The Way Suite

There is a beyond all ways
 There is a name beyond all names
 There is a word beyond all words
 A way to set us free
 He's the way, the truth, the life
 He's the way to set us free
 He's the mystery of mysteries
 As the Creator of all things
 The way is a name that can be spoken
 As the origin of all
 The way is way of mystery
 Mystery of all
 As manifested in all things
 We can look to its outer traces
 As ever hidden beyond all
 Its energies and essences is the Spirit of all
 (White clouds)
 As the spokes of a wheel converge in the center
 But the hub remains empty to fulfill its purpose
 So the actions of life, visible to all
 Must converge to a place empty and still
 Nurturing energy forget all words
 Be calm and still do nothing at all
 In activity and quiet know the source of all things
 Nothing more remains what else now do you see?
 Real constancy responds to real people in need
 Without confusion, stable naturally
 So energy returns producing water and fire
 Paradoxes now arise, producing children of God
 White clouds assemble on the summit
 Sweet dew bathes the mountains of God
 Sit and listen to the stringless tune
 For you clearly understand now the music of God
 Drink the wine of eternity and wandering free
 Who can know you, for you know all things
 Just sit and listen to the stringless tune
 For you clearly understand nom, the music of God
 White clouds assemble on the summit
 Sweet dew bathes the mountains of the world
 Sit and listen to the stringless tune
 For you clearly understand now the music of God
 (The sacred secret)
 Listen to the sacred secret
 Remember the mystery
 Listen to the sacred secret
 Remember the mystery
 Word now proclaimed in silence
 Victory in defeat
 Glory in humiliation
 Death is eternity
 Listen to the sacred secret
 Remember the mystery
 Listen
