Settings of poetry by Guru Fatha Singh Khalsa
Rise
O dead God now come arise
Open wide thine sleeping eyes
Tarry neither hesitate
All the world doth thee await
All the pain that makes thee lie
All the wounds that make thee bleed
Are but a gruesome lullaby
Rise now, to a world in need
All the love that thou wouldst share
All the hurt that though wouldn’t heal
Hide not where no-one beware
Rise and let thy truth reveal
Courage now should take it’s part
And wisdom give thee eyes to see
Rise and live with all thy heart
Until thou be returned to me.

NOW is the time we’ve been waiting for
To ferry across to the farther shore.
Now is the time to give up blame.
These times will never be the same.
Now is the time to leave behind
The stuffy strictures of a closet mind.
Now is the time for outer space,
To show our courage and live in our grace.
Now is to do what’s never been done,
To share our wisdom and freedom and fun.
All the wonder and all delight
Await the one who comes to light.
Now is the time.
