Sacred Ground by Benjamin Harlan

Date(s) Performed: March 15

Lyrics

To wonder, Lord, awake my sight,
To see that Christ is all around,
So fill my gaze with heavenly light,
‘Til common things are sacred ground.

You gift us, Lord, the world You own,
To mirror here Your grace above.
A child’s embrace, the neighbor known,
In simple signs we see Your love.

Come now to us in stranger, in friend;
In daily meals, on table shared;
In simple cup, in common bread,
Renew our vision to see Your care.

All earth is filled with heaven’s light,
Bid wondering eyes to see all around;
When Christ, diffused in all our sight:
The common things, are sacred ground.
