Come In (Philippines Gospel Trip)

Psalm 119:2 Note 2

El gozo de mi Dios,
Mi fortaleza es. 
Ungiéndome hoy está, 
De gozo llena mi ser. 
Olvidando lo demás, 
Al servir y laborar,
Solo debo⏝abrir mi ser, 
Con gozo le cantaré–

¡Mi gozo⏝es Dios! 
Mi fuerza⏝es Él.
Cada día
Le⏝alabaré.
Mi Dios de⏝amor, 
Indecible,
Cuan grande⏝es Él, 
Lleno de gloria,
Él mi gozo llega⏝a ser.

En Cristo la vid morar, 
Su vivo suplir tomar. 
Su gozo mi gozo es,
Al Su nombre invocar. 
El pleno gozo en mí 
Desplaza mi ansiedad, 
Me da completa paz
Pues Cristo⏝es mi realidad.

El gozo de mi Dios (¡Mi gozo es Dios!)

The Last Beluga Whale - Gert Holle 
Vor vier Jahren schrieb ich mit „The Last Beluga Whale“ einen für mich sehr wichtigen Song, mit dem ich aufrütteln wollte. Seitdem ist das Engagement für Umwelt, für unsere Zukunft allgemein leider spürbar eingebrochen. Auch wenn es in der medialen Wahrnehmung in den Hintergrund getreten ist: Die Lebensräume vieler Arten sind mehr denn je bedroht. Populationen schrumpfen gewaltig. Höchste Zeit zu handeln. Deswegen wiederhole ich heute noch einmal meinen Appell: Mache mit und setze dem Klimawandel und Artensterben Dein Engagement entgegen. Nehme nicht so einfach hin, dass wir das Leben vieler Geschöpfe unserem Gott des Wachstums opfern. Wir können etwas verändern, wir müssen etwas ändern. Mir liegt etwas daran, dass die sogenannte „letzte Generation“ nicht die „letzte Generation“ wird. Und Dir und Euch geht es nicht anders. Davon bin ich überzeugt. – Alles Liebe, Gert Holle.

Four years ago, I wrote “The Last Beluga Whale,” a song that was very important to me and with which I wanted to shake people up. Since then, commitment to the environment and to our future in general has unfortunately declined noticeably. Even though it has faded into the background in media coverage, the habitats of many species are more threatened than ever. Populations are shrinking dramatically. It is high time to act. That is why I am repeating my appeal today: join in and counter climate change and species extinction with your commitment. Don't just accept that we are sacrificing the lives of many creatures to our god of growth. We can make a difference, we must make a difference. It is important to me that the so-called “last generation” does not become the “last generation.” And I am convinced that you feel the same way. – All the best, Gert Holle.

Last Beluga Whale

The last falcon in the sky
circles across the desert land.
We take care of ourselves,
ignoring the changes in the world.
That’s what we learned,
growth is our God in daily life.
Want more of this?
We did not understand the warning signs.

I’m feeling blue
Aching in my heart – so deep.
I’m sorry for you.
Tears are running on the ground.

The last beluga whale
plows through the plastic-strewn sea.
We do not want to see:
We are living beyond the means.
That’s what we learned,
growth is our God in daily life.
Want more of this?
We didn’t understand the warning signs.

I’m feeling blue
Aching in my heart – so deep.
I’m sorry for you.
Tears are running on the ground.

Bridge:
Ride a nightmare to the bitter end.
Wonder: How could tomorrow ever follow then.
Ride a nightmare to the bitter end.
We have to awake – right now!
I’m feeling blue
Aching in my heart – so deep.
I’m sorry for you.
Tears are running on the ground.

The children of the earth
begin to awake and cry.
Hope will never end,
but we have to start to change.
It’s almost too late,
but the future is not giving up yet.
We just have to see:
less could be more – most certainly.

I am confident,
closure in our hearts can change.
Come on - get on your way,
take the tiny chance – right now.

Last Beluge Whale - Gert Holle - 2021 - 2025

I’ve put miles, I’ve put miles
I’ve put miles on this old Tanglewood
it’s been with me, it’s been with me 
It’s been with me for every twist and turn

my blackbird sings in the dead of night 
it’s playing the soundtrack to my life 
it always seems to sound just right 
so it goes to show the best things in life 

it's not classy, it's not fancy
but you won’t catch me without my Tanglewood, 'cause

my blackbird sings in the dead of night 
it’s playing the soundtrack to my life 
it always seems to sound just right 
so it goes to show the best things in life 
are not always what you’d expect they’ll be 
and sometimes the only thing you need 
is a hollow body adorned with strings 
some good company and a bottomless drink

This ol' Tanglewood

Eat God!

Ecclesiastes 3:11

I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart;
I will enter His courts with praise.
I will say this is the day that the Lord has made.
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
He has made me glad, He has made me glad,
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
He has made me glad, He has made me glad,
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.

I Will Enter His Gates

1. What about my sinful past?
And my conscience has no rest.
Deep within I feel the pain.
I’m condemned from all my guilty stains.

2. O my life of misery,
In this world of vanity,
As I searched for happiness,
My reward I received just emptiness.

3. God was far away from me,
Great and highest One is He.
Yet You took on humanity.
You came for me,
Hung on a tree,
Bled there to die for me.
 	
4. That’s why I love Him.
That’s why I treasure Him.
That’s why I give my life and all to Him.
That’s why I love Him.
That’s why I treasure Him.
That’s why I give my life and all to Him.

That's Why I Love Him

Would You subdue my soul?
Would You increase in me?
For years Your life has been so bound,
O Lord, within my soul! Grow in me!
Would You break forth again?
Would You flow unrestrained?
Divide my spirit from my soul!
O may my spirit reign! O Lord!
O may my spirit reign! O Lord!

Soften my hardened heart,
Touch all its calloused sense,
Till You gain ground in all my heart;
O Lord! Revive my being and dispense!
Soulish love, Lord, recede,
Nat’ral strength, Lord, deplete,
Fill more with Spirit, Lord, I plead!
This cost I’d hourly meet! O Lord!
This cost I’d hourly meet! O Lord!

Shine on my life and work,
Reveal my Christlessness;
The flesh expose that loves to boast
In vanity, its own righteousness.
In all things great or small,
Sever me from the fall—
Deliver me from right and wrong
Till tree of life is all! O Lord!
Till tree of life is all! O Lord!

Lord, break my outer man;
All independent traits
To death confine by pow’r divine;
Each feeling, thought and word regulate.
Quiet soul reinstate,
Every part saturate;
Upon Your gentle voice I’d wait;
Your move initiate! O Lord!
Your move initiate! O Lord!

Grant me the grace to bear
What’s measured by Your hand;
Lest I be blind and You withstand,
Lord, do what pleases You—I consent!
From my wounded heart raise
Sacrifices of praise;
I’d worship You in all Your ways
And You as God appraise! O Lord!
And You as God appraise! O Lord!

O Lord, mature in me,
Channel of life make me;
That long before my days shall end,
Life from my being flow constantly.
Help us learn earnestly
Skills to fight corporately,
Perpetuate Your victory,
Subdue Your enemy! O Lord!
Subdue Your enemy! O Lord!

Psalm 119:2 Note 2
