_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Stone castles seem to just grow out of the [Bb] sand here.
You're on a beach, you look up, [Eb] and there is Bambara Castle,
perched high on a great [B] outcrop of rock. _
_ _ This is the site where the kings of _ [N] Northumbria lived.
And when Oswald became king in _ _ 633,
_ he asked the abbot of Iona to send monks to convert his people to Christianity.
_ _ The first mission returned to Scotland in failure,
but the success of the second was down to the gifts of its leader,
_ Aedan, who settled on _ Lindisfarne, or Holy Island, as it came [G] to be called. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ However, life on Lindisfarne became too distracting for St Aedan
and his successor, St Cuthbert,
and they came here to the [A] Farne Islands to live as hermits.
They may have withdrawn from the world,
but their influence stretched far beyond these shores. _
_ _ This was the golden age of Northumberland,
_ where [N] _ _
Northumberland was producing great art, _ _ great _ peoples,
people that have been remembered forever
_ _ because of their actual ability to _ _ communicate with other people. _ _ _
I think _ _ _ people are interested today in people like Cuthbert and Aedan
because of their _ attachment _ to the world.
_ They actually loved the world.
_ _ They loved nature, they loved living, _
and they had a great vitality for life. _ _
_ _ _ Their love of the world is reflected in the way
they _ weren't afraid to go and be on their own _ for a good while.
_ _ You can't live in a farn _ [C] _ unless you love the world.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] They saw no _ separation between holy and secular.
[Cm] There was no bit that did [C] not belong to God. _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I _ heard the voice [C] of _ Jesus [Eb] _ _
say
_ _ [Bb] _ Come _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
on to _ me [Gm] _ and _ _ [Eb] rest
_ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] Lay down, thou _ weary [Fm] _ one, _ [Cm] lay _ _ [G] _ down _ [F] thy _ _ head
[Gm] _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] I _ came to _ Jesus [Bb] _ _ as I _ was
_ [Cm] _ _ Weary and [Ab] worn [Eb] and _ _ sad
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ I [Ab] _ found in him _ [Fm] a resting _ [Gm] _ _ _ place _ _
[Ab] And he has _ made [C] me _ _ glad _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[Dm] _ heard the _ voice of _ Jesus [C] _ _ _
say
_ _ _ [F] _ Behold, _ _ _ freely [C] _ _ _
give [F] _ _ the _ living _ _ water
[Gm] _ _ _
Thirsty [F] _ _ one, _ _ _ stoop [Dm] _ down and _ _
[C] drink and [Dm] _ _ _ _
live
I came _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ to _ Jesus _ _ and I _ drank _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ life-giving [C] _ _
stream
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ My _ thirst [Bb] was _ quenched, _ [Gm] my soul _ _ [F] _ _ _
revived _ _ _ _ _ _ _
