BRAIDING THE FLAME OF BRIGID
With the fire in the head The fire in the forge With the fire in the cauldron burning Let us braid a new cord Lay down every sword God's love in our hearts a-burning chorus: Over and Under and Over and 'Round We are braiding the flame of Brigid Over and Under and Over and 'Round She is braiding our hearts, our Brigid Come drink at her well Seek healing's true wealth Take courage her flame is still burning Seek justice and peace Come share in the feast Her spirit is now preparing (chorus) Over and Under... She brings us new hope The strength of the oak God's love in our hearts is yearning Thanksgiving and grace For the whole human race Her love for the earth we're sharing (chorus) Over and Under... May the spark she ignites Blaze up and burn bright Showering blessings all over Creation May we welcome her fire Our hearts to inspire May her flame light a New Millenium - Minette Quick |
