Seeds of Joy - Assisi Energy

from Another Name For Everything by Philosofree & Optimysts

about

Please watch the YouTube video of this song on my "Philosofree" channel

Richard Rohr speaks about how the most we can do with prayer is to reflect on our own experience and willingness to walk in harmony with everything. He said the Prayer of St Francis is the best example of prayer for this reason, and as I have no reason to doubt that, I reworked that prayer into this song.

lyrics

Lord of all complexity
Let me accept everything that differs from me.
I commit to look for and believe
There is value and beauty in all that I see.

Open my heart to allow the mystery
of peace to flow through me
from your ocean, yes your unlimited waters of grace
to embrace reality in all that I face.

I will choose forgiveness and kindness to others,
as the balm I apply to this day,
this will help to heal my own shame so that I may
be aware of my judgments and flush them away.

Encourage my heart today, so that hope
will surge through me, the way the sun's bright light
Burns away my depression and doubts of last night.
Yes, Work through me to sow seeds of joy in my life

INSTRUMENTAL

sow seeds of joy in my life
sow seeds of joy in my life

Forgiveness and kindness to others,
will be the balm I apply to this day
heal my own shame so that I may
be aware of my judgments and flush them away
flush them away, flush them away

Encourage my heart today,
so that hope will surge through me, the way the sun's bright light
Burns away my depression and doubts of last night.
Yes, Work through me to sow seeds of joy in my life

Lord of all complexity
Let me accept what differs from me.
I commit to look for and believe
There is value and beauty in all that I see.

Help me reprogram my mind
Away from accusations, and comparisons
and my stupid reliance on external rewards
focus instead today on one act where I will be kind;

with deep LISTENING, oooh
And empathy and Healing in my mind.
Because my intuition knows I should treat others no differently
to how I should treat myself, with dignity

I know death will return us all, to your infinite unity.
Lord give me awareness of my attachment, blame and fear
So I can authentically see value and beauty everywhere.

I will choose forgiveness and kindness to others,
as the balm I apply to this day,
this will heal my own shame so that I may
be aware of my judgments and flush them away
flush them away
