On October 16 we enjoyed our second annual Talent Smackdown, at which we learned what entertaining talents some of our members have. To see a video of it click here
Our member Robert Hegwood offered an original song about Orthodox worship and prayer. Later he made a video of it with pictures – see it here.
THAT’S THE WAY THE WHEAT BOWS
© 2011 by Robert W. Hegwood
Shuffle to the side a little
Room for another
Shuffle to the front
To greet your mother
Light a little candle
Place it in the sand
Say a little prayer
With a gesture of your hand.
Refrain:
That’s the way the wheat bows
When the wind blows
That’s the way the wheat bows
When the wind blows.
That’s the way the wheat bows
When the wind blows
That’s the way the wheat bows
When the wind blows.
Step a little closer
Hear the story told
Treasure for a clay pot
Silver and gold
Shuffle up the middle
Taste the fountain from a spoon
Go live it outside
Come back soon
(Refrain)
Sitting in candle light
Knots on a string
Counting’s not the hard part
Heart takes wing
Mercy on my father, mother,
Mercy on me
Mercy on my sister, brother,
And my enemy
(Refrain)
Fall to the ground again
Seed for the sower
Tears drop silently
Seas for the rower
Counting all the peekers
Peering from the wall
Watching through their windows
At the shufflers all
(Refrain)
Shuffle to the side a little
Room for another
Shuffle to the front
To greet your Brother
Light a little candle
Place it in the sand
Say a little prayer
With a gesture of your hand.
(Refrain)
