I! I am Daniel, Guillermos guitarist
for nearly forty years. I was a
cantor in a Catholic church in
Berkeley, St. Joseph the Worker, and
while there I composed this mass.
Metanoia
contains a great deal of music,
so I have prepared a sample,
excerpts that I hope you will
enjoy. If you
would like to hear more, please
e-mail me at Daniel@PeaceHost.net.
There is one
single, continuous track,
but a simple audio control
panel will appear at the
bottom of your computer
screen, which you may use to
pause, stop or navigate. I
have also provided the
lyrics and text, which you
may follow as you listen. I
urge you to use the best
computer speakers or
headphones that you have, in
able to truly enjoy the
quality of this recording.
Peace,
Daniel
In the stillness of
the morning,
In the shadows of my of my soul I
perceive the Divine.
And so I say, Namaste, my
brothers and sisters.
Namaste, blessed be. Amen.
Listen. Listen.
Listen. Listen.
Listen to your
hearts song. It will help you to
face what you fear.
It will show you the way, if your
heart you obey,
It will keep your vision clear.
Listen to your
hearts song. It will help you
begin to see
That the love in your heart is the
strongest part.
Its the music that sets you free.
Listen to your
hearts song. It will tell you who
you are.
You can reach from the depths of
the deepest sea
Outward to the highest star.
Listen to your heart
song.
It will help you be kind, it will
make you strong.
Listen (listen, listen ) to your
hearts song!
Dedication: Song For My Father
Today is a day like
any other day.
I got up, got dressed, came to
church, and here I am with you.
And Im singing a song because you
asked me to.
And this song is a
song like any other one.
It starts up, has words and a
melody.
And if it speaks to you, then its
yours for free.
But this church is a
church unlike any other one.
It accepts me as I am, and as I
wish to be.
And it brings all kinds of good
and loving friends to me.
And my mother and my
father are parents unlike any
other ones.
Ive received much of the best of
what I am from them.
And its my father, Abraham, for
whom sing this hymn.
And this day, and
this song, and this church are
special
Because of them.
Meditation: Within the Center
Of Your Heart
Within the center of
your heart, whispering
Sings the voice of God,
whispering.
Within the center of
your heart, crying low
Sings the voice of God.
Hear you now; hear you now.
Listen to the voice.
Confiteor: De Profundis
(De Profundis )
From the depths I
cry to Thee, O Lord.
Grant me strength to live Thy holy
word.
I despair that ever
shall I see Thy face.
In a world of fear that cannot
feel Thy grace.
Oft I feel the world
turn into ice.
Love is dear. No one will pay the
price.
I but seek to learn
how to forgive,
That I may be free,
and in Thy mercy live.
The Collect: As We Gather In
This Sacred Place
As
we gather in this sacred place
Let us remember those who have died
And will die for our sins in numbers
beyond counting.
As
we gather in this sacred place
Let us acknowledge those who yet
live
To grant us grace in blessings ever
mounting.
Let
us not forget those whose lives end,
as ours begin
In this sacred place. Amen, amen.
Reading: Songs Of Micah
And many nations
shall go, and say, Come, and let
us go up to the mountain of the
Lord, and to the house of the
God of Jacob; and he will teach
us of his ways, and we will walk
in his paths;
For the law shall go
forth of Zion, and the word of the
Lord from Jerusalem.
And they shall beat
their swords into plowshares, and
their spears into pruninghooks;
Nation shall not lift
up a sword against nation, neither
shall they learn war any more
And what doth the Lord require of
thee, but to do justly, and to
love mercy, and to walk humbly
with thy God?
Gospel: Beatitudes
And, seeing the
multitudes, he went up into a
mountain.
And when he was set, his
disciples came unto him.
And he opened his mouth, and
taught them, saying,
Blessed are the poor
in spirit, for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they
that mourn, for they shall be
comforted
Blessed are the
meek, for they shall inherit the
earth.
Blessed are they
which do hunger and thirst after
righteousness,
for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the
merciful, for they shall obtain
mercy.
Blessed are the pure
in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the
peacemakers,
For they shall be called the
children of God.
Alleluia (We
are Called)
Alleluia,
alleluia, alleluia, praise God!
We are called to be
servants of God,
Witnesses to Gods kingdom on
earth,
Where peace and
justice shall reign,
Where no one shall hunger, or
thirst, or want.
Alleluia,
alleluia, alleluia, praise God,
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia,
praise God,
Praise God, praise God!
I Spake
(Prayer For the Children)
When I was a man, I
spake as a man,
I understood as a man, I thought
as a man.
But when I became a
little child
I put away mannish things.

Lead us from iniquity.
Help us to flowr in the

As flowers in the garden of

Our Father, which
art in heaven, hallowed be Thy
name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be
done on earth, as it is in

Give us this day
our daily bread,
And forgive us our debts, as

Lead us not into temptation,
But O Lord, in Thy

From evil deliver us.
Oh Lord, be
merciful. Grant us
deliverance.
For Thine is the
kingdom, and the power and the
glory
Forever, and ever. Amen.

In the Quiet Of the
Day
In
the quiet of the day, the call of
our passion we obey;
Look within in contemplation of
God’s grace.
In
the quiet of the day, let the light
of compassion lead the way;
Look within in contemplation of
God’s face … .
In
the quiet of the day.
It Seems To Me
It
seems to me that you and I could
change the world together
We could make it better by being
truly who we are.
It seems to me, together, we could
learn to love a stranger,
Nullify the danger that confronts us
near and far.
It
seems to me, if we could see the
wounds that must be healed,
We’d move our hearts to yield the
compassion that they bear.
It seem to me the earth could be a
garden filled with laughter,
To
blossom ever after with a beauty all
could share.
At
night I dream, and in my dream above
the hills I’m flying;
Tears of joy I’m crying from the
depth of love I feel.
As
I descend a hand I lend to one whose
fingers fashion
Understanding and compassion, with a
touch that surely heals.
Yes,
in the end I find, my friend, ‘tis
you, my sister/brother.
We find in each other strength we
need to carry on.
For in your eyes I realize the joy I
find in living.
Now,
in wonder and thanksgiving I arise
to greet the dawn!
Peace and love be
with you all;
Grace divine bestow
upon you
As you go forth to
live and to serve in truth.
Sing To the Heart!
Imagine ... imagine
....
Imagine in our
darkness shines a light with which
we see
A hope and promise of a world
where we can truly be.
Imagine living in a world where
justice will prevail.
And working with compassion in
Go Forth In Peace
Go now in
peace, to love and serve all
humanity.
O blessed spirit, divine
within thee,
In truth be
thou, grace without end.
Salaam,
shalom. Namaste. Amen.
Alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, praise God!
We are called to be
servants of God,
Witnesses to God’s
kingdom on earth,
Where peace and justice shall
reign,
Where no one shall hunger, or
thirst, or want.
Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, praise God,
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia,
praise God,
Praise God, praise God!
