Yes, we did sing that one!
I just can't remember singing Song of the Soul in the Order.

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 The Methodist Hymnal. We probably did sing this hymn in the Order.

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.

Thank you Nancy. I love this song too. Don't remember it from Order singing. Appreciate the words. Saved me some transcription time!

Dear Janice,

I thought we sang this in the Order?  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.

Open my eyes that I may see,
Glimpses of truth thou hast for me.
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit divine.

Love of my life I am crying
I am not dying, I am dancing
Dancing along in the madness
There is no sadness
Only the song of the soul

cho: And we'll sing this song
     Why don't you sing along
     Then we can sing for a long, long time
     Why don't you sing this song
     Then we can sing along
     Then we can sing for a long, long time

What do you do for a living
Are you forgiving, giving shelter
Follow your heart, love will find you
Truth will unbind you
Seek out a song of the soul

Come to your life like a warrior
Nothing will bore yer, you can be happy
Let in the light, it will heal you
And you can feel you
Sing out a song of the soul

Love of my life I am crying
I am not dying, I am dancing
Dancing along in the madness
There is no sadness
Only the song of the soul
