The Singing Bowl

Ring Loud
the sound of round and round
the singing of the bowl.

Ring soft
the sound of round and round
the singing of my soul.

Sing loud, so loud,
and louder still
with great vibration
Come!
Sing out the joy
that is my life
and let the chaos come.

Within the Bowl of Life, I’m held
The Center keeps me there
and with the joy
and silence too,
I fill my day with prayer.

Ring loud
the sound of round and round
the living of our days.

Ring soft
the sound of round and round
and let the music play.

The melody of round and round
that carries through the years
is God’s own voice
the Voice of Love
that calms my greatest fears.

Ring loud
the sound of round and round
the singing of the bowl.

Ring soft
the sound of round and round
the singing of my soul.
