[Oe List ...] lyrics for the song "Being"

Sun Jul 28 05:13:25 PDT 2013

Contemplation:  When in the midst of strife
Poverty:  Come walk with Francis
Obedience:  Come all spirits roaming freely
Being:  My life is as vast as the sea
Prayer:  When I see my life ever is torn

Jim Wiegel

My memories of Russ were from the Westside
days.  Gentle, insightful.  Dark hair and dark eyes.  Calm.

for the song "Being"

Dear David Walters and all, 
The small part I recall of the late Russell Campbell is this:  
 ( this will need some help from others.) 

Russell and Kaye Hayes were assigned to work around the northern part
of Australia-   around Darwin and to some of the Aboriginal Mission
stations-  Russell used to wear sandals that he had made out of  used
tyres. 

When Russell was living in the Sydney House, he composed both the
Contemplation song-  ' Come walk with Francis' and the Being song.
 The music would be blaring out  loudly most of the day while he
wrote his poetry. 

Russell always wore a very simple grey 'safari suit' . He had made it
himself.  He wore his dark, wavy hair shoulder length. 
When he was assigned to the children's structures, the children always
did interesting and different activities- e.g..,climbing trees. 

Grace and peace,
Isobel Bishop

Jon, not formatted the nice way it is on a one sheet but this might work for
your purposes: 

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.

j'aime la vie 

Yesterday, appreciate; tomorrow, anticipate; today,
participate. In all, Celebrate!

If anyone has the lyrics for the song, "Being" I would like to use them for my
