Set this spark to flame And pilgrims passing through Will find some holy ground And we’ll take off our shoes Set this spark to flame We find ourselves in you When we give everything We are not consumed Set this spark to flame Sometimes my spark is sputtering Sometimes my words are stuttering Sometimes the desert feels like home Sometimes my legs are moving slow Questions end in “I don’t know” Sometimes I just can’t trust myself The barren bush you set ablaze For each of us you do the same Set this spark to flame And pilgrims passing through Will find some holy ground And we’ll take off our shoes Set this spark to flame We find ourselves in you When we give everything We are not consumed Set this spark to flame In your presence I am free In your grace you’re filling me In your love I live and move In your light the way is clear I step out and you stay near I step out and you stay near The barren bush you set ablaze For each of us you do the same Set this spark to flame And pilgrims passing through Will find some holy ground And we’ll take off our shoes Set this spark to flame We find ourselves in you When we give everything We are not consumed Set this spark to flame The barren bush you set ablaze For each of us you do the same Set this spark to flame And pilgrims passing through Will find some holy ground And we’ll take off our shoes Set this spark to flame We find ourselves in you When we give everything We are not consumed Set this spark to flame

Love was known, love was known Love was known before Understood as “must” and “should” Love was known before Now we feel it in our bones Now we feel it in our bones Now we feel it in our bones Now you're home Dreams were dim, dreams were dim Dreams were dim before Visions blurred, hopes deferred Dreams were dim before Now we look them in the eye Now we look them in the eye Now we look them in the eye Now you're home Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa Now you're home Whoa, whoa Now you're home Grace was shared, grace was shared Grace was shared before Faith proclaimed, longings named Grace was shared before Now it's living in your life Now it's living in your life Now it's living in your life Now you're home Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa Now you're home Whoa, whoa Now you're home With growing clarity The Giver's face we see As two turn into three Our joy's becoming complete

You could say it was a twist of fate One in whatever, didn’t see it coming But the Good Lord knows when I’m on my knees It all seems clear I’m living into depths of love I never thought I’d know Still it’s just a tiny glimpse The best that I can show May you be filled Until you overflow You could say it was a twist of fate One in whatever, didn’t see it coming But the Good Lord knows when I’m on my knees It all seems clear Cause like the stars your eyes light up the night With your smile you drive out fear You wear you scars like someone else I know It all seems clear It all seems clear You’re swimming in a sea of hope Far as the eye can see Let it carry you into All you’re meant to be Then you’ll be home Then you’ll be free You could say it was a twist of fate One in whatever, didn’t see it coming But the Good Lord knows when I’m on my knees It all seems clear Cause like the stars your eyes light up the night With your smile you drive out fear You wear you scars like someone else I know It all seems clear It all seems clear When you grow, when you change Joy will be your song In times of darkness, times of pain Know that you belong May your paths be straight May your legs be strong Cause like the stars your eyes light up the night With your smile you drive out fear You wear you scars like someone else I know It all seems clear It all seems clear

There was a time when I wandered far Over prairies vast, under the stars As I trod the earthen ground I dreamed that home would one day be found At times the path was not so clear But whether far or whether near At the journey’s end I knew I’d find A beating heart, an open mind To find a voice was my first plea I knew I had a song to sing I knew that song could set things right And I would sing it through the night I found home in you I found home in you Love has come home You’re my voice, you sing my song You’re my home, where I belong In your heart and in your mind I’m complete, I am defined I found home in you I found home in you Love has come home I am love, I cast out fear I live in you, my home is here And when you give yourself to me We are whole, we’re made complete

about

Nathan Grieser Lancaster, Pennsylvania

I write songs for use in gathered worship, with the goal of making music that is engaging and accessible.

I write because I believe that music has the power to shape us, the church. Sung worship is a gift we offer God and a means by which God is present to us.

Don't hesitate to be in touch! Let me know how you are using this music, or how I can be a support or resource to you.
