1.	Sandra McCracken and Ben Shive - What Is 07:35	lyrics	buy track
What Is? What could have been Missed the only train “What should have been” We only ask in vain What we we aim for, we exchange for Where we’ve landed. You can open up the present every day You can cry for the “one that got away” Like the rain at dawn, and the clouds roll on Empty handed. Chorus: We could miss all of this, If we wish it all away I wanna wake up In the moment Receiving What is What is… Ohh What is What Sometimes memory tricks or trades Sometimes the photograph, it fades So I counterfeit A creation myth To understand me But I went back to my old hometown The whole scene almost knocked me down I thought I’d left for good But the Healer would not unhand me Chorus I can see the end of it Every vector pointing To the wondrous why and when of it And all the lines rejoining At the still point of the turning world Where the past and future gather What was and is and is to come What is ever after What is what is
2.	Sandra McCracken and Ben Shive - He Is Moving 03:36	lyrics	buy track
He Is Moving CH: He is moving right under our feet He is moving open your eyes and see Sow your tears, sing your song Set your face Toward the sun Providence surely comes Steady on, strain to see Signs of something Yet to be Wings of hope Lifting me CH He is moving right under our feet He is moving open your eyes and see Little roof, under snow In the hearth Fire glow Soon will slip The heavy load Wait a while Barren branch Underneath withered grass Through the dark, Spring at last CH He is moving right under our feet He is moving open your eyes and see Bridge ideas: When we don’t understand Trust the good he has planned Take all things from his hand And know… (pause) Chorus: He is moving right under our feet (half verse) Lay the grain In the ground Put your hand to the plow In the sky, heavy clouds When he comes, For his own, He will reap what is grown Nothing like what is sown He is moving right under our feet He is moving open your eyes and see He is moving trust the mystery He is moving open your eyes
3.	Sandra McCracken and Ben Shive - Do You Dream 07:14	lyrics	buy track
Do You Dream Sundays when I sing Some days I just feel too many things And I need to find a quiet place Somewhere I can fall down on my face There is too much noise In the stillness is there still a voice Is the spirit in me whispering Are your thoughts of me a steady stream? Beside the healing water I am waiting to wade in I’m far from where I wanted And far from where I’ve been Do you dream still I’ll be whole and healed Will you dream with me Of what will be? You are like the tide I am yielded as the sand subsides Wondering what change you had in mind? You will bring it one wave at a time And as my eyes are lifted With My face held in your hands So much of me has drifted Would you see me as I am? (How far can you see?) How near you bring / What’s out of reach How great your thoughts / How dear to me Quick as the sun / Light on your feet How great your thoughts / How dear to me
