Thanks Jann. Somehow you and I may be the only ones that remember singing it in the Order. It doesn;t matter so much, we have it in our Songaia songbook and sing it a lot.<br><br>Nancy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, May 12, 2013 at 6:50 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:LAURELCG@aol.com" target="_blank">LAURELCG@aol.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>The words of the first verse are from the hymn, "Open my Eyes,
That I May See", the first and last phrase of the first verse, by Clara H.
Scott, 1841 - 1897, according to <i>The Methodist Hymnal.</i> We probably did
sing this hymn in the Order.</div>

<div>It's a Chris Williamson song on her album, 'The Changer and the Changed',
a classic in the women's music tradition from the 70's. Released on Olivia
Records (which was THE Lesbian independent music distributor), it sold a half
million copies. Don't know whether Chris is the author or whether it's
"traditional". As far as I can remember, it's not an Order song.</div>

My experience of community singing gets mixed up between the Order and
Songaia, but I thought Fred, Stan Carol and I brought it to
Songaia. Here are the words. I am adding the first part that
you hear with the link from yesterday, it was not included when I found the
verses and chorus on line this morning.<br><br>Open my eyes that I may
see,<br>Glimpses of truth thou hast for me.<br>Open my eyes, illumine
me,<br>Spirit divine.<br><br>Love of my life I am crying<br>I am not dying, I
am dancing<br>Dancing along in the madness<br>There is no sadness<br>Only the
song of the soul<br><br>cho: And we'll sing this
song<br> Why don't you sing
along<br> Then we can sing for a long, long
time<br> Why don't you sing this
song<br> Then we can sing
along<br> Then we can sing for a long, long
time<br><br>What do you do for a living<br>Are you forgiving, giving
shelter<br>Follow your heart, love will find you<br>Truth will unbind
you<br>Seek out a song of the soul<br><br>Come to your life like a
warrior<br>Nothing will bore yer, you can be happy<br>Let in the light, it
will heal you<br>And you can feel you<br>Sing out a song of the
soul<br><br>Love of my life I am crying<br>I am not dying, I am
dancing<br>Dancing along in the madness<br>There is no sadness<br>Only the
song of the soul<br><br> <a title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVyWFFhmx6k" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVyWFFhmx6k" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVyWFFhmx6k</a><br><br><br>
