Another gentle folk style song from Fr Kevin Bates. You can get the feel of it from the portion available at AOV. You could pick verses for Advent or Eucharist or just sing the whole thing.
Open hearts and open minds
Give the spirit freedom.
Let God’s dream be born in us –
Let God’s dream be born.
Hearts that wonder at the Word
Hear the Word with freedom.
Let God’s Word be gently heard –
Let God’s Word be welcome.
Voice and hands that speak the Word
Give the Word with freedom.
Let God’s truth be well explored –
Let God’s truth be spoken.
Mary help of Christians hear
Our prayer that we might carry
The Word with open hearts and hands
Enflesh the words for many.
Open hearts and open minds
Break the bread of freedom.
Jesus, bread for all our needs,
Break our heart gifts open.
Come, Lord Jesus, live in us.
Come to life among us.
Let us breathe your Spirit free.
Be the gift we carry.
Open hearts and open minds
Give the spirit freedom.
Let God’s dream be born in us –
Let God’s dream be born.
