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

Sun Jul 28 09:59:19 PDT 2013

Thank you, Isobel. I'm gratified to know this. I've particularly loved  
those two genius songs.

Now, who knows the writer of writers of Dark Night - Long  March? In my 
copy of the song book, I've changed the words "I  suffer death before I die" to 
"I suffer death in midst of life."

Blessings,

Jann

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!
