1) SACRED RIVERS ~ Emily J Smith

In the darkness, in the firelight

Holy Embers, trees, and sky

Hearts are breathing, dancing, singing

Loving, breaking open wide

Holy Givers and Receivers

Sacred Rivers, Into One

Holy Embers, Holy Lovers

Sacred Rivers, Sacred One

I can feel you in the beating

In the reaching to the sky

We are living, loving, grieving

Breathing, breaking open wide

Overflowing, all consuming

Where can this love go?

Where is it’s place?

Holy Embers, Sacred Rivers,

Into this sea of your

Infinite Grace

Hare krishna hare krishna

Krishna krishna hare hare

Hare rama hare rama

Rama rama hare hare
