Two Visions

If One Teaches - Haylee

(Lyrics and chords to come)

Recorded at an ISGP undergraduate seminar

Be Anchored - Denzil & Hanieh

O wayfarer in the path of God!
Take thou thy portion of the ocean
of His grace, and deprive not thyself
of the things hidden in its depths.
Be thou of them that have partaken of its treasures.
A dewdrop out of this ocean would, if shed upon all the heavens
and on the earth, suffice to enrich them with the bounty of God,
the Almighty,
the All-Knowing,
the All-Wise.
With the hands of renunciation
draw forth from its life-giving waters, and
sprinkle therewith all created things,
that they may be cleansed from all man-made limitations
and may approach the mighty seat of God,
this hallowed and resplendent Spot.
the Almighty,
the All-Knowing,
the All-Wise.

Made during July 2014 Institute Campaign
