.



Yet I live with the

Lord on my side

And wild intuition

My guide.



I'm sent as a sign

The bread and the wine

My form

And virgin born.

Then I act seeing

Action is vain

And accomplishments

Never as gain.



To only do is less

Than forming humanness So mission I must be

To set men free.



Called to burn as an Undying flame

Each word and each

Gesture the Name.



I must through life-loss

An exalted cross

My place

Reveal his face

Then the Lord through

My life prays a prayer

And my being is

Filled being there.



I can invent anew what

All the saints once knew

By being who I am

I create man.



And it's no longer

I who is seen

But the Lord standing

There in between.



Finished as I die

Held there between

Sky and sod

To save our God.



Yes, it's there on the limbs of the worm-eaten tree where the All and the
Nothing can BE.

*Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough,
and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to
clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger
into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today,
and creates a vision for tomorrow*.
*Melody* Beattie
