Sacred Small – August 2019 - Words and Music by Barb Biffle

This was written as a song of comfort and peace.

A “Sacred Small” is a term coined by the author/composer as it refers to those comforting memory vignettes that we cherish. They reside within us all.

They can be summoned, often unexpectedly, by circumstances, or we can call them up to bring us consolation when Life seems to be overwhelming.

We can also look for more of them in our daily lives, to preserve in our hearts for when they are needed later.

They are all around us…our Sacred Smalls.

lyrics

LYRICS

Remember the time that you scraped your knee, and ran to your Mom in tears,

She held you close and whispered her love as she brushed away your fears.

That feeling of comfort is still in your heart; it’s there at your beck and call.

Let it guide your love as it strengthens your soul. It’s called the Sacred Small.


Chorus

The Sacred Smalls within us all, gathered with love from near and far,
When needed the most, let yourself be the host for these touchstones of the heart.


The World closes in, our resolve grows thin as we struggle to sort it all out.

A past that was rough, or the pain of a loss fills our minds with sorrow and doubt.

Then a look, or a touch, or a scent on the breeze, when least expected at all,

Can let in the light in the darkest of nights. It’s called the Sacred Small.


Chorus:

The Sacred Smalls within us all, gathered with love from near and far,
When needed the most, let yourself be the host for these touchstones of your heart.
