A Meditation Moment

Someone will describe something precious and in that moment they give words to what your heart feels but you cannot define. Recently I heard someone describe sitting at the piano as meditative space for them and it gave clarity to my own time in the same place. A place where you are free to let the music come, unscripted, unwritten, and it flows from your heart. Perhaps that is why the most glorious freedom at the piano comes where there is no one waiting for me to play.

Meditation moments are for you and the Almighty alone I think, and while there may be others around, they are on the periphery and you are unaware of their presence. Moments of beautiful love and Light that are a love line from God, in my experience. Often in this time I am lost and not even aware of what I am playing.

Communion is a sacred part of our Christian heritage and is also a meditation moment where another kind of deep love line is heard from the Almighty. The following song drew me into this space in a service and I keep looking at it realizing there is such a wholeness message from Jesus in this piece. I let these words flow, let notes come, and find this song bringing me to quiet places with the Holy One repeatedly .

Come Touch Our Hearts

Come touch our hearts that we may know compassion,
From falling embers build a blazing fire;
Love strong enough to overturn injustice,
To seek a world more gracious, come touch and bless our hearts.

Come touch our souls that we may know and love you,
Your quiet presence all our fears dispel;
Create a space for spirit to grow in us,
Let life and beauty fill us, come touch and bless our souls.

Come touch our minds and teach us how to reason,
Set free our thoughts to wonder and to dream;
Help us to open doors of understanding,
To welcome truth and wisdom, come touch and bless our minds.

Come touch us in the moments we are fragile,
And in our weakness your great strength reveal;
That we may rise to follow and to serve,
Steady now our nerve, come touch and bless our wills.

Come touch us now, this people who are gathered,
To break the bread and share the cup of peace;
That we may love you with our heart, our soul,
Our mind, our strength, our all, come touch us with your grace.
