Which is the Holy Ground – v4


Which is the holy ground, when is the ground holy
a place to take off my sandals, to touch,
to walk barefoot on holy ground

We miss so much, limiting ourselves, stagnant,
if we do not see the holy in our midst, surrounding us,
everyday grace, ordinary, real, right before our eyes

All the ground is holy, sacred, a gift of the Creator;
Feel the rich earth, the hard ground,
the rock beneath our bare feet.

Walk, run, play, kneel on the holy ground,
in the innumerable sacred spaces,
in the creation all around us
