Love Songs to God • Ladd Bogdonoff: Music

This song came to me when I was attending the Stillpoint Institute studying with the intuitive healer, Dr. Merdith Young Sowers in New Hampshire. I was out walking in those beautiful deciduous East coast woods during one of our breaks when a large brown moose suddenly marched out of nowhere across the field where I was standing. It startled me at first...being only 50 yards away. This surprise visitor was somewhere in size between a horse and a baby elephant! Under the circumstances, I DID NOT go up and introduce myself but watched in awe and appreciation as it unhurriedly lumbered across the field and disappeared into the woods beyond. You can look up the meaning of "Moose" in Jamie Sand's book, "Medicine Cards" to see what I was working on at the time, God sent this four legged "messenger" to get my attention! In open D tuning.

MAKE ME YOUR MESSENGER

Oh my Lord, make me Your
messenger
Take my soul that longs for Thee
Oh my Lord, make me Your messenger
That walks the earth completely free.

Oh my Lord, make me Your messenger
Sing through me Your sacred song
Oh my Lord, make me Your messenger
For this heart’s where You belong.

With every breath I take,
May I feel my spirit wake
In everything I do
Let me always think of You
With every word I say
May I find a gentle way
To myself always be true
So Your love comes shining through.

Oh my Lord, make me Your messenger
Hear my prayer when I call Your name
Oh my Lord, Make me Your messenger
That spreads Your love like a mighty flame.

If I sometimes slip and fall,
Let me teach what I’ve learned to all
When I’m blinded by the night
Help me trust my second sight
Lift me up on the wings of love
Like a hawk soaring high above
Let me hear Your voice so clear
When You whisper in my ear.

Oh my Lord, make me Your messenger
From the dawn to the setting sun
Oh my Lord, make me Your messenger
For Your work is never done.

Through the changes that You made
I have healed in a thousand ways
Now my mind is calm and still
To reflect Your precious will
Fill my heart with perfect peace
As my fears they are released
For Your love has touched my soul
Now I stand before you whole.

Oh my Lord, make me Your messenger
For my life is Your very own
May I love and serve as Your messenger
Till the day You call me home
Till the day You call me home
Till the day You call me home…
Call me home…
Call me home...
