lyrics
Candida Casa
I walked these deserts, long before I knew you;
Oh sweet Desert Fathers, teach us how to pray.
I searched for secrets, deep within this land;
The spirits of our saints were there, guiding us, reminding us.
I sang in liturgies, freer than the wind;
Teach us how to lose ourselves, you bards of yesterday.
Dazzled by the woven chord, tradition not the past;
The spirits of our prophets sang, guiding us, reminding us.
I see the broken strands, the culture of divide;
Oh sweet Celtic Christians, teach us what we lost.
Your wider family, your hospitality;
The fire of your community, rebuilding us, redeeming us.
Candida Casa, this shining house,
Heavenly father, is built by you,
And by your son, it is restored,
And in your Spirit, like sunlight is bathed.
I walked these deserts, long before I knew you;
Oh sweet Desert Fathers, teach us how to pray.
I searched for secrets, deep within this land;
The spirits of our saints were there, guiding us, reminding us.
I sang in liturgies, freer than the wind;
Teach us how to lose ourselves, you bards of yesterday.
Dazzled by the woven chord, tradition not the past;
The spirits of our prophets sang, guiding us, reminding us.
I see the broken strands, the culture of divide;
Oh sweet Celtic Christians, teach us what we lost.
Your wider family, your hospitality;
The fire of your community, rebuilding us, redeeming us.
Candida Casa, this shining house,
Heavenly father, is built by you,
And by your son, it is restored,
And in your Spirit, like sunlight is bathed.
