Let Us See the Beauty

Composed and Performed by Laurence Cole

Lyrics

not-used

Parts 1 and 4

Let us see the beauty every day

And source our lives from its presence

Parts 2 and 3

I want to know if you can see the beauty
Even when it’s not pretty every day
I want to know if you can see the beauty
And source your life from its presence

Notes

This song, composed by Laurence Cole, is based on a line from the poem “The Invitation” by Oriah Mountain Dreamer.  It reminds us to stop our mind and pay attention to what’s immediately at hand: come to our senses!

A rich, multilayered recording by Laurence and friends is included above, along with a simple two-part mix that is easy to teach to groups. In Parts 2 and 3, the rhythm is tricky on “and source your life from its presence” but it’s what gives the song its lilt, so it’s worth the effort to learn it.
