In these bodies we will live,
In these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love
You invest your life
Awake my soul.....
Awake my soul.....
Awake my soul.....
For you were made to meet your Maker.

-Mumford & Sons, Awake My Soul

The Cage

My body is a cage
We take what we're given
Just because you've forgotten
Doesn't mean you're forgiven

I'm living in an age 
That screams my name at night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight

Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free

Set my body free

-Arcade Fire, My Body is a Cage

Enjoy Me

Just these two words He spoke changed my life,
"Enjoy Me."
What a burden I thought I was to carry - 
a crucifix, as did He.
Love once said to me, "I know a song, 
would you like to hear it?"
And laughter came from every brick
in the street and every pore in the sky.
After a night of prayer, He changed my life when
He sang,
"Enjoy Me."

-St. Teresa of Avila

Ashes

Ashes of paper, ashes of a world 
Wandering, when fire is done:
We argue with the drops of rain!

Until One comes Who walks unseen
Even in elements we have destroyed.
Deeper than any nerve
He enters flesh and bone.
Planting His truth, He puts our 
substance on. 
Air, earth and rain rework the frame that fire has ruined.
What was dead is waiting for His Flame.
Sparks of His Spirit spend their seeds & hide
To grow like irises, born before summertime.

-Thomas Merton
