David M. Bradshaw - Making Space For Grace

May we all find the inner joy of surrender
Making space for grace in both life and death
Death is a mirror reflecting all of life
From perceived tragedy to experienced grace
We're all ordinary people facing ordinary death
Selflessly born into this world we shall selflessly die

Living is fragile, and dying is safe
Giving is healing, crying myself awake
Our journey into ego notions of time and space
Our journey out of ego, helps make space for grace
The key to happiness in life compassion and attention
The key to embracing death acceptance and surrender

Life's task transforming our suffering into joy
Death's task transcending body mind and spirit
Knowing ourselves to be planted in divine love
We seamlessly merge from earthly to heavenly love
Like an ice cube, melting back into water
Warmed by God's love, we ascend as heavenly steam

May we all find the inner joy of surrender
Making space for grace in both life and death
Within every tragedy is the seeds of grace
A seed must fall to the ground to produce fruit
Blessed are those who mourn, they shall be comforted
Grace and peace follow suffering and pain

Living is fragile and dying is safe
Giving is healing, crying myself awake
We give thanks for every breath we take
Inspired lives, until a last breath we take
Like stained-glass windows, we sparkle in the sun
But true beauty is revealed from the light within

Life's task transforming our suffering into joy
Death's task transcending body, mind and spirit
All traces of fear of death are now lost
As space for grace and joy is now found
Love's our last connection with this world
Love's our natural condition leaving this world

May we all find the inner joy of surrender
Making space for grace in both life and death
May we all find the inner joy of surrender
Making space for grace in both life and death
