Sweet Song of Yourself

I am inspired and brought to reflection every time I listen to the CMP. This week, however, the music really struck a cord with me….no pun intended. Amy at the CMP has really eclectic taste in music and I love to listen to what she selects for each episode because it is usually just the right song for the topic. I don’t know if she intended this weeks episode to have such religious meaning…..after all, it is the beginning of Lent. One way or another, the music was very fitting to her discussions and very fitting to where I am this year as Easter approaches. Here are some of the lyrics to one of the songs.

Didn’t anybody ever tell you that you’re made of stars
Didn’t anybody ever tell you how wonderful you are
Didn’t anybody look into your eyes and see the whole world spinning around.

Strange days we are living in
Sometimes it seems like the signal is getting low
Keep picking up waves of love on your human radio

Wild angel don’t you think it’s time now to love yourself
Wild angel don’t you think it’s time now to love yourself

Didn’t anybody ever tell you that you’re made of space
Didn’t anybody ever tell you that you’re filled with grace
Didn’t anybody ever sing into your ear the sweet song of yourself

Strange days we are living in
Sometimes it seems like the signal is getting low
Keep picking up waves of love on your human radio

Wild angel don’t you think it’s time now to love yourself
Wild angel don’t you think it’s time now to love yourself

It’s not the end of the world
It’s not the end of the world
It’s not the end of the world

Keep picking up waves of love…..waves of love…….waves of love….waves of love
Keep picking up waves of love…..waves of love…….waves of love….waves of love

Wild angel don’t you think it’s time now to love yourself
Wild angel don’t you think it’s time now to love yourself
Don’t you think it’s time to love yourself?
