I Call To You
By Jeff Johnson
When my eyes cannot see,
And my heart cannot feel,
When my soul longs for mercy,
I call to you.
Take my eyes,
Take my heart,
Take my soul –
Make them whole.
I am lost,
If you won’t hear my prayer.
Grant me faith,
Grant me faith.
When my eyes cannot see,
And my heart cannot feel,
When my soul longs for mercy,
I call to you.

Shall I? (The Journey Home)
By Jeff Johnson
– Words based on a text from "The Pilgrim" featured in "A Golden Treasury Of Irish Poetry (AD 600 - 1200).
Shall I, King of the mysteries,
Point my face to the sea,
And turn my back on my native land,
With your hand keeping me?

Brendan's Prayer
By Jeff Johnson
All my life I took this path,
But along I walked alone.
What can I say to be here now?
What did I think, what did I know?
When I am gone don't follow me,
Unless you seek this loneliness.
What can I say to be here now?
What did I think, what did I know?
"The King of Love my shepherd is,
Whose goodness never fails me,
Upon his shoulders gently laid,
My heart will soon be home."*
*Words from an ancient Irish hymn, "The King Of Love My Shepherd Is."

O Redemptor
By Jeff Johnson & Janet Chvatal
– Derived from a sixth century trisagion (Kiev), author unknown.
O Redemptor,
sume carmen temet concinentium.
Rex perennis patriae,
(Album implens virginis,)
Una spes mortalium,
O Redemptor, audi voces,
sume carmen temet concinentium.
O Redeemer,
Receive the hymn of those who sing to thee in harmony.
O king of the eternal fatherland,
(Who didst fill the Virgin's womb,)
The one hope of mortal men,
O Redeemer, listen to the voices –
receive the hymn of those who sing to thee in harmony.
Audi voces – Listen to the voices.

The Fiery Mountain (Part 1) – Sheol
By Jeff Johnson
Follow me down,
I know where to go.
Just follow me down,
I know where to go.
And pray for me,
Please pray for me,
As I make my way towards Sheol.
Pray for me,
Please pray for me,
As I make my way towards Sheol.
Follow me down,
I know where to go.
Just follow me down,
I know where to go.

The Fiery Mountain (Part 2) – Nothing Immortal
By Jeff Johnson & Janet Chvatal
– Words excerpted from an epic poem by Juvencus (c. 330)
Immortale nihil mundi
compage tenetur
Quo cunctum torrens rapiat flamma
ultima mundum.
Non orbis, non regna, non mare, non tellus ...
Nam statuit genitor rerum irrevocabile tempus –
Immortale.
Nothing immortal is contained in the whole fabric of this universe –
Not the globe, nor kingdoms, nor sea, nor land.
For the creator of all things,
Has appointed an unchangeable moment,
When a last searing conflagration shall annihilate the whole world.

Navigatio
By Jeff Johnson
I have earned my sin,
Nearly spent my soul,
I have lost my way,
Until now.
On the world's edge,
I have found a door,
On the world's edge,
I can see again.
So let my ship sail like Brendan's,
Let it carry me home.
May the Three guide my passage,
Towards the Island of Light.
So let my ship sail like Brendan's,
Let it carry me home.
And may the Three guide my passage,
Towards the Island of Hope.
I have earned my sin,
Nearly spent my soul,
I have lost my way,
Until now.
On the world's edge,
I have found a door,
On the world's edge,
I can see again.
