Sunday Morning and I'm feeling fine Spring is early this year The river's running and the earth is softening I can't believe it's really here And I almost called you just to say.... It's Sunday morning and the geese are back again I remember weeping in the fall as I watched them go I hear them calling And I can't help but wonder why we miss them so And I almost called you just to say.... It's Sunday morning when my heart is softer And my tears are closer to my eyes Sunday morning when the hope for peace is stronger And our prayers are lifted to the skies And I almost called you just to say.... What would I say What could I say to you, tell me What are those words that I could say to you That could cut the distance And melt the coldness And break through the silence we have found Sunday morning and I'm gazing upwards And my hands are lifted to the sky Sunday morning and my prayers are rising Prayers are rising And I almost called you I almost called you I almost called you but I don't know what I would say.

When I wake up Sun shining on me I feel its warmth around me and I feel you there When I lay down Moon high above me I feel its softness on me and I feel you there But are you here in the greyness of the day And are you here in the brown leaves still clinging to the trees Are you here I always feel you in the wind It whispers your embrace I stand amidst its fury and I feel you But even now the wind betrays me There's coldness in its fingers It rushes through me I can't feel And are you here in the greyness of the day And are you here in the brown leaves still clinging to the trees Are you here And I'd almost given up my quest for you And I fall to my knees and surrender to the cold But then I see a brown leaf dancing on the breeze It's not fallen yet Lord it's holding on And you are here in the greyness of the day And you are here in the brown leaves still clinging to the trees You are here I know you're here

Hush My Dear 03:55
Hush my dear lie still 'till the morning Hush my dear lie still Hush my dear no tears in the morning Hush my dear lie still Snow turns to rain And though the sky is not clear In the day the mist surrounds us So hush my dear no tears in the morning Hush my dear lie still Hush my dear we will laugh in the morning Hush me dear lie still In the day we will walk hand in hand by the water In the day I'll see light in your eyes So let the warmth of my arms And the beat of my heart hold you here 'Till the morning So hush my dear no fear of the morning Hush my dear lie still Hush my dear we are here 'till the morning Hush my dear lie still Noise and smells and chaos surround us Circling and aiming to harm us Circling and rising and falling like the water So hush my dear we are 'till the morning Hush my dear lie still Hush my dear I am here 'till the morning Hush my dear lie still

When there's nothing left to say And you're standing there in front of me And I don't know how to be I just never know what you want from me And I can't find the words to hide behind When there's nothing left to tell Just a final glance and I wish you well And I don't how to stand The ground is crumbling beneath me And I can't seem to stay inside myself But I hold on to the people who have loved me And I find hope when I remember the people who love me When there's nothing left to do Just find the will to walk away from you And I don't know how to move And I don't know how to breathe And I'm holding in my cry No I won't cry for you anymore But I hold on to the people who have loved me And I find hope when I remember the people who love me 'Cause for every person who drives me crazy There's another ten that I look up to And for every person who scars my heart There's another ten to break my fall And I hold on to the people who have loved me And I find hope when I remember the people who love me And I hold on to the people who have loved me And I find hope when I remember the people who love me And you loved me

HEY HEY 02:33
Hey Hey what do you say If we just don't show up today Do you think they'll notice if we're hiding Hey Hey what do you know I've got some songs to show So pour the coffee and pour the wine Let's just stay in It's been too long since I've been playing It's been too long since you were staying There's something missing in my soul So you better get comfy now 'Cause we're in for the long haul now Sing to me when the lights are low Hey Hey what's that song Would you mind if I played along I might forget the words but I know how to sing it Yeah I know how to sing it It's been too long since I've been playing It's been too long since you were staying There's something missing in my soul So you better get comfy now 'Cause we're in for the long haul now Sing to me when the lights are low And when you sing it out The world just melts away And when you play with me Just play with me Hey Hey I gotta go See the rest of the world you know But in my head I'm beside you playing So keep on playing Hey Hey what do you say Hey Hey what do you know Hey Hey I gotta go

