about

words and music by Carolyn McDade--used with permission

This song lines up with Chapter Two of "River of Grace" which deals with losing my mother to an illness--it was my mother's favorite hymn and I sang it at her funeral. This beautiful song, a staple in the Unitarian Church, embodies my mother's beliefs.

lyrics

Spirit of Life

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

Spirit of Life, come to me, come to me
