This is one of the songs we sang on Sunday.


Circles by Gwen Zak
____________________________________
In days gone by when the world was much younger
Men wondered at spring born of winters cold night.
Wondering at the games of the moon and the sunlight
They saw the Lady and Lord of all life.

Chorus
And around and around and around turns the good earth
All things must change as the seasons go by
We are the children of the Lord and the Lady
Whose mysteries we know, but we'll never know why.

In all lands the people were tied to the good earth
Plowing and sowing as the seasons declared
Waiting to reap of the rich golden harvest
Knowing her laugh in the joys that they shared

Chorus

In Flanders and Wales and the green lands of Ireland
the kingdom of England and Scotland and Spain
Circles grew up all along the wild coast line
And worked for the land with the sun and the rain

Chorus

Circles for healing and working the weather
Circles for knowing the moon and the sun
Circles for thanking the Lord and the Lady
Circles for dancing the dance never done

Chorus

And we who reach for the stars in the heavens
Turning our backs on the fields and the groves
Still live in the love of the Lord and the Lady
The greater the Circle the more the love grows

Chorus