Here I am again Homemade wine in the silence of the night Facing forwards, gazing backwards again With trembling toes I gather myself for the right Now the leaves are changing Geese are gathering again And I watch them as the fade away and disappear And leave me here Here I am again, always waiting For something I can't even name Still I'm holding on and battling myself With trembling heart I gather myself all the same Now the leaves are changing Geese are gathering again And I watch them as they fade away and disappear And leave me here Just leave me here

Lay your head down Mother Lay your head down my friend One last whisper to the heavens, Ave Then lay your head down The room is quiet but noise creeps in from the hall Laughter blasting onto silent ears There's no ghost here, no lingering longing Why are the walls so white Lay your head down Mother Lay your head down my friend One last whisper to the heavens, Ave Then lay your head down In the silence I try to swallow every tear But you're so lovely tears sneak up on me I am weeping but don't shed a tear for me Just enter arms wide open And hold your little girl from 1929 Hold that little girl who's ever on your mind Hold that little girl from 1929 Or will she hold you Lay your head down Mother Lay your head down my friend One last whisper to the heavens, Ave Then lay your head down Ave Maria Gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Ave, ave dominus Dominus tecum Benedicta tu in mulieribus Et benedictus Et benedictus fructus ventris Ventris tuae, Jesus. Ave Maria Lay your head down Mother Lay your head down my friend One last whisper to the heavens, Amen Then lay your head down

I am weary I have grown accustomed to This feeling in my eyes And face and heart I am waiting Every praying For a guiding light In front of my two feet So I open up my hands And try to hold the warmth of the sun And I watch it on my fingers And I finally understand I have found the strength I've been longing for On my knees I'm not broken I am driving I see her running The panic in her eyes Reflect the sky of grey I see him standing there He turns his back to her Still she's running on To claim what he has hold of So I open up my hands And try to hold the warmth of the sun And I watch it on my fingers And I finally understand I have found the strength I've been longing for On my knees I'm not broken I'm not broken One last look to the sky To a blue I can hardly recognize And I wonder Does that blue reflect my eyes So I open up my hands And try to hold the warmth of the sun And I watch it on my fingers And I finally understand I have found the strength I've been longing for On my knees I'm not broken

I went to find you My heart was heavy Could you feel it In your heart so real And all-encompassing Were you heavy too My footsteps thunder And they rattle through my bones On the frozen barren ground My heart is racing And my tears freeze to my skin I need to find you And then the sky opened up to me Brown was gold and they grey turned to light When the sky opened up to me Through the clouds the sun shone bright So many questions Pulsing through my blood And all the answers are concealed How much longer 'till I finally break How much longer 'till I find you And then the sky opened up to me Brown was gold and the grey turned to light When the sky opened up to me Through the clouds the sun shone bright Through the clouds the sun shone bright I'm always racing Full force into you And here I'm crashing to a halt And as I stand here In the silence and the cold I feel warmth creeping up my spine And then the sky opened up to me Brown was gold and the grey turned to light When the sky opened up to me Through the clouds the sun shone bright Through the clouds

Lost in the melody again So deep you dream in black and white Caught in the rhythm and it's pounding But the song is strange and you can't find it Let it rise in you Let it settle now Let it fill this place Let the music in It was a risk to take It was wine untasted It was such a ride with never peace in mind Only hope for better Let it rise in you Let it settle now Let it fill this place Let the music in Let it rise in you Let it settle now Let it fill this place Let it rise in you Let it settle now Let it fill this place Let the music in

about

Let the Music In is Cassia Schramm's debut album. It was recorded in Rosebud, Alberta by Kjel Erickson. It includes the work of various Rosebud musicians, who were generous in giving their time to the album. Recording was a bit of an adventure. It was recorded in the Sunday School rooms of Rosebud Church during the summer of 2010, through thunder storms and various challenges. This album is the sweat and heart of many talented human beings, most especially Kjel Erickson, Jim & Charlene Schramm, and Alysa van Haastert.
