I’ve been working on learning the song “Three Ways,” by Jakob Dylan/the Wallflowers. I think the song is really about making choices in life, and how one choice effects the next. This song really reflects what I’ve been thinking about my church recently, so I’ve been working on it and hope to sing it at one of our last services of the year.

On that same note, this reminded me that I had a recording of our music service from about a month ago, and my performance of Spirit of Life was in it. I opened up the file and found it. It was not very clear, but I edited it out and uploaded it.

In case you don’t know it, it is hymn 123 from the UU hymnal, “Singing the Living Tradition.” Words and music by Carolyn McDade, and if you can’t hear the words on the recording, they are:

Spirit of Life, come unto me. Sing in my heart all the stirrings of compassion. Blow in the wind, rise in the sea; move in the hand, giving life the shape of justice. Roots hold me close; wings set me free; Spirit of Life, come to me, come to me.

And here is the recording: Spirit of Life MP3
