about

I like coffee.

I wanted to write a song to drink coffee to in the morning. Something to start the day off on a positive note. After all, the world is a bit of a mess nowadays. It’s easy to get sucked into the vacuum of negativity and polarization. But each day, each breath we breathe, is a gift. We need to remember that.

Frederick Buechner wrote:
“The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn’t have been complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don’t be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can ever separate us. It’s for you I created the universe. I love you.

There’s only one catch. Like any other gift, the gift of grace can be yours only if you’ll reach out and take it. Maybe being able to reach out and take it is a gift too” (Wishful Thinking: A Seeker’s ABC, p. 39).

“Coffee Song” is one of my ways of reaching out and taking that gift of grace. ***It’s also a handy song if your name is Grace and you’re throwing a party***

COFFEE SONG
by Joel Bidderman

Go ahead, invite me in

And pour some more coffee again

Let the morning arise

And let us sing without melody

And talk without words cutting in

Explore the world’s mysteries…and then

Relax for a while, while looking for the horizon

Chorus:
And let us walk

And let us talk

And let us fall in love with the world
as we lift our eyes to the sky

Oh this breath we breathe

Is too good not to share

Grace – is having a party right here

I know this place is beautiful

And this place is terrible

But that’s no reason to fear

Through this silent dance of lives

Let us laugh with our eyes

And through our tears grin

Because peace is here…even if you don’t feel it yet
