Fr. Bill’s CD Lyrics

Lives of Praise: Under,Over,Into & Out

Under the skies that reach forever, under disguise you dwell inside
Under the sun that beams bright beauty, under the veil of the Church, your Bride.
Under the Son we serve the Father, under the Spirit’s gift and flame
Under the watchful eyes of Heaven, under the quiet you call…my name.

Over the hills and mountains sturdy, over the eagles’ call we praise
Over the missionaries serving, over our nature you gush forth grace
Over confusion your Truth delivers, over the tongues that temp and tease
Over discouragement, love’s still winning, over and above your sweet grace frees.

Into the mist of contemplation, into the mystery we flee
Into new Trust, no hesitation; into our souls Our Lord can see
Into the rhythm ever-graceful, into weak sinners gifts he plants
Into the Ocean of Mercy, dive we; into the God of Glory’s dance

Out of the darkness, Christ is calling; out to proclaim His Gospel True
Out of His Will to save creation, out of our minds we are, for you!
Out of desire for Divine Will seeking, out of no plan we call our own
Out of a joyful life-surrender; out to proclaim the Love He’s shown!

Under no pretense of perfection, under obedience we grow
Over the fears that creep their chilling; over the set-backs like sleds on snow.
Into our call with new abandon, into apostles who serve, sincere,
Out of the Heart of Christ Most Sacred, out of His Mercy Our Lord is Here!
